It's also got a sideshow display, and comes with adobe elements with includes photoshop, and a bunch of other adobe garbage.


opinions/recomendations before i order?

Looks reasonable.

Nehalem chips come out in ~2wks, so prices will drop soon.

nehalem chips? do explain

that's not what they are called. nefilim or something like that. he's just being funny.

the power supply is thin if you want to put more hard drives in there, you will kill you ps faster.
all that adobe stuff is worthless and you usually get it free with a digital camera purchase. all in all that looks like a decent system. just look for some DELL coupons. Oct/Nov is when they make up all their lost sales numbers so there should be some 25% off coupons.

though I would probably get a 32MB cache drive and up the processor to
Intel® Core™2 Q9400 Quad-Core (6MB L2 cache,2.66GHz,1333FSB)

If you come accross any, let me know.

I think this processor would serve me fine, but duely noted.

and the only 32mb cache HD they offer is the 1TB HD. I can't justify spending an extra 200 bucks on an HD that I will never fill for a 32mb cache

you can just put in your own cheap
that drive is $100-ish.

1TB $109

1.5TB for $149

I just looked on there deals page and they have the same configuration, but with the Q6600 quad core, bigger HD, and 22 inch widescreen for only 150 bucks more.

950 bucks for that setup is pretty damn good. doubt I could even build it for that.

Knock yourself out ;)

I was reading another site and JUST read that was the name. I thought it was nefilim and you were just being cute.

my cpu is a neuronet processor a learning computer

I'm not witty and creative like that :(

But, those chips look bad ass. All four cores working together, instead of two two-packs. Improved self-managing bus, runs memory instead of the chipset, can also handle other internal IO the same way. I didn't get fully into reading about the cache but it sounded bad-ass too.
