Dell Barebones

[Kareeser]

It seems Dell has tried to encroach on our territory

Dell to Offer Barebone Systems

... Dell will offer barebones systems based around the new Dell XPS 700. It will come with a case, Intel Pentium D 930 processor, 512MB of DDR2 memory, motherboard, and power supply. The barebones XPS 700 will start out at $1,120.

Isn't $1,120 a bit steep for a barebones system? I remember a thread asking for the build list for a $500 "Oblivion" Computer, and if I remember correctly, we came up with a good list.

I also wouldn't put much faith in the RAM they choose to put into it, as "no details on the motherboard or memory have been revealed"

They've had a server box with a dual core and two 80 gig drives and 512 ram for $499.00 for a long time.....

One stick of RAM---$50

One case and power supply---$100

One motherboard---$120

One Pentium d 930 processor---$200

Dude, I'm getting a Dell!

PRICELESS!!!

Edit:

Did some looking around and it seems that the case/psu and motherboard would be at least twice what I put in above.

I wonder when Intel is going to release that SLI/BTX board to the general public.

A case like that with a SLI-ready power supply for $100? I don't think so.
A SLI BTX motherboard for $120? I don't think so.
