Dell Dimension XPS T450
Dell Dimension XPS T450
WHAT'S HOT: For an affordable Pentium III-450based PC, the $1419 XPS T450 packs a wallop. Dell includes such top-end components as a Diamond Viper NVidia TNT graphics board with 16MB of SDRAM and a Yamaha audio board. And if you want to add more equipment, rest assured: The well-organized interior provides space for all manner of devices, thanks to four free expansion slots and four open drive bays. Finally, the XPS T450's color-coded cables make connecting peripherals easy.
WHAT'S NOT: Images on the 17-inch Dell M780 monitor look a tad fuzzy. Belying its name, the Dell QuietKey keyboard that accompanied our test system clacked when we typed.
WHAT ELSE: The bundled Harman/Kardon HK195 speakers yield decent audio, though we've heard fuller and richer sound from a number of Altec Lansing models. The XPS T450's software bundle includes Microsoft Office Small Business Edition and Microsoft Streets Plus. Well-written manuals carry many helpful illustrations, and if you need more assistance, Dell's technical help line offers good support. One nice touch inside: A ventilation hood over the CPU shunts excess heat from the processor directly out the computer's back panel.
BEST USE: The Dimension XPS T450 will thrive in small businesses, especially those without an IS staff (for such companies, service and support are critical).
