    "Great everyday machine"

    by cryandavis on March 21, 2009

    Pros: Very affordable (in Dell Outlet even more so).

    Cons: Blue power LED is incredibly bright.
    Only one PCI slot.

    Summary: Have two of these machines, both with Vista64. Vista Media Center works fine as a DVR using just integrated graphics and a Hauppauge HVR-1250, very quiet. Mine has one PCI Express X1 (which I'm using for the tuner) and one PCI Express X16 slot, despite what the website specs say. So you can add a better graphics card later if you want. Mine came with a modem which I replaced with a PCI wireless network card, but since there's only one PCI slot you can't have both.
