I bought one (Dell Optiplex i5-2400 Small Form Factor Desktop...) earlier and really liked it.  Then I got this one (because I need Win7). It works fine but quite noisy -- sounds like the hard drive has to work very hard. That inevitably keeps me wondering "when is this machine going to break down?".  To be fair, it otherwise works fine. If you consider this one, here is my question (no recommendation) to you -- Would you travel for a long trip on a cheap flight with good service but with engines making unusual noise??  Yes? Then go for this one. No? Look for other ones.
