The in's and outs of Dellivision
Review of Dell Dimension 8300 - P4 2.8 GHz - 17" TFT by
Kikie705
Advantages: Great programs and a lovely lightweight monitor
Disadvantages: Too many gadgets to play with!
When I first got this computer, I was in love. So many new features and games, and everything loaded so quickly! Compared to my old model, it was a dream come true. But I soon found that, although many of the extra programs they had given me worked, they also took up plenty of space.
However, after clearing out all the excess junk and saying goodbye to several new games they had installed for me, it isn't a bad little computer. I am a student at ... ...half my gear, and being able to pack away my computer in a little lightweight box is brilliant - I dont have to worry about carrying it half a mile to the car and then keeping it safe on the journey.
The DVD and CD reader and rewriter are brilliant - at least they suit someone like me who, as a student spend a lot of my time making cheap CD's. However, although this is a great machine for the occasional essay and a quick surf of the internet, I ...

Review of Apple iMac Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz - 24" TFT by
Segedunum
Advantages: Brilliant screen, fast, runs Windows too
Disadvantages: Virtually none, but not good for DIY upgrades.
Introduction
I was walking through some wood on the Scottish Borders one day when we came across a cottage where we saw a Cavalier King Charles sitting on a chair in the sun, and a gentleman working on a computer. We got chatting about the dog (as we also have a Cavalier) and the conversation inevitable turn the his computer which happened to be an iMac 2.4GHz, 24" Core 2 Duo model being used for photography and graphics. The gentleman showed me ... ...me that I should give up my Windows PC and to switch to MAC for my main uses of photo and video. If I was really stuck, I was told that Mac could run any Windows programmes I needed on it.
My main intention was to leave the Windows PC for day to day use, and use the MAC PC for hobbies only - more of that later. However, a few weeks later, after looking at reviews and seeing the machine again, I took the plunge and bought the iMac - a decision I ...

boaler88
Advantages: Lots of storage great upgrade capacity.
Disadvantages: requires a professional to install correctly
HP ML350 are very very excellent servers.
these machines are very reliable and very fast, and widely used in many businesses across the UK
they tend to run best with Windows SBS loaded as the operating system.
with 5 hard drive bays you can have more than enough storage space for your company use. so you could have a maximum storage capacity of 5TB if you required it.
Dual intel Xeon capability.
Maximum RAM of 32GB if the G5 version of the ML350 ... ...a redundant Power supply into the server, it is a very good idea to purchase a redundant Power supply, this will keep your seerver Powered from a different wall socket if you primary Power supply should fail.
also with a onboard RAID controller allowing the user to setup redundancy on there data which comes in handy if the worst was to happen.
Problems with these server are very RARE.
absolute brilliant value for money and very Reliable, perfedt ...

Disadvantages: Usually unwaned software come pre installed, but can be removed easily
The hp dc5800 is a brilliant consumer product,
i currently work for a computer firm and we have had quite a few HP deskyop PCs brought in and installed for our clients.
The Hp desktops are very reliable and speedy machines, they tend to come complete with manufacturer software such as:-

The hp software is not really needed but the roxio cd/dvd creatpr is ... ...fast dependable data transfer rated over any network.
