Standard add on cards, including video cards, will NOT fit, it takes half sized "low profile" cards.

it only has 2.3 GHz of processor speed, but if you were asking if the size of the case is good, then yes, it is

They might look attractive, but they SUCK when it comes to upgrading.

I had a hard time fitting a low profile 8400GS into my DELL C521.

OK so I put in an 8400 into my new computer that was in my old computer.

Problem: When I scroll up or down, it's really laggy.

I installed the driver for it and everything. My brother thinks it's the video card but idk =/

And also i'm getting like 20 fps in game with the 8400.

With the 6150 that it came with, I was fine.

It didn't work on my brother's new computer.

It worked on my crappy 9 year old one.

It doesn't work on my new one.

Conclusion: Buy the GTS 250

I'm now back on my 6150 and it's working fine.

I'm also kinda laggy in game...I get like 40-50 fps now instead of 60. And when I shoot at someone, I get like 30-40.
