Thoughts on Dell

personally i would wait, but its up to you

I always check out the specials Dell faxes to our work. At first glance the deals look cheap but personally I think they are quite expensive considering the package deals are basic and out-dated.

Its a nice PC with a good screen, but the video card is a bit underpowered..... If you are going to play games you might want to upgrade it.

If it's an option, it's worth paying a little more for a GTX 260/275 or ATI 4890 or better.

OK, so I decided to spend a bit more and upgrade some of the spex:

• Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-920 Processor (2.66GHz, 8MB)
• Dell(TM) ST2310 23" Full HD Widescreen Monitor
• 8GB (4X1GB/2x2GB) DDR3 SDRAM 1066MHz Memory
• 1TB SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive with Native Command Queuing
• 19-in-1 Hi-Speed Media Reader with Bluetooth(R) 2.0
• 16X DVD+/-RW with Dual Layer Write Capabilities
• 1024MB NVIDIA(R) GeForce(R) GT220
• Integrated 7.1 Audio

$2499

How's that for a deal?

I just basically want to upgrade my existing PC which is about 5 years old. I want a big monitor and get back into PC gaming without going overboard.

I'm sure there's someone on here who lives in Sydney who could build a pretty good PC for you for that money.
