Dell Inspiron 530 Desktop Computer Reviews

We purchased out Dell this past summer.  It does a great job.  I am able to do every thing from home that I do in the office.  I can bring work home and do it in the evenings or on week-ends.  I enjoy being able to do my work, and not have to travel to the office.

We have Sudden Link internet service.  We purchased Microsoft Office with Word.

I continued to use it (colleege student = no money), but the crack just got worse and spread. Eventually 1/4 of the screen was covered in this odd broken pixellation...

My wife's pc was rather old, and I couldn't upgrade it without replacing the motherboard and processor. I had decided to build a new system for her (for the third time). I'd spec'ed out all the hardware needed, and found the cost to be almost $1200 (quad core processor, 250Gb hard drive, 2Gb RAM, Windows XP). I decided that I'd check out Dell's site and see what they had to offer. I found the Inspiron 530 minitower (quad core processor, 500Gb hard drive, 3Gb Ram, 19" widescreen monitor, Windows XP with the Vista license) for $799. I could not pass that up. The total cost was $849, and shipping...
