Dude! your getting a dell with SLI ?
well mabey not, well a guy here at work started asking me about the dell boxes and that he was going to get one of his kid for xmas. I told him I could help him build one with better parts but he is set on getting one from them. but he was showing me the ones he picked well one got my attention dell now has a high end rig aimed at gammers its the xps 600, has dual 7800 on a NF4 SLI setup but its 3 grand. there is an upgrade option for a dual core P4 as well thats another grand.
one if I was going to drop 3 grand on a box, its not going to be from dell. any how thought I would share the info. SLI in off the shelf machines...

Yeah, I just read that too. I think it's good that Dell is starting do diversify a little bit. Almost gives me the sense of remotely even thinking about the possiblity of Dell using AMD!
Anyway, here's the info I found:

pretty much. I told my co-worker to pick the dell he liked and then I would build him one with better parts and for less money. he's starting to like that idea when I showed him how much he could save (that I'm fixing his dell for him alot)
I just thought it funny to the point of being stupid that dell would be selling a machine like this. for the coin I figure that one would go alienware, even then I would build it myself.

Good Friend you are, i dont think id wanna build another friend a computer, because now everytime the things goes wrong guess who he comes to?
Now i like to help people out but computer problems just boggle my mind. expecially when i have no clue what it is. Building my pc gave me a whole lot of stress because the mobo was defective but hey, its running nice now.
But its nice of you to offer to build him one, and save him a ton of money.

What I dont get is why do all these computer companies keep selling intel processors in their rigs when intel gets its but handed to it by AMD.
Pentium 4's are completely outclassed by athlon 64's an Athlon 64 3000+ will outperform an intel 3.4 ghz almost at everything besides media encoding. Plus they are cheaper...
I guess if your selling computers ment for office work you can sell intel's but thats what celerons are for...

I've got the Dell 2005fps monitor, and its awesome. Not a single dead pixel, great for gaming, and very little bleed through.
I'm waiting for a good deal on their 2405fps, then I'm going to sell this one.
I also just bought those Sennheiser headphones this last week, and they are the best I've ever used.

It's good to know that Dell has a few good products, because I would never buy their computers, mainly because I remember how crazy their cases were back in tthe day (it was like a clamshell, and you couldn't hardly get into them); they improved upon them some when I last worked on them, but still a crazy setup if you had to replace the mobo. I'll definitely give their LCD a chance, and might wait for the 2405FPW to go down (it's like 1000 bucks right now, so yeah, lol).
