Dell Desktop Dimension 1100

...to upgrade (have to use Dell parts mostly) and that the customer support wasn't great. The prices fitted very well with my budget, so I placed my order.. I received a call from the delivery company letting me know exactly when the system would arrive. It was delivered within 4 days of ordering, and at the start of the given time slot. A day later I was a bit concerned about the temperature, so ran some diagnostics and discovered the the video bios ...
...just with Dell. Contacting Dell has been the worst customer support experience I have ever had, until I wrote to them and received a call about a week after writing. More about that later though. Speaking generally, emails aren't replied to, unless there is a huge backlog and these replies turn up later down the line. But when phoning, I was transferred to India, then put onto tech support and had to wait for at least 15 minutes while the messages ...

Review of Dell Desktop Dimension 1100

...recently. This is where the Dell shows it's downside. As simple as it is, it provides very little workability for advanced users. After looking into the problem and attempting many fixes, I had no luck solving the problem - I could still watch no videos. The only solution would be to reinstall the operating system - something that is tricky on this computer, as no install disk is provided! I eventually resorted to acquiring my own install disk, ...
...the lack of expansion options. There are no true graphics slots (AGP or PCI-E), so the best dedicated graphics card I could fit was the nVidia 6200 PCI. This is a very basic card and does not allow games with advanced graphics to be played, which was a problem for me. There are no extra slots for further hard drives either. Overall, the system is very good for a basic user, particularly for families who require a simple, relatively cheap personal ...

Review of Dell Desktop Dimension 1100

...year old machine with another Dell Dimension 1100. Both of my machines came with very tidy Dell midnight gray 15" flat screen monitors, and not the CRT monitor that appears in the picture above. There take up very little room and are very preasing to the eye. The processor is the Celeron D and from what I have read is supposed to be a budget chip. However it seems fast enough for any man nor beast who just wants to surf the net, listen and transfer ...
...be had online As I have already said, I have bought two since December, and I have not had to contact Dell customer services yet, so I cannot comment on their customer service. But hey! it may be early days, but for now they do the job for me ...

Review of Dell Desktop Dimension 1100

...It's good to know that Dell take the hassle out of all this and give you exactly what you want - a good value PC with enough flexibility to deliver what you want, when you want it, which for most of us is yesterday! I've recently bought a Dell Dimension PC in one of their package deals. That doesn't mean to say that I had to compromise on any of the features I wanted. The whole process of buying a Dell computer online is easy with plenty of options ...
...and keyboard and a basic Dell Printer. *** Buying Online*** The first note of caution is that the price you initially see doesn't include VAT and delivery, so be prepared for the price to jump up suddenly when you embark on tailoring your PC package. You also have to watch out for other little essential extras such as internal modem, printer cable and recovery CD's. Although this is a bit cheeky, the overall price still manages to be very competitive ...

Review of Dell Desktop Dimension 1100

...had heard good things about Dell and bought with confidence but my PC failed miserably after 3 years and I couldn't get any help from Dell. It started by crashing a lot and then eventually the hard disk failed completely . as well as this the CD player died as well. the monitor had been replaced also. We have had some at work and they seem generally to be quite poor quality. I am sure Dell used to be better than this so I can't help but feel they ...
...a particular label/number and they didn't want to know. I finally ditched the whole machine and bought from another manufacturer. the quality difference is so marked I will never buy another Dell again. also I keep being bombarded by Dell junk mail ever since I bought from them! ...

Review of Dell Desktop Dimension 1100

...you will have to use dell parts and to change one thing you would have to change others(e.g graphics card-the motherboard has integrated graphics card and doesn't have a PCI-E, so you would have to buy a new motherboard and graphics card) . Apart from that it runs smoothly enough and is good for money. I am writing this review from a dell 1100 so you now know it works. Never need manufacture support. It runs pretty fast unless you have lots of programmes ...
