As has become the trend lately, there is no floppy drive and no bracket to hold one.

Our test machine's two 5.25-inch bays were filled with a pair of optical drives, and there's room for only one hard drive in the vertically oriented, 3.5-inch drive-bay enclosure. One of the consequences of going small, of course, is that your system won't leave much room for upgrades. The Dimension 2400 is diminutive enough to hide almost anywhere, but it's attractive enough that you won't have to tuck it out of sight. Dell has carried over the 14.5-by-7.3-by-16.8-inch (H, W, D), two-tone-gray minitower case it introduced in the middle of last year for its latest low-end configuration. With no AGP slot on your machine, you'll be left with no hope of upgrading to a more robust graphics solution, though this is still a fine system for families and for more disciplined students. But to keep the cost down, you'll have to put up with an equally underpowered integrated graphics chip and a two-piece speaker set. In addition, Dell tossed a creditable 15-inch LCD monitor into our bundle. Our test system carries a price that's just more than $1,000 and is highlighted by a respectable 2.6GHz Pentium 4 processor and a roomy 120GB hard drive, along with both DVD-ROM and CD-RW drives. Today's budget systems are typically leagues ahead of their predecessors in the bang-for-the-buck department, and for the most part, the Dell Dimension 2400 is no exception.
