It is essentially “Inspiron 3040 tower”. It has two memory slots supporting up to 64 gb but most people would not need >32gb ram,
It needs a proprietary hdd tray or bracket which Dell does not include unless you order a hdd in ECT configuration.

ECT1250 has two different model (RPL vs ARL) with different motherboard of different cpu socket for different Intel cpu: Intel 13/14th gen vs ultra series 2.
The motherboard of older RPL model has Q670 chipset, while Inspiron 3030 motherboard has B660 chipset. both have two memory slots.
Difference: ECT1250 does not offer DVD, 3030 does.
ECT1250 requires proprietary hdd tray to install hdd, 3030 does not.
