Components most changed/upgraded are RAM, SSD and GPU. All of them can be upgraded in this Dell. Comes with a 4090 and a 1000W PS. Why change power supply? 5600 DDR5 is bad? Just looking at a $2800 Lenovo Tower 7i with same CPU and they use DDR5 5200. Your unsureness on the cooling doesn't instill confidence you know what you're talking about.

This is a tired conversation. You want to build from scratch, feel free. You think there is better pre-builts, then LINK THEM to them if you truly want to help people.
Link to a better deal....

Are there any games that require 64gb ram, or is that only for video editing and rendering type activities?


Yeah, that Crucial seems like a good deal. 32 Gig doesn't do this machine justice, so I'm very interested in how that goes for your installation of it.

Does anybody know if Dell will give you a deal (maybe even free) to upgrade to Win 11 Pro? If not, where are people going to get the upgrade.

Just got mine today, installed the 2nd SSD. Probably going to upgrade to 64 Gig of ram, but also think I should upgrade to Pro from Home.

Quick question for anyone who's received their unit. I have an older SSD I want to move over from an old machine. https://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Ul...B0BZMLXNLS Are there any SATA data and power connectors available?
Thx!!

So that is a 2.5" SSD drive, right? I'd be very interested to see how that works out for you. I believe there is an open 3.5" bay, and I'm assuming sata connections to go with it. Please let me know how you end up installing this drive.

I do have a 3.5 to 2.5 adapter. I'm hoping that there might be a spot on the back side which I've seen on other desktops (like this example https://pssection9.com/wp-content...scaled.jpg) I'll find out Thursday and will share the info along with the results of the 64GB ram upgrade.

I bet the amounts will show up after May 15th so they are paid out next quarter. Fingers crossed tho! My "Order Placed" column is still blank too. I think a lot of us are in the same boat.

Is there an expectation of immediate payment? I assume there's a holding period for returns and such.

I think they only pay twice a year? or maybe quarterly, but yes there is a holding period.

The PC is supposed to be delivered tomorrow, so they are coming faster than they initially state.

They pay quarterly but again the CB amount is supposed to show up within 1-2 days after your Dell order shows as confirmed . If not, wait at least a week and submit a claim.

Can you kindly elaborate? You called Dell? This would be final cost without CB and coupon? I missed out and trying to see the final cost. I did not receive any 10% code or 15% CB.
