Yeah you sure saved a lot of bucks :) how did your 2500 mobile turn out? did it end up working after you got all the AS5 on it?

:sigh: why does everything have to turn in to a build-your-own debate?? :rolleyes:

Got me one about a month ago too... I love it.

Nice upgrade from my old P3 500MHz :blink:

[Hills420]

I'm buying one of these in the next three weeks. Time to retire the old 866mhz. I think I'm getting the 3.2Ghz, 1Gb RAM, 120GB HD, ATI Radeon 9800 Pro, etc.

This is the most high-end desktop machine offered by DELL for gaming or they give more options to add something in it? nice review (Y)

When I purchased mine, it was nearly top of the line....

There are a few more upgrades available now:

3.4 GHz P4 EE, 4 GB DDR Ram, etc. ;)

its simple... how much money did you spend for your XPS? ... them I'll build mine with much less than that.

[crazy1]

i'd rather buy... and this look the one to buy. thanks for the review :)

Less than 3000 USD for the system including the Dell 2001FP LCD, speakers, etc.

I looked around on newegg and tiger direct before purchasing and I highly doubt you could build a comparable system for less..... :o

Its like silly_walk said though, to each his own... ;)

[Wannes]

do you have a link on Dell's website to this system? You got me interested. (Y)

exactly the monitor i am looking for. i will order the speakers, keyboard and mouse not from dell though.

Keyboard & Mouse: Wireless Optical Desktop Elite Keyboard and Mouse

Speakers: The one's Dazzla has, need to PM him about that later.

I have that exact same keyboard and mouse, and they are wonderful....

My old Logitech MX700 cannot even compare in my opinion... ;)

[Wannes]

so i will tick no keyboard with that code you send me and then order the keyboard on amazon or something. i see Dazzla's speakers are included so that's fine. the price is just about right. :)

Because people are too thick-headed to realize something good when it's right in their face.

Three grand is a little high imo, but a very good system nonetheless.

I have an Alienware Area51 :alien: that I received in March, and when I saw the inside of the XPS I was so glad I bought Alienware. There isn't a cable in my computer that isn't secured right up agaist a wall or behind bay racks. I ran the computer with the access wall removed to check the air flow generated by the 2 front fans and the 2 rear fans, and the flow was suprisingly strong because it had a direct route and wasn't obstructed.

The 8 fans in or on my alienware do generate a little bit of noise, but it's not noticable when playing a game or doing anything with any sustainded music.

For low priced anybody PCs, go Dell, but for a performing YOU PC, get abducted by Alienware :alien:.

[Wannes]

i have started an alienware thread in the "hardware hangout' would you mind contributing? i am really deciding between the dell and this one hehe.

[FlaVorIce]

all you people saying you can build your own PC for less money than buying a premade one. please show me a write up on how you did it, because i would love to see it. the fact is that these producers can buy products at such high quantities that they can afford to sell a whole product for less money.

i will be getting a new PC shortly, and as much as i would like to build my own, the prices of the Dell, HP, Emachines, etc... are just too low to beat.

[Wannes]

do a google search for tutorials and you'll find something good.
