I have plenty of time for the internet. However, forum sites are not the authoritative source for information. And once again, if educated with your ample internet answer finding expertise, you would know that Dell has custom mobos in their laptops. My question concerned processor upgrade compatability and tech support was called after exhausting the possibility of finding it on their webpage at that time. Thanks again for that enligtening banter.

No one here has the right to bash ZBoater or luamhtrad.

Their computers are a lot more powerful then your's, and they were able to afford it, which is why the extra $500 in costs or so isn't a matter to them.

Now, the XPS are line may be pricey, but for those who can afford such a system get the satisfaction of some of the best parts you can buy on the market, enjoy full time tech support, 4 year warranty and a guarantee that the system WILL WORK.

Also, if anyone here can build the following system for "A LOT LESS" than $8500, please do so:

- Max Sized ATX case

- 30" LCD Monitor

- 5.1 Speakers 

- Intel Core 2 Quad QX6700

- Mobo that supports SLI and quad core

- 4 Gigabytes of DDR2-667 RAM

- 2 NVIDIA 8800GTX

- PhysX Card

- Sound Blaster XFi Pro

- Liquid Cooling System

- 2 TERABYTES of storage (include 2 Raptors)

- 850-1000w PSU

- 2 SATA DVD-RW

- Decent Keyboard and Mouse

- 4 Year Electrical Warranty

 

For those who can afford it, and don't have time for custom rig, the Dell XPS/VoodooPC/FalconNW systems are the best of the best.

LOL  no one wants to build the following system,  first of all on a performance scale it is nothing high above a custom 2500-3500$ system, physx card? total waste, 4gb RAM? for XP total waste for Vista? still waste, 2TB storage? good luck with that. Liquid cooling fine but what kind of crap has dell glued on to the components? dont expect some miraculous overclocking without a next day chat with the dedicated google searchers.

Its funny how you emphizise that most dont have time to build a custom PC yet you can still throw thousends of dollars away which you spent months on work to get

[QUOTE="Firingdudes"]Yeah you got time to sit on your ass while you on the dell support queue line waiting for some lazy represantive that give you some half arsed answers and then you end up sending your computer away for a few weeks. I rather hear what the "15" year old has to say because there is not much difference either way.luamhtrad

No, actually the XPS systems have dedicated AMERICAN support lines. I called and had an answer about my bios in five minutes. I also have same day on-site tech support if I need it. Way to educate yourself before posting.

I also love it how all the first time builders flood the forums with "My new cheaper than Dell custom built comp doesn't work help me please!!!!" :D

luamhtrad

yea but atleast they saved thousands of dollors in turn for a few minutes of posting on a forum. 

Possibly, but there are some people that keep posting problems day after day after day after day...

My time is more valuable than waiting for a 15 year old to give me his best guess on a computer problem.
