Dell Dimension 8400 is the best deal in high-end desktop computers.

by jvandegr Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Jan 31 '05
Pros: Very fast, reliable, good customer support, reasonable selection of components.
Cons: Nothing significant found so far.
Introduction I'm reviewing my Dell Dimension 8400, which is my third personal computer from Dell. I sold my first Dimension to a friend for half its purchase price when it was three years old. That was four years ago and it's still running. ...

8400 Media Center Edition: Functionally Amazing but not Glamorous

by montognese , Mar 28 '05
Pros: It can be obtained for a very reasonable price with an amazing array of features.
Cons: It's not pretty, front USB ports are awkward and it can be a bit loud.
I received a great coupon from Tech Bargains for 40% off a Dell PC priced over $2,000. So I went to Dell's website and built a Dell Dimension 8400 with Microsoft Windows® XP Media Center 2005 Edition and my dream hardware: Pentium® 4 Processor 550 with ...

Pros: Powerful, smooth performance, VERY quiet to run
Cons: Waiting a week to get it

Reliability meets Speed
by hahmad18 ,Feb 14 '06
Pros: Great speed and hard drive capability.
Cons: Customer service. Price
Dell PCs may not have the best customer support, but the reason for this might be because they do not need it that often. This Dell Desktop has performed well for several years, not having any serious problems to it. The addition of some RAM memory makes the speeds even better, allowing you to run several programs at one time. With a 3.0 Ghz processor, this desktop is great for a wide range of functions, from gaming to movie watching. The hard drive space allows you to store a good deal of information, music, movies, and pictures. An overall good buy.

Dell Dimension 8400 (horrible customer service/cheap quality)
by zzzcutomer ,Jun 22 '06
Pros: good performance(when it works)
Cons: absolutely the worst warranty, customer service and support that I've ever experienced
Owned this system for approx 16 months and the motherboard and hard drive went bad. Dell attempted to diagnose and only made my computer worse. They refused to help "restore" my computer to the condition it was before they worsened (i.e. ruined) it. Normally, you would expect any business or consumer to be responsible for the damage they caused, but apparently this doesn't apply to Dell. I will never never never buy another Dell.

by zift ,Dec 15 '04
Pros: Fast quiet system, great value, up to date & beyond, handles any game
Cons: Non so far
I purchased my 8400 series with the a 2 year warranty. Received it a week ago, I'll tell you it's very fast had a Dell 4100 before paid alot more for it then was time to upgrade. My Specs is 3.2 gHz (800 mb FSB)pentium 4, 512 MB (400 mHz) RAM, 128 MB X300 SE video card, Sony CD-RW drive, 80gb sata hard disk.It came with integrated 5.1 channel sound witch I replaced with sound blaster live 5.1 dolby card that I have. Got a good deal on it thru Dell business, paid only $525, this is a brand new system with a 2 years warranty.The motherboard also has the ability to adopt PCIexpress...the port that will be the future of expandability.

Dell Hell
by pastor_john ,Jul 14 '05
Pros: The computer color matches my carpet.
Cons: Customer service is the worst. Located in India and language barrier is unbelievable.
This is the worst computer I have ever had. It is less than 6 months old and it has crashed. Let me give you a warning before you contact Dell customer service. It is located in India and when you speak to a tech it is like talking to a 5 year old. I have had 3 different techs come out to fix my computer and a fourth one will be out tomorrow. The problem with the techs is they only replace the hardware and cannot wait until you load the operating system disks to see if your Dell will actually work. I think they know that the computer will not work and they try to get out of your house as soon as possible.
