Dell’s Dimension line of desktop computers used to have a wide variety of model numbers available for people to choose from. Recently they have decided to compact that down to just a few models. The Dimension E520 is the main offering and can be found in a wide range of configurations from low cost to high performance. Find out what Dell has to offer in their budget configuration of their latest desktop PC.

Review By Products.howstuffworks

Hard drive space starts out at a respectable 160GB on a 7,200rpm drive with these desktop computers for business users. You can beef up the storage to 250GB for a reasonable $40. Another option for users concerned about data loss is Dell’s DataSafe drives. This setup features twin drives in a RAID backup configuration, automatically saving a copy of any new file created. This keeps a mirror of your data available in the event of a hard drive crash or even an accidental file deletion. The 160GB DataSafe configuration is $80 over the baseline price.

Review By Ecoustics

For the higher price, you get above-average components–including a 200GB hard drive and dual optical drives (a dual-layer DVD burner and a DVD-ROM drive)–and reasonable performance. The system contains a 1.86-GHz Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 processor and 1GB of RAM, and it achieved a respectable WorldBench 5 score of 105. That’s well above the average mark posted in our roundup of cheap PCs, but it’s 29 percent lower than the 148 turned in by the Micro Express MicroFlex 66B.
