Dell Inspiron 620 MT

We like the Dell Inspiron 620 for a few reasons. We appreciate that Dell has the guts to sell this midtower PC in a color other than glossy black. We also like that the case has a few touches that make life easier for upgraders. Our $803 review configuration is also refreshingly focused on traditional computing performance and entry-level gaming. For its performance, and with so many Windows desktops out there of uninspiring appearance, we recommend this PC to those looking for a desktop with some flair. Dell offers the Inspiron 620 in five different bezel colors, and also in a slim tower case. Any color other than black will add $29 to the price, but we expect some design-minded buyers won't mind paying the added amount. We also credit Dell for letting the color stand on its own, as the rest of the exterior is free of lighting, chrome accents, and other design flourishes. In a static pricing environment, the Inspiron 620 is a fair deal, but aggressive price cuts to the Gateway DX4850-45u have thrown off the mainstream desktop value curve. The DX4850-45u started above $750 when it launched this spring, but you can reliably find it for less than $600 on Newegg.
