Consumer review by:

An all purpose desktop from Dell for business use.

 

This PC is a very good value for the money. You can get 4gb of ram, a decent video card, and more straight from Dell when you order it. It may not seem customizable, but in fact I replaced the power supply and video card (620W PSU and GTX 460 1GB SC)...

Comes with 800 mhz DDR2 memory and supports up to 4 GB. Also, supports a wide variety of LGA 775 processors and PCI, AGP, and PCI-E x16 graphics cards. It also has a PCI-E x1 slot. Small form factor (Mini) but not too small to work in

The small form factor doesn't support ATX , EATX, etc. motherboards, however, mATX is fairly common. Also, there is just one PCI-E x16 slot (not a big deal). My biggest "gripe" would be that the AGP slot is in the top position instead of the PCI-Ex16
