8400 Media Center Edition: Functionally Amazing but not Glamorous

Author's Rating: 5/5 stars

Pros: It can be obtained for a very reasonable price with an amazing array of features.

Cons: It's not pretty, front USB ports are awkward and it can be a bit loud.

Bottom Line:
I highly recommend the Dell Dimension 8400. It's full of options that will help it last as long as the 4 year warranty, and all for a great price. Read More

Great computer but at what price?

Author's Rating: 2/5 stars

Pros: Fast and very quiet PC. Easy to set up. Great graphics and gaming PC.

Cons: Don't pay for the tech support that you will not be able to use.

Bottom Line:
PCs are not that different anymore. Dell’s prices are higher than others and advertises customer support to justify the cost. Dell no longer has the excellent support. Therefore shop elsewhere. Read More
