Excellent – I bought this computer from the dell kiosk in Westfield Parramatta about a month ago and so far I have been very impressed with it. It performs tasks quite quickly,has a very nice 19 inch flat screen monitor and came with a free upgrade in power.

just a shade over $1000.00 for the whole unit and for a technician to come and assemble it and give me 1 hour's tuition on it. Speed in performing functions,simplicity in use.
Good – Overall a pretty standard midi-tower for a decent price.

letting in too much dust.

The DVD burner and software works really… Read more
well and is very reliable. The size is a litle big compared to other computers that have the same capacity. As long as you have a big enough desk to hide the tower it wouldn't be a problem.

if you are into it, work for business, or use it for the various purposes the owner should use it for. It is also used by many of my friends who find in different shops that it is quite cheap with all the accessories that the computer provides, it doesn't lag unless you place too much within the memory capacity.
