There is a shipping fee but I also found this in my local Costco
An equivalent "deal" from Dell directly costs $1850.

Pass for me.
Also to note: Dell disables XMP in the bios!
Also, no PCIe5, and some other items that are lacking ...
(they aren't meant for over-clocking for sure)
RAM (DDR5) only goes up to 4400, then goes DOWN from there! (see below)

But again, for everyday tasks and general usage, these really are well built. But I'd still go for one of the ebay deals with better specs. For now, I'm still piecing one together that will last me 10+ years, as I tend to keep them that long. (work)
I hate proprietary crap.

Personally I don't think this is horrible deal, but I do think it should be around 1200 with the way things are dropping in price lately. When you can build for 3-400 less than prebuilt, you start to wonder which way to go.

I did notice that the XPS 8950 only has display port 1.4 and no HDMI on the motherboard anymore - I believe the XPS 8940 also has hdmi out on the motherboard. Cost cutting at it's finest I guess, lol.
