Dell Dimension 2400

Advantages: Monitor, Business, Keyboard, Look.
Disadvantages: Slow, Heavy, Space taker.

...Well the Dell Dimension 2400 I could say is pretty good for business purposes. Dell does let you customize it but its more of a business system. Its not really all that fast, it has two ram slots no agp slot. Which means no video card, which means no high quality good games. How ever I recommend this system for typing, at home jobs, and for searching purposes. Pretty good size monitor but thats about it. Works with windows xp and lower O.S. <Operating Systems> Very good for a started computer and last a long time. Not the best for traveling and taking along with you. Not a bad system though but don't take my word for it try it out see what you think about it. Comes with a cool keyboard and mouse, plus I like the style....

dell dimension 2400

Advantages: easy to order, quick to deliver
Disadvantages: dodgy costomer services

...'t buy elsewhere) By this time it was 2 weeks before Christmas and had presumed that there was no way I'd have it delivered in time. To my total amazement again it only took 5 days (and I'm not even talking working days!) For this I forgave then their sins. Again everything worked perfectly. Its not quite as fast as our main computer but then the only thing we'd upgraded from the basic model was from a cd/re-writer combi drive to seperate drives (£10 bargain), but more than adequate for a second desktop. This so impressed my sister she had me order one for her from the Dell New Year sale. This time we had to wait 7 days for delivery but eveything went well. Despite this 3rd PC being exactly the same as our second one it was a further £40 cheaper but we got a free MP3 player with the second one. Again showing that nothing is really...

Review of Dell

Hold on for the next dimension!!!!!!

Advantages: no middle man
Disadvantages: can become expensive

...I first bought my Dell Dimension 2400 series last year. Me and my friend Emma had been messing around on the Internet and came across dells website. We had a look at the computers and I basically chose the cheapest one there. I never expected to get finance for it as I have a really bad credit rating so really we were just messing. It was really easy to browse on the website you chose the computer you want then on each next page there was a list of components that you could choose to go with the computer. I did all this and at the end I put in all my details. Within a few minutes it came back to say that I had been accepted for the finance. I was to say the least very shocked at this, but I was excited that I was getting a new computer. I had been using my mum's old laptop for a while but it was an old one and only came with Windows...

Review of Dell Dimension 2400

INTO THE NEXT DIMENSION

Advantages: Customise before you buy, very easy to setup, Dell support and its products are reliable.
Disadvantages: None so far

...Our household now has two Dell Dimension 2400 computers such was are satisfaction with the quality of the product. Coming in a more fashionable black exterior they also look much better. We were also surprised how easy it was to setup the machine, leads are colour coordinated with the plugs and the diagram showing how everything went together gets 10/10 from me especially when compared to quick-fit furniture. ---Price--- Not the cheapest of computers, but you paying for the service really as there has been no major problem whatsoever with the system. The price of the computer in question is approx £700, but the price always changes every month or two so keep an eye out for the best deals. In addition keep a look out for special offers which change often e.g at the time of writing if you get 80gb hard drive you can upgrade to 120...

Review of Dell Dimension 2400

Dell

Advantages: Black case, quality
Disadvantages: price

...The ability to be able to customise the computer on the Dell website is a very handy feature. However many of the upgrade prices are not discounted much, or are even slightly inflated to the price you would pay if you brought them yourself. Considering Dell get to keep the 'old' component (in most cases), and also considering Dells buying power then there should be a huge reduction. I brought this PC from dells website for £391 currently it has free shipping, but when the offer is off it costs around £50 I believe! Which would really bump the price up. First Impressions: ------------------------ The PC looks fantastic, the black case is alot better than the usual beige computer case colour! The case appears to be of a high quality. Also the monitor, mouse and keyboard are in the matching black colour. Makes your computer look...

Review of Dell Dimension 2400

Dell - so cool!

Advantages: Looks are everything
Disadvantages: Hard to leave it alone (kids not allowed!!!)

...Introduction. Having struggled with an aged Pentium 200MMX PC for the past few years it was time to break free and upgrade. Following recommendations from many friends we decided on the very affordable Dell Dimension 2400 Series Computer. Although not ?cutting edge? it provides all the attributes we needed. The cost was very good at £630, which included delivery charges. It is possible to have the system installed by a Dell engineer and with an extended warranty but at a cost of over £100 this was something we could not afford. I am fairly comfortable with taking our existing system to bits and moving it around the house so I considered it a risk worth taking to save the £100. However assembly was a peace of cake as cables and connectors are colour coded and the instructions are quite intuitive. The Dell Dimension 2400...

Dell Dimension 5150

Advantages: Excellent media capabilities
Disadvantages: Lacks wireless peripherals

.... One of the things I found disappointing was that it does not allow the connection of PS2 keyboard and mouse which can be frustrating as people still use these, also a floppy drive was not installed. I am not sure if it was the users' preference upon purchase, but from what I know the New Dell E510 has one as standard. On the other hand it had 7 usb ports which can also be used for keyboard and mouse connections. Two of these ports are accessible on the front of the stylish Artic Silver BTX case allowing connection of devices such as MP3 players, scanners, digital cameras and much more. Overall a good PC for the price, although lacking certain additions such as a wireless internet connection, fiirewire connection and lacks wireless peripherals. Everything is there that creates a good multimedia computer, which is capable of playing most...

MY Dell Dimension E520

Advantages: Great value, excellent looks, build your own - wide range of components!
Disadvantages: Dell Bios - Basically Locks any tweaking options! Awful keyboard and mouse! No FireWire as Standard.

...The excellent value Dell Dimension E520 system is built around the Intel Pentium D processors, they may be a bit old to date but even so, they offer the new Intel ViiV technology to provide you with an excellent media experience! Despite the lack of AMD processors, Dell have come out shining with the E520 - with at least 1GB of PC2-4200 DDR2 memory, you will be more than happy as you can easily run simultaneous, demanding applications at the same time. The dual core Intel Pentium D provides you with bags of processing power which will be very handy will today's demanding and power hungry games! Test's with Nero 7 Premium gave excellent results. We captured a 120 minute movie with ease and then burnt it to DVD in less than 30 minutes including encoding in super high quality! As well as this, we tested some of the most popular games...

Review of Dell Dimension E520

Dells Dimension Desktop, a real Deal.

Advantages: Great value for money.
Disadvantages: Only available off the Internet.

...The Dell Dimension 8400 PC has loads going for it, I should know, I'm on one right now. This first thing to note about all Dell PCs is that they are not available in high street stores the main source of their sales is over the internet; this should obviously not a problem to anyone reading this review. Also the specs given with this PC are the standard specs, when purchasing online you have the choice to upgrade any of the components, or downgrade if necessary, this is also know as the option to "personalize" your computer. I personally would recommend upgrading the screen to a 17" flat screen, or higher, as you lose nothing in the way of image quality and this saves loads of space. Often deals can be found on the Dell site offering discounts for certain upgrades, the monitor upgrade can be purchased without any offer or deal...

Review of Dell Dimension 8400

Time for a new Dimension

Advantages: Large hard drive, lovely widescreen monitor
Disadvantages: Slow processor for the size, bulky

...When my husband was alive, one thing he loved to buy was a computer. So much so that when he died, we had 7 computers in the house, which is testament both to how much he loved buying them and also to how loathe he was to dispose of them. Over time I started to offload them one by one ? including two earlier Dell Dimension models. However the E521 was the very last computer he bought and as a result was the one I decided to keep as the sole desktop computer in the house once I had moved my daughter on to a laptop. My husband purchased the E521 in 2007, and it?s an easy on the eye machine, if somewhat bulky. At the time Dell were still offering a choice of XP or Vista for the operating system and given we had concerns about bugs in Vista and compatibility issues with other hardware, he decided to opt for XP. As with all Dell...
