Detailed review
I looked forward to getting this with the idea it would be a pretty powerful gaming machine with the ability to multitask other programs that I use for business/personal reasons. Overall, it's met those expectations, but it's had a driver conflict that results in persistent BSOD's ever since I got it. I have yet to resolve it despite multiple attempts to fix it. It's little more than an annoyance that doesn't affect me but every few days, but for the money I spent, I consider that a poor job by Dell in the quality control department. Otherwise though, it's great. Superfast, great performance aside from the occasional BSOD. I like the look of it, but it is pretty huge for a desktop. I dread having to move it for any reason. But I'll take the trade off of having a large machine for great performance.
