Dell Inspiron 530 (DDDADG4_3) PC Desktop

Pros: Very powerful PC at an unbeatable deal. Sturdy and easy to upgrade.
Cons: No onboard Firewire. Flimsy front bezel.

I would consider myself a very experienced and technically knowledgeable PC user. I bought this machine because I wanted a desktop for college, and I also needed to replace my older gaming PC. However, I chose this one in particular because the price was ...

Pros: big clear screen, great for gaming, good processor, low power mode
Cons: occasional blue screen (not really a big deal)

I bought this for Christmas in 2008, and so far it's been pretty good. Windows Vista is amazing, first of all. very convenient. monitor is big and very clear. also low power mode saves me lots of $$$. would get the insurance on it, a few times it has gone to a blue screen on me.. i just restart it and its fine, but i'm sure something will happen and i'll need it fixed. other than that, a pretty decent computer for the money.
