Sentiment Score 79%The Dell Precision 3240 Compact keeps its cool throughout my testing. The fans for its processor and graphics card were audible but civilized even under heavy use. Overall, the Dell is fairly priced for what's inside given the form factor. More performance can be had in a larger tower for similar money.
