I’m about to purchase my second pc ever, my faithful five year old Dimension is getting quite long-in-the-tooth. Instead of purchasing another Dimension I am thinking about a Optiplex based upon comments in this group and elsewhere stating that they are, if anything, perhaps even more solid and quiet than the Dimensions, and possibly better tech support.

I will NOT be using my new pc for gaming, music or video. It will primarily be used for the MS Office Suite applications, surfing the net, and photo editing. Can anyone offer and comments positive or negative? I simply want another system that will last another five years without getting outdated. Would a Optiplex make a good replacement for my old Dimension; this would NOT be for office or business. Thanks for all comments.
