Dell OptiPlex 745
$549.00
Released January, 2006
The Pros:Variable chassis sizes allow you to choose between easier upgrading and compact size. 10,000 rpm hard drive options for faster system performance. Vented chassis offer excellent cooling for all system components.
The Cons:Very dated--Pentium, Celeron, Core 2 Duo processor options; only supports up to 4GB of DDR2. Bundled McAfee Internet Security subscription only lasts for 90 days. Chassis designs all look kind of ugly and flimsy.
