Great Stock Model
Review of Gateway E 1400 - PIII 650 MHz - 15" CRT by
noldschool
Advantages: upgradeable
Disadvantages: stock model
...to do when buying the Gateway is check the manufacturer's warranty. For Gateway, to find out about the warranty on the sys, you have two options. For detailed warranty you will need to contact Gateway's Customer Service department, (1-800-846-2301),and give the serial number for the system, or go to the gateway website (www.gateway.com) and input the serial number in the support link.
This system is completely upgradeable except for the processor, ... ...cover tutorials or configuration changes. Gateway offers an advanced technical support team that is fee-based. They are called Answers By Gateway and are so technically advanced they would be able to provide you with technical support on any computer that you have (doesn't matter if it is a Gateway or not). Answers By Gateway will give tutorials and show you how to use the system.
Overall this machine is a good system if you are looking for something ...

Will need upgrades.
Review of Gateway E 3200 - PIII 600 MHz - 17" CRT by
noldschool
Advantages: Inexpensive
Disadvantages: Stock Model
...system for you. Gateway technical support (1-800-846-2301) would be more than happy to assist you with upgrading the system, all you need to provide them with is the serial number for the machine (located at the back of the tower). The sound is integrated, but upgradeable with a standard PCI soundcard. You would also be able to upgrade the video card in the same fashion.
Overall, for the system, the quality and price match. It should only be used ...

Disadvantages: Too many to list

Advantages: Really good Graphics, Good value for money

Dell XPS 700
I have had the Dell XPS 700 for about 2 years and its still in good working condition! Although i bought the newer verson 2 days ago Dell XPS 730! It is much better!

It comes in 2 colours on the front ethier Black or Red (mines Black) It is in a slanted shape and has a silver case on the front is has a Logo saying '' Dell ''! It also has XPS on the two sides! Also it has Neon lights at the very top of the front case ... ...too! It was the first Dell XPS desktop i ever got and its one of the best computers i have ever got! It came with Dell speakers and subwoofer and a 15'' monitor! The only bad thing about it is that its really big and is realy noisey!!! But apart from that it is a really good computer!

Good Budget PC, but not for gaming!
Review of Dell Inspiron 530 - Pentium Dual Core E2140 1.6 GHz - 17" TFT by
yatzue
Advantages: Good value, runs most common apps well
Disadvantages: Struggles with high intensity graphics apps and games
...nothing special here, quite typical Dell styling - neat and clean, but not particularly eye catching!
Finally, high intensity programs such as professional design apps and games, this PC will simply not cope! Personally I would not recommend Dell for this as, having used a number of different models, come no where close to a custom built PC for the same price. ...
