Full review
I needed a desktop computer so I scouted about and came up with the Dx5150, I measured my desk to make sure it would fit then I ordered one online.
It's a very smart and like with many computers it's very quiet, it comes ith 512MB of memory which was a nice feature, normally pc's only come with 256MB. Also because this is a business PC it comes with Windows XP PRO. The hard drive is a SATA drive which is now becoming the new standard in computers but you can add another one if you wish.
Installing the PC was dead easy, conencting to a router was easy, it found it straight away. The back of the PC has a nice bank of 6 USB ports so you can plug all your devices in.
The front has a headphone socket, Mic socket and 2 USB ports and above the ports is a flap you can remove to install a floppy drive or a media card reader if you wish.
My only gripe is that it comes with a DVD_ROM and not a DVD rewriter, I removed the dvd-rom and replaced it and that is the only change I had to make to the PC.
Bottom line is that this PC is smart, quiet, a great size and well worth buying if you have limited space.
