Inspiron 518[6][7] and Inspiron 519[8][9]

The Dell Inspiron 518 and Dell Inspiron 519 are similar machines with the main difference being that the Dell Inspiron 518 uses Intel central processing units while the Dell Inspiron 519 uses AMD central processing units. The Dell Inspiron 518 supports Intel Core 2 Quad, Intel Core 2 Duo, Intel Pentium Dual-Core and Intel Celeron processors. The Dell Inspiron 519 supports AMD Athlon 64/ LE/ 64 X2/ X2 BE and AMD Phenom X2/ X4/ X2 GE/ triple core

Both computers feature 2 USB 2.0 connectors on top of the computer. On the front, there is an optical-drive panel, optional optical-drive bay, 2 USB 2.0 connectors, headphone and microphone connector, drive activity light, power button and a FlexBay drive where a card reader can be installed.[10]

The inputs and outputs at the back consisted of an IEEE 1394 connector, network adapter connector which is an RJ-45 port that supports 10/100/1000 Mbit/s speeds, 4 USB 2.0 connectors, center/subwoofer connector, line-in connector, front left/right line-out connector, microphone jack, side left/right surround connector, back left/right surround connector and VGA video connector as well as a link integrity light and a network activity light.

The power supply used for both the Dell Inspiron 518 and Dell Inspiron 519 is a 300w unit.

Physically, the Dell Inspiron 518 and Dell Inspiron 519 are 379 (14.9 inches) in height, 17.0 cm (6.7 inches) in width, 43.5 cm (17.1 inches) in depth and 13.1 kg (28.9 lb) in weight.

The motherboard or system board used in the Dell Insprion 518 and Dell Inspiron 519 both have 24 pin ATX power, 4 pin CPU power, 4 DDR2 memory module connector, PCI connector, 2 PCI Express x1 connector, a PCI Express x16 connector and 4 SATA connectors.

Inspiron 530
A Dell Inspiron 530.

Released on June 26, 2007, the Dell Inspiron 530 is Dell's first desktop to use the Inspiron name. The Inspiron 530 has an Intel Celeron 450, and can be customized up to an Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550. It has 2 GB of DDR2 SDRAM at 800 MHz, which can be upgraded up to 4 GB (standard bios) or 8GB (BIOS upgrade 1.0.18 needed). The desktop has a 320 GB 7200 RPM Serial ATA hard drive w/DataBurst Cache, which can be upgraded to 1 TB. There are also data recovery versions of the 320 and 500 GB hard drive sizes. The Inspiron 530 is customizable with a variety of DVD+/-RW and Blu-ray Disc drives. The Inspiron 530 has integrated Intel GMA 3100, and can be customized up to an ATI Radeon HD 4670 discrete graphics card. It has integrated 7.1 channel audio and can be customized up to a Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeGamer sound card. The Inspiron 530 has no initial Wi-Fi card, but can be customized up to a Dell 1505 Wireless-N PCI-e card. The Inspiron 530 has two variants of motherboards, both made by Foxconn and based on the G33M series. The G33M02 which supports up to Core 2 Duo processors (the e8600 is the fastest compatible cpu) and the DG33M03, which supports up to Core 2 Quad processors. Inspiron 530 systems sold with Pentium Dual-Core or Core 2 Duo processors can not be upgraded to a standard Core 2 Quad processor without adding at least a 350W power supply and swapping motherboards to the DG33M03 motherboard, but unofficially,a "S" series Intel Core 2 Quad Processor (A true Quad Core with a TDP of 65W) can/will work in the G33M02 Motherboard which the Celeron/Pentium-Dual Core/Core 2 Duo variant of the Inspiron 530 shipped with. The reason the G33M02 doesn't support standard Core 2 Quad processors is because it only has 6 voltage regulator ICs, the DG33M03 has 11,which is the reason of it supporting all the CPU's the Core 2 Quad and the Celeron/Pentium-Dual Core/Core 2 Duo variant of the Inspiron 530 shipped with (and other CPU's in the family of CPU's the Inspiron 530 shipped with).

Inspiron 530s

The Inspiron 530s has the same design as the 530, but it is 41% slimmer. However, because of its design, it is not physically compatible with all desktop hardware, especially graphics cards (Dell only gives you the option of the ATI 2400 XT, which is not a high-performance card). The case used in the 530s can accommodate one 5.25" optical drive, one external 3.5" drive (either a 1.44  MB floppy or 19-in-1 card reader), and up to two standard 3.5" hard drives. The motherboard used in the 530s is the same as the motherboard used in the 530 edition, except for the fact that this motherboard only supports Dual-Core processors, and not any members of the Standard Quad-Core series like its twin, unless the motherboard is swapped to the DG33M03 motherboard used in the Inspiron 530, or a 65W TDP Core 2 Quad. While almost any low profile PCI-E x16 video card will physically fit in the 530s, the custom-sized Delta 250W power supply that the 530s is equipped with may seriously limit the potential for using higher-end cards, except if it is used in a different Standard ATX Case (Mid Tower and Full tower), then it is as capable as a 530 is (With the exception of the Case features in the standard 530).

Inspiron 531/531s
Dell Inspiron 531 upgraded for gaming purposes.

The Dell Inspiron 531 is Dell's AMD desktop counterpart to the Inspiron 530, and with exception of the CPU and motherboard, is virtually identical. Starting with the Athlon 64 X2 3800+ it can be customized up to an AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+. The Athlon X2 7000, Phenom, Phenom II and Athlon II series are not supported. It uses 1 GB of DDR2 SDRAM at 667 MHz, which can be upgraded up to 8 GB 800 MHz under JEDEC DDR2 voltage specification. The model features the M2N61-AX OEM motherboard made by ASUS [11] and uses nVidia GeForce 6150 integrated graphics with the nForce 430i chipset, and has two PCI slots, one PCI-e X1 and one PCI-e X16 1.0a slot. Due to the arrangement of the expansion slots, however, use of a double height video card renders the PCI-e X1 slot useless. The motherboard also features four SATA 1.0 Ports, one EIDE (floppy) plug, three USB plugs for front USB, a Firewire plug, and a front audio plug. Cooling is somewhat limited, as the motherboard only provides one 4-pin PWM CPU fan plug, and one 3-pin rear fan plug. Installation of a fan controller will be required to use additional fans. Recently, the 6.05 version of nVidia's System Performance Tools allows minor FSB overclocking, but does not allow voltage or multiplier adjustments, limiting overclocking potential. The case is Micro-ATX sized, lightweight aluminum and features one 92 mm Rear fan, one external 3​1⁄2" drive bay, two 5​1⁄4" bays and two vertical 3​1⁄2" internal drive bays. It also features a standard ATX sized 300 watt power supply with four SATA plugs, one 24-pin ATX12V 2.0 plug and one 4-pin P4 plug, oddly excluding any standard 4-pin Molex connectors. The I/O Shield is also part of the case, preventing the installation of third-party motherboards without modifications to the case.
