First post...

Hello all...

This is my first post here on computerforum.com and definitely not my last.

For my first post, I was just curious what everyone thinks of these new Dell XPS 600 machines (click here if you haven't heard about them). They come with dual nVidia 7800 GTXs in SLI and can support dual-core P4 3.2GHz processors (w/HT and 800MHz FSB), up to 2GB of 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM (2-4 DIMMs), dual hard drives, Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS and a host of other impressive stuff. Can't find information on heatsinks or powersupply anywhere, but I'm sure they aren't crap.

For a cookie-cutter, mass-produced PC the above configuration is pretty impressive. It looks like the bigger manufacturers are taking a gander at the high-end computing/gaming world and giving it the nod... Only, they're charging $3009 to start on these things.

I just wanted to know what you all thought about them.

Thanks a bunch and I look forward to your responses

You could probably build your own for much cheaper, I dare say ~1000$ Check out BUILDING COMPUTERS 101 if you feel interested. (Soon to have pictures)

I shudder at the thought of an HP. I had a bad experience.

If you cant build a computer than thats now a bad deal but you might want to check out Ibuypower.com

You can get the same thing for $600 cheaper but that does not include the monitor with it but its still a great deal.
