DELL Vostro 220MT

I've installed a couple of DELL's new Small Business Vostro desktops and have been very impressed with them. The front has a modern black glossy, straight-edged look which belies their affordable price. They are quiet in operation and include the latest technology with the Intel G45 Express chipset, standard 800Mhz DDR2 memory and X4500HD integrated graphics. Optional is an Ati Radeon graphics card in the PCI Express X16 slot.

Interestingly to my surprise when I connected the leads to the back of the unit there were the old green and mauve, mouse and keyboard PS/2 sockets. The supplied keyboard and mouse were USB of course. In fact there was even an old serial socket as well. This seems a backward step for DELL.

Overall this is a very neat modern PC with many configuration options including a compact tower (Vostro 220S) and an even larger tower (Vostro 420) avaliable. Recommended.
