Risingtide93 · 03-23-2007, 01:40 AM

Hello

I'm about to buy a refurbished Dell XPS 700 that has no problems whatsoever (that's what seller posted up ) and it will cost under $1000.00

Specifications 1:

Intel Core 2 Duo Processor E6300 (2MB L2 Cache, 21.83GHz,1066 fsb)
1 GB DDR2 SDRAM 677MHz (2 DIMMs)
Integrated 7.1 audio

Genuine Windows XP Media Center
16X DVD +/- RW w/dbl layer write capability
750 watt power supply
Dell Optical USB 2-button Mouse
Operating System Software CD for reformat
1000/100/10 Ethernet, 8 USB, 1394, Dual DVI, and more ports galore!
Dell USB keyboard
256MB nVidia GeForce 7900 GS Video Card, SLI configuration ready
Ready for easy expansion in its large solid aluminum case! Room for FOUR hard drives, etc...

Or should i buy it straight from Dell, previously ordered new condition XPS 700 for $1,129.00?

Why don't you buy a Dimension E520 with the C2D 6400? They have a 25% off coupon right now so you could get a system like that with the e6400 and 2gigs of ram for under $840+tax(just built one on their site) The code is N3GVCQPP11CG9J and the only thing is the video card would be a little lower grade, but with the money you saved you could probably get an 8800 DX10 card and still be at about the same money that you would have spent on that XPS system, plus you got a better processor and double the ram....just a thought

To describe a Dell? It makes all the sense in the world.
And who cares if he spelled it wrong.
