Bad Points
Cooling fan makes a lot of noise
General Comments
I have recently purchased a new Dell Dimension 8300 and I am amazed just how good it is. I chose a few extras like a large digital flat screen, 1Meg of memory and top of the range sound and graphics. Apart from a rather noisey cooling fan, I cannot fault this machine. At under two grand for the lot, it really does represent fantastic value for money and even when working whith very intensive graphics programs, it performs like a flying machine. Definitly recommend it.
On average, people found this review very helpful

I agree mate the DELLS are amazing, most people disagree. BUT i must say this, i bought a suped up 4600 and packed that baby to just under 8300's specs and i only had to pay 1000 for mine, so as i agree that Dells are VERY VERY good machines, i think ya overpaid on yours mate
