Cases come in all shapes and sizes. The two main consumer types are tower cases and the flat desktop case (where the monitor sits on top). Tower cases can be micro towers (smallest), mini towers (small), midi towers (larger), full towers (largest).
You must be looking at the refurbished outlet if you are seeing 8250, 8200 or 4550 as machines available. The current models you discussed where 4600 and 8300. All the rest have been discontinued for a while now. I wouldn't reccommend buying from that group of discontinued models.
If you are going to buy a Dell and have it for a number of years I would get the 8300. As new capabilities come along, you will be more able to add them to the machine with the most room for growth. It also is the only model with the best case (clam shell).
