    Dell.ca: Vostro 220 Desktop PCs w/Intel C2D E7300, 2GB RAM, 250GB HD, Vista $399

    Looking for a good bargain on a well rounded desktop PC? Dell.ca has some candidates in the form of Vostro 220 PCs equipped with Intel Core 2 Duo 2.66GHz E7300 Processors, 2GB RAM, 250GB hard drives, and Vista Basic for $399. You can choose from a standard case design with the Vostro 220, or a silm case design with the Vostro 220s. With a slim case design, expansion cards (such as discrete video cards) will need to be of the low profile variety. The configurations are identical otherwise. Full specs can be seen below.

    Vostro 220 with Core 2 Duo E7300 $399
    Vostro 220s (slim) with Core 2 Duo E7300 $399
    • Windows Vista Home Basic, Service Pack 1
    • Intel Core 2 Duo Proc E7300 (2.66GHz, 3M, L2Cache, 1066FSB) (manually selected)
    • 2GB Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM 800MHz - 2DIMMs
    • 1 Year Basic Limited Warranty and 1 Year NBD Onsite Service
    • 250GB Serial ATA Hard Drive (7200RPM) w/DataBurst Cacheā„¢
    • Integrated 5.1 Channel Audio
    • Integrated Video, IntelĀ® GMA X4500HD
    • Single Drive: 16X (DVD+/-RW) Burner Drive Data Only
    The E7300 isn't too far behind the venerable E8400 processor (2.66GHz vs 3GHz and 3MB cache instead of 6). It's a good mix between price and performance. Other upgrades to consider include the 256MB ATI Radeon HD 3450 (DVI+HDMI) for $70, Microsoft Works 9 for $0, or Microsoft Works Plus 2008 for $30. Shipping is free and it comes with the standard Vostro 30 day no hassle return policy (no return shipping, no restock fees). This is a pretty powerful computer at a very reasonable price.

    If you're looking for a monitor to pair up with the system, Dell currently has the S2409W 24" Full HD Monitor (1920x1080, HDMI input) on sale for $319.99.

Corrections: The title says E7200 but should actually read E7300.  And the slim model is actually the 220s not the 22s…

More importantly though, note that you can in fact upgrade these systems to the “venerable E8400” for another 60$.  A very worthwhile upgrade IMHO.

And if you’re wondering what the practical difference is between the two form-factors (other than the slim sleak look); the slim machine only accepts “low-profile” exapansian cards and has a 250W power supply vs a 300W in the 220 model.  So, if you’re looking to add a good graphics card or generally want room to upgrade, go with the non-slim 220 model.

As Dell has the WORST service in the industry(was on call several hours, with India, US and Central America, and when they do understand what I say, I am transfered to another rep, and so on… And If I want to cancel an order, I have to leave a message for the cancellation Dept!...), I will not buy Dell again, although I have about $10.000 worth of computers from them…

These aren’t totally identicle.  Note that on the SLIM version, you’ll have to use an over-priced “low-profile” video card, where as on the regular version you can just use a normal hieght video card.

I’ve purchased several desktop units and a couple of notebook models.  The desktop models have worked flawlessly.  One notebook had problems within the first month - Dell sent a new one to my house without waiting for the original to be sent back first.  There were very few questions - just a quick decision to replace it.  That’s what I call good service.
