Dell Studio MT
This off-the-shelf version of the Dell Studio Desktop reminds us of a classic Dell computer. This system is faster and better equipped than its competition, and at a better price. You can certainly get away with a cheaper everyday PC, but this one is a bargain among lower midrange desktops.
Specs: Intel Core 2 Quad Q8200 (2.33 GHz), 2.33 GHz, 6 GB DDR2 SDRAM, 750 GB Standard, ATI Radeon HD 3450, Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium Edition SP1, 64-Bit, Personal computer

Dell Studio Desktop
Dell's new Studio Desktop introduces 64-bit Windows Vista to the Dell desktop line-up, but that's about the only thing this system does well. Its biggest, and deal-killing, fault is the overpriced and less than aggressive selection of configuration options.

Dell Inspiron 518
Dell's Inspiron 518 is the latest in a long line of utilitarian, midrange Windows PCs. We wish Dell offered a bit more flexibility with its configuration, as well as a 64-bit Windows option, but for a straightforward PC, this is one of the more powerful systems for the dollar.
Specs: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 (2.4 GHz), 2.4 GHz, 2 GB DDR II SDRAM, 320 GB Standard, ATI Radeon HD 3450, Vista Home Premium, Personal computer
