Dell Dimension 4100

I purchased a Dell 4100 series in October 2000, and at that time, PC technology was up to Intel 1GHz and RDRAM, and I was keen to purchase a state of the art PC but not the most expensive one, and from a reputable company. Are Dell any good? Of course, Dell are in my opinion is the top PC manufacturer for mid-top range professional multimedia PCs. Overall, Dell offers tremendous value, with the latest components, which you have a limited choice in configuring as well as excellent support. Configure your PC The Dell website is magnificent, it has all the info you need about the PC, much better than its rivals and not only can you configure the ...  Read the complete review

Since first writing my opinion of the Dell Dimension 4100, I've given it a lot more thought and decided to rewrite it. In my initial opinion, I didn't go into the specs of it. Because of Dell's configure and buy option, no two are necessarily alike. So I'm going to tell you what I got for my money. For £1142 I got: 4100 MT 1000 815E PIII Mini Tower 3.5" Floppy Drive - Dimension UK Slimline Keyboard Euro Currency Dell V90 56K Data/Fax/Voice Modem My PC Info UK (I find this feature very useful.)

I finally decided to purchase my own home PC and for no other reason than we use Dell at work, plonked for the Dimension 4100. I placed my order through their internet site on a Sunday evening. Their phone based order checking service told me that the unit had been shipped the following Wednesday. I then had a call saying that the PC would be delivered on Good Friday - not bad - most companies avoid delivery commitments on bank holidays. So, four working days between order and receipt. Off to a good start. The PC arrived in three boxes. I have had a lot of experience with PC's so the setup was simple for me. The documentation supplied with the ...  Read the complete review

I work for a development office where we rely heavily on fast powerful PC's to give us the best possible performance for our money. This is why we use the Optiplex Series form Dell. I have one of the slower machines in the Department (GX1A) but even that packs a powerful punch. Anything less than 128MB of ram is useless for Development and mine has been uprated to 256 but that is the only change made form new. It carries on board sound and video which are of excellent quality for such a machine. Being a Dell, It offers excellent reliability and service support from their network engineers should anything ever go wrong. I have installed ...  Read the complete review

I am a Software Engineering student. I am quite a bit into programming and graphics design, so I really needed a powerfull PC. I looked around everywhere. I searched for a best deal PC + good quality. I was unsuccessfull. Most of the PC's I looked at, where either too expensive and if the price was right, the quality went down quite a bit. So I was looking for something within my price range, which was of very high quality, backed up by good name. Then I came across Dell. I personally think, after doing 3 months of research, that I got a very good deal from Dell. I got a 1 GHz Pentium III, 256 mb RAM, 40 gb Hard drive, 32MB nVidea Graphics card, Creative ...  Read the complete review
