The good: Updated appearance; removable side panel provides easy access to case interior; quiet operation.

The bad: Dual-core CPU not an option; no FireWire ports; limited graphics-card options; too little storage for a media PC; stingy standard support.

The bottom line: Dell's mainstream Dimension E510 looks good from the outside, but surprisingly limited configuration options dampen our enthusiasm.

Specs: Processor: Intel Pentium 4 630 (3.0 GHz); RAM installed: 512 MB DDR2 SDRAM; Hard drive: 80 GB Standard  See full specs >>
