Dell XPS 8500 SE, better to buy than build?
6 months ago
|
This Dell XPS 8500 Special Edition configured cost is $2100. It gets great reviews and has a full featured case that has room for additional HDDs. I priced the individual components on newegg, selecting the lowest prices. My built cost came to $1900, only $200 less than the Dell.
I know many look down on Dell pcs, but my family have bought several over the years and they served us well. I was really considering building my own pc, until I saw this Dell.
I'd like your opinion on this XPS. I'm still open to building my own.
For $2100 you get...
