Dell Dimension E521 Desktop Computer Review

This was the first time for my husband and I to make a large purchase via the internet.  I have not been disappointed at all with our Dell computer.  The basic package included the tower, keyboard, mouse, very basic software, CD-Rom etc.  We upgraded quite a few things: got a 17 inch flatscreen, an extra CD drive, speakers, additional RAM, and the newest Microsoft Office version including Publisher.  It did up the price several hundred dollars; but I can honestly say after pricing this same type of computer at various local stores, we easily saved $500+ by ordering Dell.  It is very easy to "build" online and customize to what you want, and we received it in record time. 

Vista hasn't been a problem for us, but it did take some time figuring out  how to get around with it.  And I have 100% loved the Microsoft Office Suite.  All in all, a wonderful investment and worth every penny.
