I have a Inspirion 518 myself. Just switched DELL's PSU to a Rosewill 500W, inserted a XFX 9500 GT, a new case fan, and PCI cooling fans and it works fine. I don't see why you guys want a 600W or more on this machine. I don't think it could do SLI mode.
i have this computer its really good! i hav intel quad core cpu 2.40ghz 250hdd ati graphics(shitty card gonna upgrade) vista premium 4gb ram cost me like $900 and its worth the buy except i highly recommended NOT getting the graphics card that you can upgrade when you customize it. just go to the store buy a good graphics card and istall in your self =]
Im in the market for a new desktop and was wondering if this is a good buy. Ive been told that these over heat and in some cases catch fire. Has anyone heard of such problems or any recommendations?
if i get this can i play games like second life and imvu things like that withought extream laggyness from hell with the graphics card that comes with it if not then whats the best graphics card i could get and how much does it coast
im getting a 518 w/ Dual core 2.4ghz,2gb RAM, VisionTek Radeon HD 2400 PRO,and 250gb hard drive, and integrated audio. how would that run some of todays newest games like CoD4, FEAR, and Crysis?
It would play World of Warcraft just fine, plus this pc is completely customizable. You can always put in a power supply and better graphics card if you need to. You can turn this into a powerful gaming machine if you know about upgrades.
I have a low end one of these, it's the shittest comp eh

I didn't get an ATI card in mine at all. I had a crappy intel integrated card. My 518 also has 64 bit Vista.

can this computer handle some of the latest games like call of duty 4, crysis, unreal tournament 3 and other games like that?
if not, what dell computer can handle these games but with a fair price?
another question is that can this monitor handle graphics cards such as nvidia geforce 8800 and other types of graphics cards?
sorry for the nooby questions its just out of curiosity and im lookin for a new good computer :)

If you're going away from your home for university, you'd be better off buying a laptop, maybe a Dell Inspiron 1525.
