Wow, I don't know how I'd ever fill a 500GB hard drive! I suppose with all applications steadily growing in size I would be able to fill it, along with home movies, music and photos. 4GB of RAM as well, this PC is certainly future proof!

I don't really think gamers and media people need 4gb of ram. Come on, 1gb is already more than enough to play any game on the market today. And 500GB...if I downloaded 500GB of stuff my ISP would cut my connection. Only thing I like about is the nice sleek look with the lights. Thats just my opinion, and its biased cuz I am drooling at this comp and regretting that I just bought my new comp a month ago.

Danieluchis, its about 2k. I bought mine for 1k, if I waited 2 more months I would have had enough to buy one. Dam, why does technology have to advance so fast, it makes my 1GB ram and 160GB harddrive look like a thing of the past. Arrg.

That's life for you. lol Once day, people will be using a Terabye of RAM, and CPUs running hundreds of GHz. It's only a matter of time, and I bet we'll all see it happening in our lifetime. That's why I'm holding off on buying anything new, since what I have at the moment is good enough even though it is outdated and old. Just as long as it works for my needs, that's all that should matter. Gamers are the ones who are helping in the advancement of technology most of all. The average office admin only needs a good old Pentium III to get by comfortably.

Hmm...you know what I am gonna do. I am gonna steal all the worlds supply of silicon, and horde it for a couple years in Antarctica. When I feel like my comp is getting sluggish I will release back into a world. What a great plan, now I just need the manpower.

Whats The Point Of HAVING 500 gb, Whos Going To Use All That Space, You Would Have To Download ALOT. I Use The Computer Everyday For At Least 4 Hourst And Im Stretching To Fill 200GB. But They Are The First, Thats A Good Thing. DELL ROCKS!!!!

Dam, why does technology have to advance so fast, it makes my 1GB ram and 160GB harddrive look like a thing of the past. Arrg.  That's just for the regular system specs. If you want the 4Gb of ram, 500gb hard drive and a dual core proccessor it brings the price to over $4.5 thousand |
