Dell Inspiron 545 Piano Black Desktop PC Review

Dell Inspiron 545 Piano Black Desktop PC is aesthetically pleasing with its glossy black front. Adapting a minimalist look, it cuts through the many unnecessary designs that other brands carry. You get the usual features such as expansion bays and a bonus media card reader that is hidden behind a panel door in the front of the system, keeping the whole system looking simple and neat. Dell knows that there are those who take delight in connecting their desktops into different video outputs, which is why they included several options, including an HDMI out. And if you aren’t into exotic output devices, what better way to augment the Dell Inspiron 545 than including a 21.5-inch HD monitor in the package? On the other hand, it does lack several important ports such as eSATA and FireWire – ports that are included in other systems sold for a much lower price.

Inside the Inspiron 545 is a 2.3 GHz Intel Core 2 Quad Q8200 processor. You also get a huge amount of RAM out of the box - 8GB 800MHz DDR2 SDRAM. For graphics processing, Dell opted to install a 256MB ATI Radeon HD 3450. If you find all those GB drives too small for you, you’d probably love the 1TB drive that comes preinstalled in the Dell Inspiron 545 Piano Black Desktop PC.
