Hello Dell-Boy!

Advantages: Functional, good software package
Disadvantages: Not as advanced as the pricey ones

...Wow! A new computer for my Masters studies! Wahey! The Dell Dimension like all Dell computers is only available online and only comes in the colour of black. It is a desktop computer- a decision I made after seeing just how much cheaper desktops are becoming than laptops. The other benefit, of course, is the generally greater disk space available in bulkier machines. My particular package was pretty low-spec in that it came with a normal-sized monitor (no flat-screen magic here) and a single CD/DVD-Rom drive rather than the optional 2. Here is my exact specification: HARDWARE: Dimension 3000 Celeron 320 (2.40GHz) List D09305 Dimension 3000 256MB RAM FREE - Double Memory Promo 512MB (2x256) Dual Channel DDR333~512MB DDR333 Dual Channel Memory (2x256) 40GB IDE Hard Drive (7200rpm) 429-11152 48X DVD/CDRW Combo Drive...

Review of Dell Dimension 3000 (D04305)

Dell Dimension 5150

Advantages: Excellent media capabilities
Disadvantages: Lacks wireless peripherals

...travels over, this helps keep overall temperature down of the CPU can PC. With the two internal fans, the PC runs to a very quiet level of noise which is very impressive. The case is also very user friendly with the way it allows you to open the sides of the PC case with a easy to use pull and slide system, no more need for screwdrivers and lost screws! This is also evident once inside the case, the slide system also works with the installation and removal of optical drives, and the Hard Drive connection is just a simple click in system, which is very easy to do and very secure. Its has a second slot for the upgrade of a hard drive and two more slots for expanding memory, up to 4gig. All of the cables are also very tidily hidden away which also helps the air flow through the computer and makes upgrading parts easier with more space avaliable...

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...

Dell Dimension E521

Advantages: 19" screen, Dualcore Processor, 320Gb Hdd, 2gb Ram
Disadvantages: Vista, Sound card, no software included

...I have bought this desktop after my laptop mysteriously broke down one day. I found out there were several interesting offers on the Dell website and this Dell Dimension E521 was well within my budget of £650. On the day I ordered my PC I got a free memory upgrade of 2GB (instead of 1GB), a reduction in the price of the 19" monitor, and £50 off. However, after I modified the computer to fit my needs, It came down to a total of £661. For this money I got: -AMD Athlon 64x2 processor 5000 (2.6Ghz, 512k) -2GB PC2-4200 DDR2 Memory -ATI Radeon X1300 pro 256MB DVI/VGA output -230 7200rpm SATA Hard Drive -16x DVD+/-RW Burner -19" Dell E197FP LCD Monitor -10/100 Ethernet -Six USB 2.0 Ports -Windows Vista deluxe edition. Let me begin with the advantages: It has a very fast processor and in combination with the 2GB ram it is...

Review of Dell Dimension E521

Totally Unimpressed with Dell Dimension 9200

Advantages: Powerful, Good Looking, Large Memory and Space
Disadvantages: Heavy, Sold as it is with poor starting performance, a bunch of crap software installed.

...give much detailed information, but i recommend if you choose Dell Dimension 9200, be ready for everything, and dont forget that the warranty, the most expensive one is the best thing you can choose, rather than memory, space or accessories. I recommend a Dell 5.1 Sound System, Logitech Web Camera, Windows Home Edition rather than Media Center, pick the printer only if it's for free, because its very poor, and a 19'' monitor should be the best to choose, 1024MB DDR RAM should give you enough performance, and dont make the same mistake picking 500GB because its hard to fill it up and believe me doing that reduces computer performance, 160-320GB is totally enough. Intel Pentium has its own advantages, and a computer is optimal for playing games, media, or basic office work, but i dont believe this machine can survive more than 3 years...

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....

Review of Dell Dimension 2400

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...

Review of Dell Dimension E521

5150 - In another dimension!!

Advantages: A fast, quiet, reliable computer!
Disadvantages: Dell components might have compatibility issues with other components

...Dell Dimension 5150 A quick point before I review this? It is a desktop computer. The picture ciao have put up is of a laptop/notebook, but the Dimension 5150 is most definitely a desktop! I'll try and get the picture modified! My parents have had this computer for a couple of months now and it's grand! It arrived safely, no bits missing or anything like that and was a doddle to put together. As with most new systems everything is pretty much numpty proof, the pink ended wire to the pink hole, green to green, etc. The computer case is a nice shiny white and silver, it came with a 17" flatscreen monitor, keyboard, mouse and separate speakers. The case has five spare usb ports on the back and two on the front so you can plug in pretty much your entire artillery of electronic paraphernalia such as printers, scanner, camera...

Review of Dell Dimension 5150

Help! Help me SuperDell!

Advantages: Excellent value for money, Dell reliability
Disadvantages: No AGP port, too little HD space and RAM

.... In typical Dell fashion, a big splash advertisement on their front page announced the Dimension 3000, together with a 17" TFT monitor, on offer for £461. It was a tough choice - as a student, and with my life divided between university, my Mother in Surrey and my Dad in Zurich, a laptop would have been the obvious choice. I had some decisions to make - how much did I value, and actually make use of, the laptop's portability? How many times over the previous four years had I pulled out my hair out in frustration at the limitations imposed by a laptop in terms of processing power, RAM, hard drive space and all the rest? The desktop won through sheer value for money. As with all Dells, they're highly customisable. The 3000s are offered with a choice of two processors - 3.0GHz or 3.2GHz Pentium 4s (800MHz FSB, 1MB L2 cache), as much RAM...

Dell Dimension 3100 PC

Advantages: Fast, reliable, easy to use
Disadvantages: Good software costs extra

...Being a Dell computer, obviously there will be slight variations in what you want to, or can buy depending on the offers available at the time. I?d recommend that if you choose to buy from Dell, check out their website, and if there?s a really good offer on go for it! They don?t last that long, and if there?s something you want that?s going cheaper than normal, don?t wait around! So you know exactly what I am reviewing, this is the specification of my computer: Intel Pentium 4 Processor (3GHz, 1MB Cache) 1GB (2x512MB 533MHz) DDR2 RAM 160 GB Serial ATA Hard Drive (7200rpm) 16x DVD+/-RW 17? E177FP Flat Panel Monitor Integrated Intel Media Accelerator 900 VGA graphics card Integrated 2.0 Channel High Def Audio sound card 6 USB 2.0 ports Windows XP Media Centre 2005 Onto the review, then: I bought this PC for the start...
