Personal opinion........way overpriced. Plus it's a Dell. If you HAVE to buy a desktop, I would stick with a Dell being that they suck less than most others. But you really need to build a desktop. Can do it much cheaper, plus you build a much better machine.

Edit: Build one, or have one built for you of course

fwiw, I administer quite a few GX620's at work, haven't had a single problem yet.

 

[BuckStocksHere]

I definitely like th 4G of memory - that is sweet.

Good to know there have been no problems with the machines you administer..

I might just take out the video card and replace it with something higher end since this will be used for high end illustrator uses and other graphics intense work stuff.

Sweet jebus 4 GB of memory? 2 GB is a lot for a windows system...why 4? Also the video card won't matter jack when it comes to 2D applications like Photoshop or Illustrator. Even if you're doing 3D rendering it won't matter too much unless the program has highly detailed real-time previewing. An X600 more than enough.

 

[BuckStocksHere]

It's both for illustrator type stuff and mapping software...that is HIGHLY detailed...takes a long time to generate

Hey 4 GB is just what it comes with standard.... who am I to complain!!!

 

[rocketman]

Ok, fair enough. Won't be slow, thats for sure!
