It's a Dell small business deal. We bought a few for the office. You pay $329 and this what you get
Intel Pentium Dual-Core E2200 (2.20GHz,1MB L2Cache,800FSB) Genuine Windows Vista® Home Basic, Service Pack 1 Dell 19 inch Widescreen E1909WFP Analog Flat Panel Display 2GB Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM 800MHz - 2DIMMs Single Drive: 16X (DVD+/-RW) Burner Drive 160GB Serial ATA Hard Drive (7200RPM) w/DataBurst Cache™ Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 3100
**** Pay $10 more, select the 250GB Hard Drive upgrade ****
Just a heads up. I bought this comp awhile back because I had excellent service from a Dell 4100. The thing I hated about this new comp is they changed all the plugs inside so you can NOT use your old hard drives and optical drives. I had to buy external cases or get raped buying new ones at Dell

It is not Dell. It is the overall technology change to use SATA instead of PATA.

And remember the concensus is Dell normally underrates their power supplies, meaning they say it's 250 even though the max output may be closer to 330 or so.

Time marches on and old technologies fade away. I also try to use my components as long as possible and there may be an alternative to going external or replacing old drives. You could add a PATA/IDE Controller Card if there is an available PCI slot in this PC. With that $10 or $20 expenditure, you could then use old IDE drives and even add RAID to your drives. I'm not sure if you could configure the PC to boot from them, but I'm betting that you can.
