Dell Studio XPS 9000 (formerly XPS 435)
Dell's strongest chassis design in years; highly capable jack-of-all-trade configuration; strong customer support options
Not as fast or as affordable as some of its off-the-shelf competition; a few missing features; power hog
The Dell Studio XPS 435 successfully overcomes our bias against desktops that claim to be experts at everything through charming case design and a strong configuration at a relatively fair price. It misses greatness because of a handful of minor ...

Dell Studio XPS
Outstanding performance for sub-$1,500 PC ; configurable options let you get a Core i7 CPU for less than $1,000
Competing systems have more exciting features ; limited upgrade path
You can find flashier PCs than Dell's $1,299 Studio XPS, but few have as much power where it counts. We don't recommend its small, pared-down case for upgraders, but this PC will satisfy anyone who needs a loaded, powerful PC for gaming and consumer ...

Dell Studio XPS
It's amazing what a difference a few years can make. Back in 2005, a $1,300 desktop would have been moderately powered, able to do word processing and spreadsheets fine but unable to play games without getting winded. These days, that same price will ...
High-end performance for what used to be a mainstream price. Can play games, including Crysis. It's not a gaming rig, so it won't stick out
At this price, it should have had Blu-ray and a little more storage. Its power supply somewhat limits future expansion
The Dell Studio XPS is an expandable multimedia powerhouse that can also play games well. It's attractive, and you can get it at a decent price.

"Better (maybe), Cheaper (probably), Faster (I'd say)"
I could have looked harder (I usually do) to ...
Minmal crapware. Runs anything that I can throw at it, but I'm not a super gamer. I did run Doom3 with no problems. My first system with Vista and I'm happy (sorry Vista haters)
Fan, or should I say blower, is noisy. It's a smooth noise, but loud. It rarely comes on. My Best-Buy purchase only came with 4GB RAM. You need to add 2MB additional to take advantage of the tri-channel.
"I wanted to love it"
Upgraded my system to 600W psu, and 9800 gtx+...
8 cores of intel, fast*ish, even cheaper refurbished
fan is stupid loud : meaning it can be quite but then turns up 100% and is really loud at times. Not as fast as the hype. Still has a 7200 rpm HDD, DDR3 Mem has high latency.
"Really good so far"
I've only had this computer for 4 days now, b...
Amazing speed, great graphics, just great performance
Can be slightly loud when it really gets going. No HDMI port.
