    CNET Review

    November 2, 2005

    The Good: Updated appearance; removable side panel provides easy access to case interior; quiet operation.

    The Bad: Dual-core CPU not an option; no FireWire ports; limited graphics-card options; too little storage for a media PC; stingy standard support.

    The Bottom Line: Dell's mainstream Dimension E510 looks good from the outside, but surprisingly limited configuration options dampen our enthusiasm.
