OB has been studying Dell for a replacement desktop PC. He seems

OK, I turned him on to Dell(but I was thinking Opti-Plex of old!)
Seeking opinions about Inspiron line and Opti-Plex line. It has been
15 yrs since I played with my old Opti-Plex
at Xerox before they laid me off. My opinion was that the PC was
quite good given its' proprietary Dell m/b. Sure
kept me out of the case!!!! LOL!
No. I did not share that Dell will load up a sequestered area of his
1TB em HD with Dell stuff. Shame on me!
The mini-cases (for any manufacturer) are complete crap. A decent
mini to mid size tower is ok. Not a fan of Dell (except for the fact
the low build quality keeps me busy), but I guess if you don't know a
decent small shop in the area it might be the only choice.
