REVIEW
I finally caught the Studio Desktops on sale when I discovered the colorful new Inspiron 537 line advertised almost $200 cheaper. I looked around for reviews but there weren't any! I took a chance on it and it really paid off!

My $750 shiny black system includes Intel Core 2 Duo E8400, Vista Home Premium, an Ati Radeon 4350 graphic card, 500 GB Hard Drive and 4 GB of RAM. I also purchased a nice 24" monitor. (Which is like a billboard compared to my old 13" CRT.)

Setup was very simple, Dell included manuals and product CDs but were already pre-installed. Step-by step color coded illustrations tell you everything; what cords to plug in and when (its borderline insulting).

Reviews made me think twice about the graphic card it's wonderful! I ran out and splurged on The Sims3 which is running at maximum settings with anti-aliasing on. Graphic comparison charts must be meant for people who want 100,000 frames per second because I can say there is no slowdown at all and it runs games smooth as butter. A lot of other Dell system reviews mentioned noisy fans but this system produces only a loud whoosh at start up.

Vry minimal problems: mainly with getting used to Windows Vista, and getting it to dependably recognize my Internet connection (both no fault of Dell!) From the picture thought it had a slot loading drive but is actually two doors that conceal a slide out DVD tray and media reader. The drive comes out sideways and opens the door, (looks really cool) but I feared it would jam - used it multiple times - no problems yet. Finally, didn't expect that the system itself would take up half the USB ports; included keyboard, speaker, and mouse each take a USB slot leaving only one in the back and the two in the front. I purchased a USB hub to avoid cords in the front.

Overall, system is everything I ever dreamed of; fast, fun, awesome looking, and a perfect upgrade from my previous computer. I am able to do everything I want to with this computer! Wanted to make this review for anyone else reluctant to purchase the Inspiron 537s system due to lack of reviews; its the best computer you could ever imagine!

Review:My Inspiron 537 ST was easy to set up and a huge difference in speed. It is a very easy to use and has had a huge impact on my productivity. The slim line model is attractive and takes up less the half the space as my previous computer.

Review:I went over page after page of systems until I finally decided on the Inspiron 537 ST. I am so glad I did. This computer is awesome. It loads up, restarts, etc. in seconds!

The only thing I do not like about it is the button you push to make the DVD drive come out is kinda cheap and I am concerned it might break easily. It feels "loose" when you push on it. I could be wrong and it may never give me a problem though.

If you are looking for an awesome computer this is the one for you. I love mine!
