"Nice system, small size, works well."
Pros: Small case, works well, very nice home and small office PC
Cons: Limited internal expansion.
Summary: I purchased two of these, one for my office and one for home (XP Pro and Media Center). Dell delivered fast; ordered on Monday, at my door on Thursday.
This is not a high end gaming system. If you do office tasks, Internet, enjoy music and watching DVD's, and playing most games, this is a great system. It is fast and fits both my home and office needs. I've had multiple programs running (PowerPoint, Word, Outlook, browser, and MusicMatch in addition to all the background stuff) with no noticable drop in performance.
I'm not really impressed with Media Center Edition, but it works.
I went with the 2G RAM and the 256M video card-well worth the upgrade. The fans are quite and the system runs cool.
The other reviews point out the most serious downside-you only have 2 PCI slots (one if you use a video card). The remaining slot is half-height. I use a lot of USB devices, so this is not a concern for me.
