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 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

I just think that people who *need* that much space can surely build their own computer to their own specification, or have the knowledge to pay someone a small fee to put it together. Dell's components usually are cheap, and no matter what or how many options they give you, most likely there's not the exact parts you want.

My friend just bought a top of the line Dell though, and he was quite happy with it. Cost a bundle , but at least he's got the warranty if anything goes haywire

Well I think Dell has made such improvements to become one of the most powerful machine makers, there will definately be buyers for such high specifications, whether or not it's 4gb RAM or 500gb harddisk. People working in NASA probably find such machines useful for speedy calculations. The movie makers in Hollywood also will thank Dell for such products.

Anyway I've read an article sometime ago that the animated movie, Toys, made used of 2tb (terabytes) of harddisk space to store the entire movie. That doesn't include the softwares and tools that made the movie.. So why not? Dell will still grow, definately..!

huh...it is too huge but it would not lure me to get one or enlarge current disk capacity.because as a desktop pc,200Gb is enough to hold anything you like.just like what jlhaslip said,if need to check disk,defrag will take a boring long time...
however,we should convince that dell is so outstanding in computer development field,big disk must advance big ram to promote later...

I can see myself using something like that... because between my computers, I've got a lot of stuff saved up. I've got 40 gigs on the home computer, with about 30 gigs used. I have another 40 gigs on my laptop... and it's only got about 35 gigs used... I had to go out and buy an external hard drive, because it got full... It was 80 gigs, and I figured there was no way I could fill that! But low and behold, it's full too. I'm going to have to buy another one soon I think. I think I'd rather buy more externals than a 'super-computer' though. I don't know. It's probably cheaper this way. Specially since I got my 80 gig hard-drive for $200, and there were many cheaper ones out there.

Wow I wonder who's going to use that much space. I only used about 10gb of my 100gb. Well good luck with that Dell.

5. Dell, Compaq, Hp, Ibm, Emachine Name Brand Computers - Which name brand computers do you think are best? (19)

   Ok of all the brand name computer companies out there which one do you think is the best. I know
   myself that building your own custom system is the most economic and likely the best way to buy a
   computer, but if you were offered the choice of all the top brand names which one would you choose
   and what makes it better than all the others. I have owned Dell, Compaq, IBM and an EMachine. In my
   opinion the Dell was the best. The Dell was inexpensive to buy and was a quite stable system. The
   Dell also had very little upgadability though, but man did it look sweet! The Co...

12. How Do You Combine Removable Drives In To One Big Drive? - (7)

    Now this is very interesting and confusing at the same time. I have been told that it is something
    that is good useful and can be done. To combine all the removable drives you might have and put them
    all in to your main Hard Drive so then you have a bigger memory. The reason I am asking how to do
    this is because I always seem to have problems wioth my PC as it seems to run brilliant for a couple
    of weeks and then it goes slow like a snail but I've never been able to find out why? Would
    combinign all of my removable drives with my main Hard Drive make my PC run a lot...

    mentioned that it didn't work. They replaced it. So it worked for about a day, then stopped
    again. Well if I know anything, that's not supposed to happen. Now AFTER I had my computer
    fixed, my CD Drive stopped working aswell. I just replaced my CD drive myself today. Still
    doesn't work. I don't want to take my computer back into Best Buys because then I won't

    I recently asked for help regaining info from one hard drive to another. Well now I have two hard
    drives in my computer and I have rebooted both of them with XP Home edition. Well it seems that my
    internet is actually slower though all the network and everything is telling me it is working at
    100%. I have dial up netscape internet service. Is it actually slow? Or is it the fact that I live
    in an area where fast connection really isn't in high demand thus no matter what my dial up
    connection would be slow? What are your opinions....
