Dell Desktop Computer
I actually have an older Dell Inspiron E521, but I've been pretty happy with mine. I've added extra RAM without any difficuly and have not had any hardware failures. The only draw backs I've experienced is that the antivirus that comes with it is very in effective (in my opinion), so I download the free AVG and it's been fine. Technical support is outsourced, but they still do a pretty good job. It's only free for the first year though, then I think it's about .00 a pop. John Crippen,

Motherboard failed after 6 months
Mine was a complete piece of junk. I bought it in April 2008 from Dell specifically because they were still offering Windows XP. However, the system's motherboard failed after 6 months. Dell sent a replacement computer, but the new system was Vista OS. I'm still trying to get it sorted out. I'll never order from Dell again.

The Worst Computer I Have Ever Owned
Inspiron 530 runs fine sometimes, other times it just reboots in the middle of working. Memory configuration not showing up right in Windows but memory test are all okay. Dell has refused to honor their warranty and will not send a replacement. I've spent over 20+ hours re-installing Windows and all my applications, music, photos, etc - per their tech support's request - and still it crashes. Then they told me that should remove the memory cards each and every time the system reboots - in order to release the static.
