Dell Inspiron i620-228NBK Desktop PC Features

The Dell Inspiron i620-228NBK won't win any beauty contests. About its most defining characteristic is its blandness: It's pretty much a plain-looking black metal tower, which means it will work just about anywhere, but there are a few embellishments for design's sake. The top of the system has an indented tray so you can rest cameras, smartphones, or external hard drives and reasonably expect them to stay there. The system doesn't have any top-mounted USB ports, which are present on competitors like the Gateway DX4860-UB21P ($599.99 list, 3.5 stars). But you should be able to string a device's USB cable to one of the six USB 2.0 ports in the back, or one of the two USB 2.0 ports in the front. The front USB ports, a media card reader, and headphone and microphone jacks are hidden under a swing-down door, so they aren't exposed when not in use. In addition to the USB ports, the back of the system has a VGA port; more audio jacks; Ethernet; and an HDMI port (formerly a rare inclusion on systems in this price range) for carrying video and audio signals to large-screen monitors and HDTV sets.
