"Outdated" and "not the best available" are two COMPLETELY different things.  about 18 months ago I spent about $4k on a new computer.  I'm still cutting edge and even after 18 months, it's still only about 10% off of the bleeding edge technology.  You could put XP Media Center on it and it could serve your main HDTV based entertainment center on a 30" screen.  $10k for a full media center that's completely upgradeable isn't a bad deal at all.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Evan Labbe]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 23rd 2006 2:54AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Dell&#039;s $10K XPS Desktop]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2006/03/22/dells-10k-xps-desktop/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2006/03/22/dells-10k-xps-desktop/</guid><description><![CDATA[evan has a good point with a caveat.  i also bought a high end PC about 12-18 months ago... still leading edge as far as performance goes, no complaints.  I specced the PC I wanted building it myself part by part, vs buying the same thing from various sources, including the boutique high end PC sellers out there (voodoo, alienware, falcon, and a ton of others).  ending up buying pre-built from a smaller source, great deal, building it myself would have been only $150 or so cheaper, was worth it.  <br><br>what you're paying a premium for here is the latest edition graphics card and cutting edge monitor.  the LCD screens I was looking at the time were $1200+ for a good 1600x1200 LCD 20" at the time.  Dells 24-inch 2405FPW LCD is now available for like $800 with the new 2407 model out.<br><br>there's a gigantic amount of cost you could cut out by downgrading to even a 20" LCD... the package is basically a boutique item, targeting a PR release.<br><br>high end PCs last pretty well... the latest in graphics cards and monitors, much less so.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[kelly]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 23rd 2006 9:40PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Dell&#039;s $10K XPS Desktop]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2006/03/22/dells-10k-xps-desktop/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2006/03/22/dells-10k-xps-desktop/</guid><description><![CDATA[if you all went and looked at the newest and latest machines like ALX alienware starting 5,500 or the XPS 600 starting 3,400 while some voodoo machines starts with 6,000 , and all of them machines wont give you 30" or 4.26gh or even the quad 512 x 4 graphic cards. this machine can live atleast for 4 years untill you feel the need to put more rams or upgrade the CPU or even get the guad 1gb video cards lol. so i think 10k is a good investment for sure.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Nass]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 24th 2006 12:00PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
