Dell Dimension XPS T

Well, having just demoted my trusty XPS T-700 to 'server' status after 2 1/2 years of service, it's time to look back at how it performed and how it helped me to upgrade to a newer box (AMD XP-1900+). When I bought the XPS-T, around april 2000, I'd just arrived in the UK as a graduate & .COM gold digger, with little more than a suitcase. I needed something that would serve as an entertainment hub and didn't cost too much. I dediced to go all digital... my music would come from mp3 only, my movies would be DVD and games would be PC based..... The XPS-T was the solution, at £1500, I got a cutting edge computer, with proper room ...  Read the complete review

I have owned and used a Dell Dimension XPS T500 for about a year and a half now and I have been impressed by the whole Dell ownership experience. From before I bought the system, I was very impressed straight away. Looking through magazine adverts, they seemed to be the best equipped and most reasonably priced systems available. I called Dell to ask for a catalogue and one was sent within a week. I phoned them to discuss what I was after and they couldn't do enough to help (the call centre is in Ireland, and the staff are very helpful!) The person who had been helping me gave me their name and direct number so I could get hold of ...  Read the complete review

I've owned 2 computers over the last 4 years. The first was made by Time, a mail order company that sell cheap but fairly powerful PCs and come bundled with a digital camera, scanner, software and all manner of bells and whistles. With hindsight, what I gained in freebies, I lost in stability and quality of the PC and its core components. When the Time PC died on me about 2 years later, I vowed to buy a quality computer without the unneeded add-ons. My first choice was a Dell. I ordered over the telephone and spoke to a very helpful sales rep. We went through the specification a few times to make sure it was exactly what I wanted (once the order has ...  Read the complete review

I've had a Dimension XPS T500 for over a year now and it has performed faultlessly. The only problem I had was when I accidentally turned the power off while Windows was shutting down which deleted the Windows helpfile. A quick e-mail to Dell's tech support and within 48 hours I had been told how to restore the absent file. The system itself has been used pretty much everyday, by four different people for a variety of different uses (internet, University work, business use, games, etc) and it has coped with everything that we've thrown at it. The 19" Dell Trinitron monitor is excellent, the keyboard and mouse are nice and comfortable to use. The ...  Read the complete review
