  1. Comment - Dell tries again with its XPS 730 high-end desktop gaming system

    (May 4, 2008 - 10:58 AM)

    Yes, one can probably build a comparable gaming rig for less than what Dell is charging for this system. However, by the time one figures in the cost of building, hardware and software research and acquisition, system burn-in, testing and back-end support - which any technician will usually charge $50+ an hour for (that's what I charge for a system build, even to friends) - one will probably find Dell's prices very reasonable.

    I've built my own PC's as well. However, this time around I bought a Dell simply because I wasn't interested in the hassle of putting a system together and supporting the thing. And, if something goes wrong with it I make a phone call to Dell and they have to deal with it - not me. That's worth the slight premium I paid for the system.
