I have always been one to build my own computers in the past. Generally speaking, a few years ago, you could build your own fast computer, on a budget. However, as electronic prices have trickled down, I was tempted by this, offered on the Dell site for just under £600. Although delivery was quite slow, 10 days or so, the computer itself is very easy to set up and works very quickly. I use multiple high-demand applications on it and it copes without fault. Unfortunately (for some), Windows XP is not currently offered and you must take Windows Vista fresh from Dell. However, this isn't so much an "off the shelf" computer, and the buyer can ...

I bought the Dell XPS 420 in March, it was advertised a the PC of the MAC world, a superb machine for gaming, graphics and multi-media. I opted to upgrade the basic to 2Gb of Ram and 500Gb hard drive. The machine supposedly has a quadcore processer which means you can operate lots of high demand applications...I have found this computer to be utter rubbish! I would advise anyone thinking of buying this machine to steer clear. The process speed is rubbish, not at all what I'd envisaged or required, since March I've had two sets of replacement speakers and 2 different monitors, I am aware that these are add-ons however as far as I'm concerned I was buying a ...

Firstly, I use computers for multimedia and gaming, I'm currently at university studying Music Technology and I can honestly say I don't have a reason to use their systems when I have this one. I opted for the 4GB of ram, 700GB Hard drive, ATI HD3870. It runs like a dream (on Vista and Windows 7), running all my high demanding software (such as Cubase) effectively. Some may complain about the price, however, for a lot more power then a mac of the same price (my spec cost me £1,090), it's really good value for money for something that just works. It's worth noting that I bought this system after I built my own which was riddled with problems such as ... Read the complete review

I bought this desktop PC a year ago from the Dell website and I am very impressed with the spec and value for money. It came with a Nvidia 3d card, 2GB ram and a 160GB hard drive. I have been able to play intensive games such as Crysis on it with the settings up quite high. This machine looks slick, with black finish and blue lighting, very handsome piece of kit. Dell have also been good with their customer service, when my 3D card stopped working a courier collected it and a replacement was sent to me within a few days. I have had no further problems and for the £520 I paid for this machine I am very happy, and would definitely look at Dell in the future ... Read the complete review
