Bad Points

The system doesn't come with wireless LAN as standard.
A 80Gb hard drive is quite small by today's standards (there is a spare 3.25" enclosure inside for a second drive though).
The thin profile case means that the PCI slots are shorter than usual which means special PCI cards are required (although I just bought a normal one and bent the extra metal over - well it works!).


General Comments

This is Dell's budget desktop computer where you get a 17" TFT monitor and system that includes an Intel Celeron 3.2GHz processor, 80Gb Hard drive, 1024Mb RAM, DVD-RW drive for £360. This is all tucked in a very smart looking thin profile case.
The monitor is crisp and quick to refresh as all Dell monitors are. The computer is quite (in fact unless the DVD drive is working it is eerily quiet) and everything works excellently. I have had no problems with hardware or software. On the back it has TV-Out, 4 USB, 2 line-out and 1 line-in. On the front it as 2 USB and 1 line out. If you want a good lokking, well stocked computer for day to day use, internet, multimedia and general gaming this is unbeatable.
As always Dell's customer service is very good too.
