Dell Dimension 4400 Review

by Joel Strauch

- WHAT'S HOT: The Dell Dimension 4400 we tested features the same sleek black-and-gray case design that the company uses for its higher-end Dimension 8200 line. The chassis' design and features are great finds in a value business system (value systems are often no-frills beige boxes). It has a nifty flip-up cover on the front that conceals two USB ports and a headphone jack, and it comes with a metal double-loop case lock on the rear to keep outsiders from tampering with internal components. The case folds open like an Apple Power Mac, providing clear access to the interior components--all of which can be inserted and removed without using tools. Bright green plastic tabs and covers indicate which components can be easily popped out. The slot cover snaps off for access to the three open PCI slots, and you can install rails (which are included) that allow you to easily slide drives in and out of the available bays (our test system had two open removable-media drive bays and one open internal bay).
