XPS vs Dimension

Priced out a Dimension E520 at $654 and an XPS 410 @ $764. Same
system, except the E520 has Intel E6420 and the XPS has Intel E4300.
Does the XPS have any real advantages over the Dimension?

The most remarkable thing about my mother is that
for thirty years she served the family nothing but leftovers.
The original meal has never been found.

I'm not an expert but just did my own shopping...the XPS410 has a bigger
power supply and better cooling I think, but with the E520 system you have
listed there, it's a much better processor.

Also, the XPS410 case is a tad bigger, and has room for both a floppy and
the media card reader at the same time.
