Dell Dimension E510 desktop computer Review Summary

Dell has long been to computer of choice for those looking for an affordable yet reliable and powerful computer and the Dell Dimension E510 tower computer seems to fit that milepost and our community of savvy reviewers mostly agrees. While a couple of reviewers had issues with their Dimension E510’s, the overwhelming sentiment fell along these lines: “I can safely say every penny I spent on this machine was worth it.” Dell built the Dimension E510 around the Intel Pentium 4 processor @ 2.8GHz, and Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition, up to 4.0GB of DDR2 RAM, DVD-ROM drive, wired NIC. And the Dimension E510 is equipped a SATA hard drive with space for an additional drive, and two external 5.25” drive bays. Our reviewers passionately recommend this affordable full tower computer with the new BTX desktop design. Read what else our reviews have to say about the Dimension E510, as well as the Dell Dimension C521.

As 2005 came to a close, it became obvious my 300MHz, almost 8 year old computer wasn't going to hack it anymore.  It had served me admirably throughout college and for the first 3 1/2 years after, but I was tired.  Tired of waiting for it to boot up, tired of waiting for my dial up… read full review »

I was really excited to buy a new computer to start college just after my high school graduation.  I looked around and found that dell was the cheapest and seemed to have the same perks as all the others.  I purchased it and was very pleased with the performance for about 6 months. … read full review »

Hello, People; — This PC is a modest version of something cheap. The power is enough to squeeze is just enough to start the PC up and open the email with the Internet explorer. The problems with today's programs are far beyond out fixing abilities. More programs are made to suck the powers out of the computers leaving us little room to do our work. In this E510 version, highest RAM is 4 GB which is very good. From what I have seen on the picture, there are two hard drives in the tower. Therefore, it would make it easier to transfer the files from one HD to the next. Two CDs or two DVDs… read full review »

I like my PC. I have had this desktop for over 2 years and have never had a problem at all with it. it is a little slow at times but has plenty of storage for my everyday use. I use it for email, internet, pictures and music. I have upgraded my monitor and overall have been very happy. at times i wish i would have chosen a laptop for the mobility but overall great buy!… read full review »

Dell has been very good to me! As an Older person I really appreciate the patience they have when I call with a problem They get me back on line fast! I have needed them quite a few times and they were good about walking me through the steps. I would buy a Dell again. This is my second one so… read full review »

Bottom-Line: The Dimension E510 Media Center Mini-tower is powerful home workstation that is more then adequate for Media Center duties, but also serves well as a small business server platform.  — And so it happened; my ever slowing Pentium III based server finally died on me, and it was not a graceful death.  When she died she took two hard drives with her.  And so I needed to replace the server, my applications server, with a new box, but this time I decided not to go the built-it-myself route, but go in a different direction.  Lucky for me my company receives a… read full review »

I purchased this computer in August 2007, and it has been absolutely wonderful. I wasn't thrilled with the fact that it came with Vista, and contemplated downgrading to XP, but kept it. I've had no issues, and had fantastic performance. It does take some maintenance to keep it running top notch and virus free, but any computer does. I think a lot of people don't take proper care of their equipment and then blame the manufacturer. I also have a Dell laptop, that's still running strong after nearly 5 years. For me Dell is the only way to go. … read full review »

I got this Dimension Desktop for work and I have thoroughly enjoyed it.  The quality of the product and its performance are great.  I work in computer-aided design for an engineering firm, so I use all of the power of the PC.  It performs great and can handle many applications at one time.  Thank you Dell for making a reliable and a wonderfully fast product such as… read full review »

A very good overall computer. Having a TV tuner in the computer is pretty cool, you can watch TV on the computer and media center lets you schedule and record shows, just like having a DVR but without any monthly fees. The only real problem I had was a memory board went bad after about 18 months of use, Dell replaced it free under the warranty. still going strong after almost 2… read full review »

Dells are one of the cheapest computers available and you get what you pay for. Dell has consistantly had bad tech support and it has not gotten any better over the years. If you want a cheap throw away computer that won't last long and you have to purchase Dell parts, then this is the computer for you. Otherwise go with another… read full review »

I think for the price of this computer out there it is one of the best on the market. I had a newer apple and I thought that was nice until I used on of these @ a friends house. I went out & replaced my apple within a week with this system. It's easy to use & customer service with Dell so far has been exemplary.… read full review »
