Dell See Sense, Swap Money for Tech
My Dell XPS 420 order has now been cajoled back into life.
I ordered it online 01-02 and got the official order confirmation 11-02. Not exactly speedy.
In anticipation I did some research about the XPS 420. A fair few people have issues with raid configurations other than Raid0.
My machine is a single 500gb in Raid0 so I should be fine.
Most people describe the XPS 420 as the quietest computer they have used (bodes well.)
I didn’t go OTT with the Spec
Quad Core 2.4 / 3gb Ram / ATI Radeon 2600XT
Now I don’t play games but I do watch Hi-Def so the Radeon 2600XT with it’s onboard HD video processing is going to be sweet and it helped keep the cost of the machine down.
No doubt I will be creating a few posts about the XPS 420 so I have created a category for it.

What a great relief to stumble accross Colin’s website and this post.
I am about to format and install Windows XP Pro on this machine and dispense with pesky Vista.
Thanks also to Colin for his assistance when I telephoned him for advice!
