First-Look: Dell XPS 600

wow thats one sexy video card but what what... why have they used a non norm psu :( but not for me unless you can get that video card oem :D

Doesn't look BTX to me.

TBH don't you void the warrenty if you open the case anyway, so why make it neat inside if you not going too see it, come on you just spent £2,500 why open it unless your nuts and or too much money too burn.

IMO id get a Dell over any Voodoo or Alienware as there returns and help/support is far supior then any other company.

It's not. I suppose the cooling module or whatever is along those principles, but all of their systems use that.

MDK - I don't think so. Back before I found newegg, I replaced my own DVD drive (oooohhhh!) that was sent by Dell. They offered to send someone to do it, but I'm like "uhh, I'm not a retard, I can handle it" no problem. Of course the drive in question wasn't in the dell case, so it was probably for the better. In fact, the drive wasn't even in it's own case...

warrenty warrenty :) :) :) whats that

As said earlier, I used one of their dual 1.3ghz Xeons, with the same clamshell type case. I have to agree the inside looks like a pit of hot death, a much cleaner install would've been nice, i'm curious as to the performance of the thing. I would rather build my own simply because it'd be easier to do a much cleaner install.

I guess we have to remember that Dell is just starting in this field. It's easy to build a one off system like this if you have the money, but they are building to a budget and being Dell, will be producing in quantity.

No doubt they will learn as they go along.

BTX? nope it'll be a shitey dell custom power supply that will cost 4 times as much as a usual one to buy when it's out of warrenty.
Dell great if you know nothing about computers - suck the big one if you do.
Messiest insides EVER.

I think it's funny how Dell puts all those nice, expensive parts in the computer and then goes and uses DDR2-533 memory. That thing begs for some nice OCZ enhanced-latency DDR2-800.

Its because thats how they make even more a profit. Right now the average consumer only knows what makes a game better..A NICE graphics card and a NICE CPU. Tell a person what RAM Does, let alone whats better, and they wont know a thing. Same thing with the PSU, Mobo, HD's, and cables. These things people dont know which is better and dell can get away with putting crappy components with a decent cpu and a decent videocard and the people will be like,"WOW! Thats a crazy good computer because it has a Pentium D and a Gforce 7800GTX! OMG!!!"

Just got my dell xps600 computer, as soon as i started the computer, dell logo comes up and it stays there, seems like, computer freezes at the dell logo. After many reboots, i finally get past dell logo, but then black screen comes up with the blinking cursor on the upper left hand corner. I was with dell support for 2 days over the phone, they had me open up the box, took out the ram, had me flash bios. They also had me unplug and plug back in sata cable from the hard drive. They dont know what it is, so they just gave up and will be sending a new pc.


Overall experience with this computer is very disapointing. Perhaps somebody out there might know what the problem might be.
