Recommend a Dell...your a funny guy, for a second there, I thought you were serious.
Kinda like going to the gynocologist and talking every chick there into having an abortion... because they would save money and wouldn't have to go threw the trouble of childbirth.

magoo said:Please get back on track???? Dell monitors....Good, cheap, nice deals every once in a while, built well.
Dell desktops....POS, IMO (our office bought three, 2 suck,1 is very noisy,full of cheap components, but nice monitors.)
Home service people dont seem to understand ENGLISH.
2 cents.
hAppy said:I vote maybe not, b/c someone told me that they use the cheapest possible parts and sell it at the highest price they can. And that's the reason people are mad, they're mad that their computer is crap, but they don't know the quality of the parts.

Thats pretty bad, and not what the poll was intended for......
You think your HDD is faster because of your HDD cables?ELMO said:AHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA....:tear:...

Out of curiousity, why would a Dell not be able to handle "heavy" gaming as opposed to "light" gaming if you purchase it with the right hardware in it?will5757 said:i'd reccomend a dell for a web broswer.maybe a little light gaming (hl1..those sort of games\mods)
if you want something well built..get it custom done..even if you have to pay someone else to do it..
i don't know anything about dell laptops..i hear there good..
also..the reason dell monitors are good is because they aren't made by dell..they are made by someone else and stamed with teh dell name..which is fine by me..as long as it looks good

It cost over $1600 to recover a $30 million proposal from the first bad drive, and would have cost that much again if they hadn't gotten a WD external HDD to back it up to when the second drive failed a week later
brom42 said:This isn't defending Dell, but you're telling me you were working on a $30 million proposal and you weren't backing it up?? Wow, thats simply amazing. So let me guess, you are now using the external hard drive and it is sitting in the same room. Guess what happens if there is a power surge or there is a fire? Kiss your original and backup goodbye. I would think that any company that is putting out multi-million dollar proposals would atleast have network storage for them and have off site backups. But I guess it is Dell's responsability to provide drives that never fail.

Crosshairs said:I didnt know Dell made hard drives.......so you can hardly blame the failure on them..... I have MANY Maxtor drives that have been running for years, with no problem.....Maybe you have dirty power at your work place......
You flatter me. BUT.... I dont think you read the whole thing. I dont hate nVidia,ATI AMD or Intel (or anyone else for that matter) I wasnt speaking about the XPS set in specific,yet I was correct in saying there wasnt a high end card in the whole "gaming" section. You could imagine someone ordering their "gaming" computer from Dell only to find it wont run their favourite game on anything but medium and 800 x 600 res. That, for 1500$ would be a crime (that may be a bit harsh). I DO think Dell markets their BASIC computer to be just that....a web surfer and email device that can store and print pictures or duplicate CDs or DVDs. No, Im not "high-end tech" but I think I can sort out what Dell has to offer and what Velocity Micro or some other boutique gaming store has to offer. The problem is that most people dont know what else there is "out there" because they dont do the research. They watch advertising on TV and purchase what their friends have. The word SNOB comes to mind,sir. Im sorry I offended your high endedness. have a good day Do you work for Dell or something??? Having a bad day???zone_86 said:Most of the models that Dell advertises on TV are not the $300.00 models - usually the 4700 dimension line which are much more respectable. They do more then just surf the net as was eluded to above by a poster. It's getting to the point that hardware forums just like this one has more mis-information then general tech forums with not nearly as many "gearheads'. After years in the business of higher end tech you start to come full circle and realize that noobs actually do hang out on places like [H] forums. Noobs can be people that have built 1-10 PC's and suddenly come to the conclusion that AMD or Intel, or ATI, or nVIDA sucks for some reason, or ...that a Dell XPS is only good for web surfing and gramps email-checking, and that they don't offer higher and video cards.
