I WIll Never Buy a Dell

Because I hate to talk to tech support people who actually live in India, but they insist their names are called "Peter", "Brian", or "Julie" :)

Two Graphic Cards

Won't your PC become too noisy because of too many running fans? :)

Not really...

Although im not running 2 Nvidia cards, i am running a Geforce 6800 card and the fan on it isnt very loud or even noticeable gaming or not, so i think nvidia did a better job at getting noise levels down on the newer geforce lines ;) I do agree with its better to build your own than buy a dell or any other manufactured pc for that matter.

hilarious

$3K for a computer that only has 1/2 Gig ram, a single core 32bit P4, no DVD burner and I bet the monitor costs extra.

Sure maybe the video cards are worth maybe $800 of that, if we're generous, but what self respecting gamer is going to go for those specs?

For the same money I could build a dual core Athlon 64 X2 3800+, 2 GB Ram, 200 GB HD, 2 16x8x6x DVD Burners, top of the range motherboard, cooling, case and power supply, with a 19" LCD Screen and an ATI Radeon X800 XT video card and have $400 to spare, which ofcourse would buy me a second ATI Radeon X800 XT video card when crossfire becomes available.

Obviously there's a month's wait for the ATI version to arrive, but even if I went nVidia now, the cost would be about the same.

The only thing missing is the OS, which at $150 for an OEM copy of XP Pro puts my configuration $100 over the one listed by Dell.

I guarantee you that Dell's price doesn't include any sort of warrantee that would better the one that would come with all of the parts listed, unless you opt to pay more money (I've been seduced by Dell before and know how their advertised pricing works), and I guarantee that this PC comes with either no monitor or a crap one.

Do the math and if you don't know how to build your own, go Alienware, at least they use top quality components, and they'll beat the $3000 price with a better config too.

News my also be product info/machine is basic configuration

Information on new products is also news. I see no problem in this, as long as they publish also the press releases of other companies.

But can anybody enlighten me: Why watching DVDs at 480 pixels resolution? I don't need a 3k$ machine for doing that.

And effectively, putting a high end gaming machine together with those specs is a shame. Getting max graphics and only a basic configuration for the rest will make no gamer happy.

DVDs, for example, will be able to play at 480-pixel resolution

Wow! $3000 and dual SLI to play DVD's. You can do that with a $300 computer. Cmon, you must be able to give a better example then that.
