The Little One Dell 3100 Review

We recently unpacked, tested and installed a Dell Dimension 3100 Desktop PC. It was meant to a relative of ours. This then presented itself to be another good opportunity for a The Little One Review.

The Dell Dimension 3100 was ordered through the internet and shipped to our house. We had used a coupon as a further discount. Part of the benefits from a credit card company.

We have bought a couple of notebooks from Dell for friends and this was the first desktop.


The machine was well built and it was surprisingly quiet. Maybe it's because that there's only 1 fan for this desktop. There's also a large ventilation gap behind the front panel (directly behind the Dell logo at the front). Floating center console of the Volvo S40, anyone?

The back of the machine is also very neat. We had set it up in the living room to install windows and some applications.

The Little One was soon all over the PC! Seems that she likes gadgets. Or maybe it's just the boxes. When she was little (more little than currently), she loves boxes. Sitting in them, that is.

Let's start this baby up.

The Little Gadgeteer, she is.

The Little One gives this PC a "Must touch everything" rating!
