Dell Inspiron i3647-2309BK Desktop (Intel Core i3 Processor, 4GB RAM)
CUSTOMER REVIEW
*Caveat* - I bought this from a local computer store that price matched Amazon, so I will not show as a verified purchase.
The Inspiron 3000s or "Smallspiron" is an excellent small-foot-print home/office PC.
The heart of the machine is the staggeringly powerful Core i3-4150 Haswell Dual Core processor, which is quite frankly more powerful than any home-pc could ever need (shy of gaming/rendering/auto-cad etc).
I am using this to run a small business, and it has taken every ounce of work I've thrown at it and then some.
I would *not* recommend this PC for anyone who intends to play any game more complex than Farmville.
I *would* recommend this PC for anyone who intends to do office tasks, browse the internet, do emails/netflix/youtube etc.

Upgrading the RAM to 8 GB in this machine is truly easy, but requires removing a rather awkward fan-cover to get access to the RAM slots. 4GB (which is what it comes with standard) will be fine, but 8 makes this unit sing!
If you have a friend with a picture of a penguin with a wizard hat on their desk or car, ask them to help you - offer pizza or beer.
_____________
Normally I recommend reformatting the drive and installing a clean OEM Operating System right off the bat with any pre-built system, but Dell's image isn't terrible, and removing the junk-ware was fairly quick and painless.

All in all, I think this is an EXCELLENT micro-tower, and easily the best value-for-money available on the market for Home-Office use. You would be hard-pressed to achieve similar performance in a self-built system, and to include an OS.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
