Damned impressive stuff! Rumoured to be coming out soon, and the way it has 4 is because each card is actually 2! :o So you have 2 double cards in SLI...

I would love to get my hands on that beast of a machine, although I'm guessing it will have one hell of a price tag! :(


Theres also a nice pic of the crazy cards here

Whats everyones opinion on dell btw??

[Dragonstorm]

Well I hear they are pretty good, get alot of good reviews etc, but I always build my own pc's so personally I cant really help! :P

My PC is a Dell - purchased through a work scheme to get tax benefits. Only problem I have had with it is the DVD burner does not seem to be of the best quality and sometimes has trouble reading CD-R's. It is a dual drive combo so I now just put CD-R's in the other drive and leave the DVD burner drive for it's main purpose.

I also had problems with the PCI Wifi adapter I put in there. Although my mac was working fine - the PC was dropping the connection a lot. I seem to have remedied this by adding a USB wifi adapter which sits a lot higher up.

It comes with plenty of USB connections - front/back and screen. Easy to open up and add extra stuff and it's quiet. It all just seems fine for my purposes which is mainly to play MxO. All my creative work is done on my mac so I don't do anything really intensive on it.

I've got a DELL Dimension 5000, payed jus' over £550 for it and I gotta say it's not amazing, but it does the job. I can run MxO with graphics up full and only have a slightly choppy framerate most times. However I'm a perfectionist... And it's gotta go, time for newer and better things Ren... Oh and QUAD SLI? Feckin' 'ell! Even I understand that!!

What must a man do to get his hands on one of these?....

I got a dell system about 18months/2 years ago and it does the job, have added memory speakers etc. Very neat and tidy inside. Only problem is when i ordered it, it came with a pci port instead of an agp one, didnt bother with it so i just settled with a crappy graphics card but i think its about time for a change..................

[rYugen]

fuck' sake :O

must get....

[Veube]

You'd have to pay me DOUBLE the price of any Dell PC for me to even have it within 10 metres of my house.

However, their digital flat panel monitors pwn. :)

And quad SLI......hmm.....

People come into our shop and say "Hi, I've got a Dell and I need to do some upgrades". then we laugh at them and they leave.

[Twaggy]

I have a Dell too, but putting up with a shitty Graphics card I could not handle. Yes PCI's are nearly dead and hard to get but I managed to get one that is far far far far far far more powerful than the suggested one to play MxO.

[HP-X]

It's a Dell and since I hate Dell I must hate that computer.

Oh btw, Amphetamine, may I use "People come into our shop and say "Hi, I've got a Dell and I need to do some upgrades". then we laugh at them and they leave." as my signature?" =>

We use dell's at work, my last three pc's have been dells (I tend to change about every 12-18 months), we never have any problems with them and have had no problems installing upgrades....but i certainly dont think they tend to be expensive so value for moneywise there are better options....the screen looks dreamy though, I'm gonna have me one of those!

[Dragonstorm]

...so value for moneywise!...

I thought that too :? But was just having a look at some of the pc's, and they arent actually that much cheaper than Alienware (over-priced bastards!!! -- although, nice comps! :P), and still something stupid like 140% of the cost if you build it yourself! (ie you would save around 1/3rd with a bit of DIY :wink:) And of course, thats not all pc's, just the custom ones i was looking at seemed a bit pricey!

Was shocked to discover that tbh, because even though I dont own any DELL comps, I'd heard they were pretty good value!

I dunno about this new beast though, might be entirely different! Again though, i dont buy ready-mades, so i dont really know prices that much!

Yeah, what the clever lady said.

/agree.

[0bitus]

Well whats so bad about them before i run out and buy another lol

[Veube]

Buying a Dell is like playing Russian Roulette where only one of the chambers is EMPTY !

You MIGHT be lucky.

Go take a look at the support forums on the Dell website......it would seem that any and all problems are met with the same answer:

'We're sorry that you're experiencing problems with your computer that went out of warranty yesterday. We suggest you replace the mainboard (which you can only get from us :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:). Have a nice day.'

I smell deliberate design flaws.
