I worked on systems just like that over the summer. I'd strongly suggest not getting one. Their build quality is horrible and many of the ones I got had problems right out of the box. Some as minor as a loose screw inside, and others as major as a dead hard drive that prevented the system from completeting POST(no fans, video or anything until the drive was removed)

Ive heard of alot of problems with them, be very cautious if u decide too get it. overall Dells can be fine computers.

I had to deal with those darn things over the summer. I beg to differ

Older ones weren't bad, but new ones...no way.
