Dell Optiplex GX1P 500

Dell Optiplex GX1P 500

WHAT'S HOT: The GX1P 500's PC WorldBench 98 score of 284 is above average for PIII-500 systems running Windows NT. The system comes well equipped for corporate use: It has an easy-open case (with security features like a padlock loop and an open-case alert switch), six open slots, two open drive bays, and a network card. Dell maintains 24-hour technical support, and its service, though not perfect, ranks among the best in the industry. Participants in our most recent survey gave the company Outstanding marks for reliability.

WHAT'S NOT: The 17-inch Dell 1028L monitor isn't the best we've seen. The display we evaluated suffered from dark images and slightly fuzzy text. And though the case is easy to open (thanks to a small button that releases a latch inside the case), nudging it back closed so that the latch engages properly can be rather difficult.

WHAT ELSE: This OptiPlex offers plenty of storage, with a 20GB hard drive and an Iomega Zip drive. Color-coded ports and detailed manuals make setup painless. The system uses PCI graphics rather than the more cutting-edge AGP.

BEST USE: Busy IS staffers will appreciate this easy-to-maintain corporate PC.
