Manufacturer description
The Dimension 4600C's space-saving chassis and Flat Panel display are perfect for small spaces with no constraints on power. Intel Pentium 4 processors with Hyper-Threading Technology and easily expandable memory keep you up to speed. Essential video and audio options and flexible drive bays, plus easy connectivity and multiple I/O ports for peripherals, all fit into this small design for the latest in multimedia and high productivity.Product summary
The good: Small footprint; strong performance; PC Card slots provide additional expandability.
The bad: Compact case accommodates only half-height cards; graphics card is a few generations old; no FM radio; case design lacks style.
The bottom line: Dell’s first Media Center PC offers good midrange performance and features, but it’s saddled with a boring Dimension case.

Computer hacker redefined
Pros: Obviously, nice and compact. 3.0 Ghz cpu combined with 1 gb of ram speeds things along nicely.
Cons: I bought this pc purely for my flight sims, most of which (especially LOMAC) are very demanding on hardware to say the least. The 64 mb Nvidia Geforce 4 card wasn't quite up to the challenge, and needed to come out. I wasn't about to be forced into settli

Dell Sucks Monkey Ass
Pros: None
Cons: This has been THE most god-awful experience in my life. First you get a high-pressure salesperson on the phone that would do any car dealer proud! I was trying to order by phone because my old computer got zapped by lightening, finally gave up and went

Very Nice Equipment for the Money
Pros: Compact, fairly fast, 8 USB's...I'm happy with it for around $1000.
Cons: Dell has lost the personal touch that got them where they are. If you're not self-sufficient with your PC Dell might not be the best choice...but then with all the off-shoring going on- there is no winning the support battle. XP Media Center requires al

Fair price for a good computer
Pros: Compact sign, save me a lot space. P4 2.8 CPU is fast. It comes with 512 MB DDR Memory and a large hard drive 120GB. 8 USB ports, (6 back 2 front)
Cons: Little space to expand and upgrade. You have to buy external hardware, such as hard drive,CDRW drive and DVDR drive. No wonder it has 8 USB ports. Overall, it is a good computer for the price.

Covers all the bases
Pros: Fast, compact, flexible. This PC exceeds all of our expectations - we're especially space conscious, making the 4600C an ideal choice. Have had no problems with support, and the delivery time was less than half of what they promised. Pricing's fabulous
Cons:

Dell support is the worst
Pros: The speed of the PC is very quick.
Cons: I did not order a multimedia card to copy my digital camera. I called their sales and technical support. Spoke to 5 people and was recommended 5 different parts. When the parts came, they were not for a 4600C. They have no clue what part I need even t

the customer support is the worst
Pros: a good computer, fast,
Cons: Don't even bother trying to deal with the idiots in customer support. Find another company to deal with, fast!! The most frustrating experience I can remember and all I was trying to do was schedule a pickup for a monitor exchange.
