Dell Desktop Computers - Inspiron and XPS
For many years now Dell has been the leader at driving the latest PC technology to new low prices. Dell Computers sells more PC's than anyone - at their online store and at "brick-and-mortar" stores everywhere. Their package deals - that include the PC and monitor - are usually among the best available at any given time. Look here for the current best offers on Dell PC's and be pretty sure that you're getting a high-quality machine from a reputable company.
Current Dell desktop computer models for the home are the Inspiron, Inspiron Performance and XPS. For most of us, the capabilities of the standard Inspiron will be good enough. They're the lowest-priced option from Dell, but still can be configured to have all the power and storage that you need (they also have a "slim" option that will minimize the space it takes on your desk). The Inspiron Performance desktops start with a bit more punch in terms of power. They're perfect for anyone interested in playing with various multimedia applications.
The XPS series are designed for the requirements of the latest computer games. Games are often the most "processor-intensive" applications for PC's, so the XPS models are designed to be ready for whatever the newest games throw at them. And the top-of-the-line XPS models come in a more "extreme" style of box design, to appeal to the hardcore gamer crowd.
