Information about the Dell XPS 400 series.?

Question

I was thinking about getting the dell xps 400 but i dont want to buy something i will regret buying later. i would like an educated opinion on if its worth the money or if tyheir is someting better out there. the one i want comes with the nvidea 9800 gtx card and a 30 in wide screen flat panal moniter. it lookes like decent specs but im not a computer wiz by any means lol. you can find all the specs on on their xps website. I have also heard that dell dosent make the best computers so if anyone knows why, that would be helpfull as well, is it because of the programming?. The computer in total will cost about 1500 dollars.

Answer 2

Yes it is worth the money, it has good specs. As far as people saying Dell doesn't make good computers, some people just don't like Dell, but in my humble opinion they make the best computers currently. The only thing that makes me a little uncomfortable about this particular model is the size of the power supply, only 375W. This could become a problem if you look to upgrade in the future, but if you are not a high-end gaming computer type person, this will not be a problem for you.
