|
 |
On a norwegian newspaper site i found in one of the blogg, a new dell pc i being leased, it got 4 vidiocard, gforce 7000, the cpu is on 4,7gb. And the seize of the RAM and the HD, you can choose that your self  It will cost alot more than their most expensiv computer 23.000++.
I sitat: "The computer will run four GeForce 7800 GPUs, two more than the maximum allowed in the standard XPS 600. In tests, the rig and its Intel Pentium processor Extreme Edition 955 were factory overclocked at 4.2GHz, making it one of the fastest computers (if not the fastest) on the market. "

The case looks good, wish they would only offer the case for sale too, without the other components

dont get shit from dell. i worked for em for 2 yrs and every model they make is crap. optiplex is probably the most reliable because its for business and nothing fancy. however, any gaming computer is crap...made with plastic air ducts for the cpu, cheapass loud fans that often crap out, cheapass power supply that just might crash n burn, i could go on and on. all that for 2x the price of building it yerself. plus, if youre not a business and gotta call about your warranty, guess what? youre talkin to india.

Bah what an unneeded computer! Like anything in that machine is even going to be useful before the hardware gets too old...
Waste of space, money and air...
On the other hand, nothing that Dell delivers is any good...
Behold his GLORY! Bow for the technical master!

gee you guys are comming down pretty heavy on Dell, I bought a Dimension 4750 with a custom added X800 GPU 120 gig HD and 1 gig ram for £650 nearly a year ago! It's very quite and hasn't crashed once being on 24/7
I did a lot or reasearch after having built my last four PCs, was on a budget but needed something reliable for games and business. Compared to Rock Direct, Evesham, Simply, Dabs etc: it was the best bang for buck at the time.
Admittedly there machines arn't always first choice, but if you know what your looking for and willing to haggle with the sales team, and believe me they will if they see you leaving then their not all bad.
Best bargain I've grabed so far is an Acer notebook, with 15 inch widescreen wet look screen, 1 gig of ram, X700 ATI, 120 gig HD, DVD+ - R AMD 64 bit Hammer tech chip for £650.00 all in with carry case. End of sale bargain, which has ended it seems plays Battlefield 2 and AOE 3 like a dream!

I love my two T30's and T23. Sony and IBM are rock solid laptops. I had an acer, and when I got it , it would not power up, so back it went.

I bought a dell back in 99', still works fine. Gave it to my brother since I built me a new one a few years back, but that dells extremely reliable...not gonna argue that it looks like shit.
I probably wouldnt buy a new one, pentiums arnt my thing, and now that I know how to build them its pointless to buy one pre-built at twice the price + XP license.
