If you want to buy something overpriced then yes. Otherwise go to a place like www.ibuypower.com or www.monarchcomputer.com

coddie · 08-06-2006, 06:08 PM

the thing is though it would be easier for me to buy the system ready made because i know nothing about building a computer and from what i read it seemed like a pretty good system. why do you think its overpriced

holyjunk · 08-06-2006, 06:17 PM

Because all dell system all overpriced. (Well, not to say all as the cheap $299 ones are not that bad) Anyways those links I gave you they build the computer for you.

also cyberpowerpc.com if you configure a mega special series of computer you get free shipping.

see i need to get finance really and dell do it so thats my main reason for thinking about the xps. i live in ireland too so dunno about free shipping to here, but do you think that the xps system has a good spec list even though it may be overpriced?

bebopin64 · 08-06-2006, 10:49 PM

they are pretty good except that they use non OCable mobos and low grade memery among other things.

If your going to buy a Dell then watch for a deal on www.gotapex.com - The website is updated at midnite.

Beware of ordering XPS 700 from Dell. The ship date is getting ridiculous. Originally it was supposed to be one week until shipping, then it turned into 1.5 months, and now it's almost 4 months. When I called to find out why, I got someone who didn't seem to understand what was going and could give me no answers. I think he was probably out of country and didn't understand English all that well. So frustrating!!! Before ordering, call to make sure the components are in stock, otherwise the computer will be out of date before you even get it!!!

It's a good computer, but you might be paying like 2 times its actually value or something, so if you really want to blow that much money on it, sure get it, you'll play any games at max settings and stuff. But IMO, half the way of getting a computer is building it yourself.
