With its AMD Athlon 64 X2 4600+ processor, the Dell Dimension C521 offers a good mix of value, features, and performance. It comes in a relatively svelte case and would be attractive to media-savvy users who don’t want to pay $3,000 for a high-end workstation-class desktop. At this level, those users can do the occasional “once every other month” multimedia project easily and without too much fuss. The C521 even has the room and burning capabilities to keep TV addicts happy—at least, the ones who concentrate on only a couple of shows a week.

Review By Pcmag

Housed in a compact BTX case that’s just a smidge larger than that of the XPS 200, the Dimension C521 is a relatively small desktop. The slight increase in size is a result of its greater functionality; it has space for three half-height expansion cards (one PCIe x16, one PCIe x1, and one regular PCI) and uses a desktop-size optical bay, while the XPS 200 has only two slots (one PCIe X16 and one PCIe X1) and uses a notebook-class optical drive. The full-sized optical drive bay in the C521 is also a boon for those thinking about upgrading to a third-party Blu-ray or HD-DVD drive in the future, though you’ll have to swap out the existing dual-layer DVD burner for the new drive.
