I do not go to threads about bread telling people you are better of sourcing your own ingredients and baking your own bread.
This Dell XPS system would be a great fit, for home, office, students, coders, CAD, miners, and even casual gamers. Pretty much everyone except PC gamer enthusiast that like to build and maintain their own systems.
If you are just an normal person that wants to get a good deal on a good PC that will probably never be opened, and the only real maintenance you do is reinstall Windows ever couple of years to clean the system up. Then this system is perfect for you.
Hidden charges: No. When you price out a Dell, they list things as "Included" and have up charged extras, and sometimes they have downgradable options to save you a few bucks. They set the options and the prices. You can't tell them to add or remove something from a configuration that they don't want to add or remove. The fact that they saw the On-site 1-year service as an itemized line doesn't mean it was a hidden charge, and "included" doesn't mean "free". Gamers Nexus is stupid to think that "included" means "free". It means that it's included in the price they were quoted and they wished it didn't exist. Too bad. The bit about the forced monthly subscription that you have to actively opt out of WAS true. The video says that Dell changed it and it no longer exists.
GN does nothing but complain about every single thing they review. The few things I've seen them recommend still contain backhanded insults. Nothing will ever satisfy them. That's their shtick.

Most big name (Acer, Apple, Asus, Dell, HP, Lenovo, ect..) budget pre-built computers like this come with propriety cases, PSU, and motherboards now a days. Howerever their higher end computers may come with standard size parts (CPU, drives, fans, graphics cards, RAM, ect..) are standard and can be easily upgraded/replaced/swapped.

Be aware that this machine uses an entirely proprietary case and power supply. You cant swap parts or even reuse the case.
Also be aware that Dell is putting in one stick of 16gb ram, so forget about double data rate. Unless you replace with a two stick kit (extra cost).
Also be aware that these are using no name brand gpus with extremely cut down parts. Gamers nexus tore it down and it was even below Nvidia's recommended spec.
Just be aware of what you are actually getting.

Granted, the K processor comes with the VRM heatsink and the tower fan cooler.
What to do, what to do!?
So you folks may want to run "OpenHardwareMonitor" under normal circumstances for a while before buying any additional hardware.
