XPS 4 any good?
Got an XPS 4 in a corporate yard sale the other day, along with some lesser and
older systems. The XPS 4 is a big heavy honking beast, this one with a dual monitor card. Opinions about it? Thanks... Ben Myers |

Ben Myers Are you sure about the 4? Dell never has had an XPS with just that number. Try to find the service tag on the machine label, go to Dell support, enter the tag and get the full model number. |

The Gen4 and also the XPS400 are both fairly recent, last 18 months or so, and are unlikely to be thrown out. |

Ben Myers Ben, Have you run the service tag over at the support site to look at the original configs/specs? Is this it? http://www.sweclockers.com/imagebank...l_xps_gen4.jpg Essentially a gamer version/souped-up Precision Workstation. I wouldn't mind having one: http://compreviews.about.com/od/perf...ensionXPS4.htm Stew |

Yep. XPS Gen 4. Same photo of the big heavy honking beast I have.
I did pay some money for it. It was not free... Ben On Wed, 21 May 2008 17:00:50 -0500, "S.Lewis" wrote: "Ben Myers" wrote in message .. .

Ben I've never owned one, but the only potential gripe I had with them was the proprietary (dimensions of) the power supply. I've bid on a couple before with no joy. That is one big honking case. |

It really does look like a Precision 370 motherboard stuffed into the honking
case. Nice graphics. Nothing else special except the look and feel of the case. The look and feel is gamer and heavy...
