    My friend wants one. Its 1300 bucks for it. It comes with the 7800 GTX. but is it really worth it? I dont know much about it but I know overall Dell sucks. He keeps saying this one is actually good..what do you think?

    Dell sucks overall. The specs are 'looking' good. But it sucks.
     
  4. if dell can build a computer with a 7800gtx for 1300, im pretty sure he can do it for 1000.

    Dont
    Buy
    Dell

    Just dont, the specs may be good but the computer will still be crap. Not to mention they're tech support is the worst I've ever used. (and I've used it on multiple occasions, it wasnt just one bad experience.)

    I've already made the mistake of buying one, don't. It's good and all but all the preinstalled ---- dell has on it messed everything up even after it's been unistalled. There also pretty overpriced.

    older Dells are ok, I work with them.

    tell him to go to ibuypower.com he can get a better computer.
     
  11. know any of the other specs or just the 7800?

    if you take the ----tiest settings ibuypower gives you then change the gpu to a 7800gtx its less than 1000.

    Dell does not have a $1300 computer that comes with a 7800GTX. The High-end XPS400 is $1300, but comes with a 6800.

    Who is it, Dibbles? I need to smack him.
