Dell.ca: Studio XPS Desktop PC w/Intel i7 920, 3GB DDR3 RAM, 500GB HD, Vista Home Premium $999
If you're fond of that new computer smell, or you're looking to buy a computer with the most advanced processor to date, Dell.ca has a tempting offer on a Studio XPS Desktop PC at the moment. You can get your hands on a Studio XPS PC with the brand new Intel i7 920 processor, 3GB of DDR3 RAM, and more for $999. Here are the full specs:
- Genuine Windows Vista® Home Premium Edition SP1, 64-Bit
- Intel® Core™i7-920 Processor(8MB L2 Cache, 2.66GHz)
- Microsoft Works 9.0
- 3GB DDR3 Tri-Channel SDRAM at 1066MHz - 3 DIMMs
- 500GB - 7200RPM, SATA 3.0Gb/s, 16MB Cache
- Single Drive: 16X CD/DVD burner (DVD+/-RW) w/double layer write capability
- Integrated 7.1 Channel Audio
- 256MB ATI Radeon HD 3450
- 1 Yr Limited Warranty with 1 Yr NBD Onsite Service and 1 Yr Tech Support
Putting together a complete Core i7 system piece by piece at retail would set you back quite a bit more. Intel i7 920 processors cost anywhere from $370-$400+, X58 motherboards can be had at $250 and up, and 3GB of DDR3 RAM would cost you at least $130. That's no less than $750 for 3 components alone. This system also comes with a discrete video card. Even if the video card is not the fastest one on the block, the complete package is a good value if you're considering an Intel i7 system.
We don't find any of the upgrades too compelling, but there are a few Dell accessories elsewhere that might go along well with this system: the Logitech Wave USB Multimedia Keyboard for $17.99 and the StarTech.com 5.25" Tray-less SATA Hot Swap Bay for $19.99. Shipping is free.
