Comments on: Get a Dell dual-core desktop for $299

Though a graphics lightweight, the Dell Inspiron 530s comes with enough horsepower to handle mainstream computing chores.

More often than not, you can also find a very comparable system in the Dell Outlet for $30 to $40 less. This is the route I took, and could not be happier. Spend that saved cash on a low-profile graphics card from Newegg and you have yourself a respectable multitasking machine for just over $300, shipped! BTW, this column is awesome.

"Grade-level students" beware. It's got Vista OS. Your friends will think you're as cool as a Zune.
