It is ridiculous. In opening the box I find only one PCI slot. The
addition of a second hard drive made the box sound like it was a drum
set. I think the cable was pressed against the side of the case and
every time the drive head moved it caused the vibration to vibrate the
case. These really are consumer grade products. Dell builds quality
stuff... they just hamstring it. Oh and I forgot these boxes will
only drive 1 video. If you want to drive more than one you need to
add an add on video card.
Next go around I will be building my own. That unfortunately will be
many years from now since I have a newer equipment.
Thank you all for your input!!

What kind of Motherboard do you have? Find out what its suggested

to default, allowing the full 32GB, if you wish.
The way to find these things out without having to power the machine
off and peer into the innards is to run "dmidecode > boardinfo.txt" as
root. grep the resulting text file for "Memory" and you'll find the
number of RAM slots and the maximum capacity of the board. dmidecode
should be available for every distro.
