Verified Purchase:Yes
If anyone is like me, chances are you are if you're reading this, I use reviews as a starting point for my purchases. I will try to answer as many questions as I can in this review as I am a picky buyer.
I have been in need of a powerful desktop for quite some time. I did a lot of searching and comparing over the course of a couple of months. This desktop has it all. It's the closest thing you can by (for cheap I might add) to a gaming rig if you don't need a machine for gaming. This is not top of the line but the 6th gen i7 and the extremely expandable RAM make this an excellent purchase to grow with you over the years.
On the subject of expandability, this tower has three (3) drive bays for storage, it's expandable up to 64 GB of RAM (4 slots) and has a dedicated graphics card (also upgradable). The three drive bays are one size fits all. You can mount up to 3 SSD SATA drives or standard drives into the bays. The holes for both are pre-drilled and as long as you buy mounting screws (no mount required) and a couple of extra SATA cables, you can fill them as you would like. I personally use the drive that comes with the computer as a redundant backup and installed two SSD drives to run my OS (Windows and Linux) and applications. The graphics card can support up to three monitors (2 DVI ports and 1 HDMI where Dell supplies the adapter). There is also the option for HDMI or DisplayPort from the Intel graphics processor.
The best feature of this machine is that it's extremely accessible. When you open it up, the power supply swings out to make getting inside to the drive bays, graphics card, and motherboard easier. No tools required until you want to remove something.
Overall, this is a perfect desktop for the person that needs power and wants a computer that has the option to grow with them.
