Customer Reviews
Great Buy
I purchased this systems and I love it. No problems. This system is extremely fast. I used it for video editing and I have no issues with rendering and other taxing programs.

Extremely pleased
I was shopping for a new Windows 7 computer to replace my aging Dell desktop. I had seen an add in the Sunday paper and went to Dell to shop online. I had configured the XPS 8100 system like I wanted and saved the file for purchase in the next day or two as I thought it over. When I returned to buy the unit the special pricing had run out. Just as a lark I did a search on Amazon and found this unit which was virtually identical to the one I configured. Better yet it was only $699 about $205 less than the sale price and over $400 cheaper than the updated price at Dell online. I order this unit from Amazon at about 4 PM on Thursday and believe it or not it was delivered by 10:00 AM the next morning!!! I also purchased a Belkin file transfer cable to move all the data from my old computer. Windows 7 did all the heavy lifting and transferred everything that I needed, photos, videos, music, documents, you name it. Easy as could be. It was also extremely easy to configure this new system into a home network with multiple computers, printers, etc. I couldn't be more pleased.

Such a good deal?
This computer fit the bill for me. I already had a good monitor, and it was compatible with it. Delivery was fast. No effort to install and put my stuff on it.
The only thing was that a week after I got it, I went back to my link for that product on Amazon, and the price had dropped a $100! Boo, hiss.

DELL 8100, Good for the money
I checked Dell's website and the 8100 has a lower end I5 that is upgradable to a lower end I7. It works great out of the box but with no extras as far as software. Keyboard and mouse are fair. Power supply is on the low end at under 400 watts. This will be an issue if I upgrade the video card. It came with a Nvidea 300 series video card with 512mb ram which only gave a score of 4.7 for windows performance review. Hard drive is a nice size at 1TB but only recieved a score of 5.9. For the money its hard to complain at all. It was $200 less than Dell's website with the same items. I have not have any issues and it runs everything I have loaded on it. I do not hear any noise from fans at all. My only concern is the low-end power supply in the future. For a mid-level machine its hard to beat the price.
