Dell XPS 8300

 

Excellent price to performance ratio ; Ample connectivity options ; Eye-catching Design

Not much room for internal upgrades

Dell's inexpensive XPS 8300 is a true force to be reckoned with for its speeds, connections, and do-no-wrong attitude.

When you're a direct-supply giant, you win a lot of points with customers for offering enticing deals. Saving a few bucks can come at a cost, though, as we found with the newest Dell Dimension 8300 ($2,999 direct).

Dell Dimension 8300 3.0GHz - Ultimate Christmas Bundle

 

Dell is, quite simply, a massive PC builder. When Michael Dell pioneered the direct sale model with PCs it was pretty much unheard of, but it turned out that he was right and everyone else was wrong. These days, the name Dell is synonymous with...

Dell XPS 8300 review

 

The chip is but a stone's throw away from being Intel's top-of-the-line part, as its bigger brother - the i7-2600K - adds an unlocked CPU multiplier to the equation (overclockers, rejoice). For all intents and purposes, the Dell XPS 8300's processor...

It was surprising enough to see the Dell XPS 8300 just come out of nowhere and slap around competing desktop PCs with its killer mix of price and performance. But as we dug deeper into the system, Dell's system just refused to disappoint. To call this...

Dell XPS 8300 Review (Core i5/Nvidia)

 

Life in 2011 is hectic, and we don't all have the time or skills necessary to build a PC from the ground up. There are many system makers in the UK, but Dell are assuredly one of the biggest, offering a huge range of solutions to suit every desire and...

The case design is very appealing ; quiet ; runs cool ; Raid 0 configuration performs well ; great CPU and GPU performance

rather expensive when compared to other machines with similar specifications ; some of the ‘upgrade' pricing seems high ; no heatspreaders on memory ; internal cable routing could be neater

Kitguru says: A well built machine with balanced specifications.

All these high-end goodies come at a high price - but it's correct for the value you get

Consumer review (viewpoints.com)

This was the way to go, back then ”

 

Before purchasing my 8300 Dell Dimension Desktop PC, I looked at the most expensive model, with all the goodies, and selected only the components needed at the time.  This left me the option to upgrade later on with more RAM, Memory, Better video card,...
