Dell Optiplex 760
The Dell OptiPlex 760 is slightly smaller than the Lenovo ThinkCentre M58p but provides similar features. It has two USB ports and microphone/headphone jacks on the front, and there is space for a slimline optical drive and a floppy drive. You can place the OptiPlex 760 desktop PC either horizontally or vertically; you can even swivel the Dell logo on the front to suit the orientation you choose!
On the back panel there are serial, parallel and D-Sub ports, though no PS/2 connections. There are also six USB ports, Gigabit Ethernet, eSATA, DisplayPort and microphone/headphone jacks. You can configure the desktop PC with a DVI add-in card, which occupies the PCI Express x16 slot. Any two of the three display connections can be used for dual-monitor configurations but you can't use all three simultaneously.
The combination of a high-performance CPU and plenty of RAM ensures that this desktop PC can perform multiple tasks simultaneously, but it lacks significant graphics processing power. Dell offers ATI Radeon HD 3450 and ATI Radeon HD 3470 low-profile graphics cards as options, but these are still insufficient for GPU-intensive tasks.
