Dell Dimension C521 Review

by Richard Baguley

- The Dell Dimension C521 sacrifices some expansion room to keep its case skinnier than a typical midsize tower PC. Even so, the $729 (as of November 6, 2006) C521 is a good choice if you seek a space-conscious, low-cost system that retains some expansion options.

User Reviews for Dell Dimension C521

Reviewed by: pdhamblin

Duration of ownership: 11 Months

Strengths: Solid PC, small, 17" monitor sits nicely on my desk and is easy to adjust as needed. Quiet CPU, easy to open case. USB ports on front are easily accessible.

Weaknesses: No real expansion bays, case can be noisy if not closed up properly, especially during burning a CD\DVD. DELL support, morons.

Overall Evaluation: Overall I would call this a great machine, I work in the IT industry and it has never failed me. I like the ease of access to USB ports for my flash drives. I have mine at 4GB of RAM, so it really scoots when I need it to, I highly reccomend the RAM upgrade. Worth every penny.
