    It has a Pentium 4 CPU 2.8GHz which is kind of cool. The hdd is 80GB Hitachi that has SATA 1.5GB cable which isn't too bad at all for it's age.

    To remove the floppy drive you need a stub phillips screw driver - there is only 2" clearance for screw driver.

    The side panel has a cheap mechanical lever that unlocks the side panel so it can slide off. The one I have jammed and I couldn't remove the side panel. I finally got it off with a pry bar. Afterwards, I removed the lever and put two screws to hold the side panel.

    The PSU is 250W which is good enough for what is in there. It was made in China so I don't know how long it will last.

    I haven't got to turn it on yet because the Pentium 4 bracket had broken and I am waiting for a replacement from an online store. The bracket is too brittle as it is made of cheap thermoplastic. A computer shop in Morehead City NC really screwed it up. The fan and heatsink was hanging loose in the case and when turned on, it would start to power up then turn off. I think the aluminum heatsink was touching the mobo.

    Not sure what people mean by "power programmer" or "real computer", but I've been developing C++ and Visual Basic applications on the 3000 along with analog and digital circuit development. It runs the related packages and tools with no problem in terms of graphics and speed of operation. I've watched movies and recorded audio also. So this, often maligned little box has worked just fine for me! I bought it 6 years ago and the only upgrade was memory.

    if all you want to do is surf and paperwork or fill a skip, then the Dell Dimension 3000 fine
    if you want a computer then buy a real one.

    Good for just the ordinary, go play a few low spec games internet and email could do with maybe being upgraded with a higher spec motherboard and Gpus and Cpu.

    The Dell Dimension 3000 is a great PC for home use and basic tasks, but that's about all.
    Not enough on board memory to multi task.
    Would benefit from RAM upgrade and DVDR/W Drive.

    A good PC for a beginner, not really for professional use, or people into computers and technology. It's a little too basic, that's the main problem.

    I couldn't get any support for the software on my Dell Dimension 3000 computer. Dell only give support for the machine and not the software.

    Here's a tip... Try Aria Technology for Dell Dimension 3000 PC spares if you have exceeded the warranty time. They are fast and cheap.

    My old 1997 PC can't cope with the modern world. So I ordered a Dell Dimension 3000 17" CRT, with minimum warranty, free delivery and £50 off, for a mere £241. I bargain if there ever is one.

    The computer was delivered on time. It is a good build quality, the keyboard is child proof. Stick with a CRT and upgrade later. Software includes Windows XP. Sonic DVD burner and a host of ISP and 90 day trial software.
    The computer defaults to the USA, so this will have a financial ...
