Dell XPS 420 - Unboxing & Gaming

[Jeorney]

I used to have endless trouble with the hard drive being unrecognised, and unable to reboot. I constantlly ran the repair tool, which wouldn't always find a problem, until I wasted hours getting it to work. In the end, it was to do with the Raid 0 drivers that came with it. Then one day, I was prompted to download "Intel Rapid Storage Technology" and it fixed all my problems that the original ones couldn't. In the process of upgrading the PSU now to 650W to handle thelatest generation GPU's.

[ThreeLivesRemain]

How easy was it to set up? Did you just plug in & play?

[BloodyK1ll]

You always sucked

[cotyslick]

i custom build my pc and it looks and performs 100 times better than dell xps and like half the price

[aureliocertified]

What do you think it's better?

-512MB nVidia® GeForce® 9800 GT

-1GB nVidia® GeForce® 420M GT

[DarkPortalRogue]

@aureliocertified 1GB nVidia GeForce 420M GT. For sure.

[Wolftech14]

@aureliocertified is that Laptop graphics? if it is, then the 9800GT defreintly

[KiloMuthaphukkinKing]

Build Your Desktops, Buy Your Laptops

[FreedomDestiny1]

i bought the m15x

[DiDolRuChagi]

@TheRealDaftPunk Well the 9800GT in that build is very weak. If I were you I would pick something different.

[Adanedher]

In gaming laptops, Dell is good? Like XPS or Alienware.

[WTFISDEFF]

i would own you in CSS

[Solado]

@TheRealDaftPunk I would personaly recommend a slightly higher graphics card. For what you pay for a Nvidia 9800GT - you can get a step up for a little more money and get alot better results.

[welshe222]

not max settings lol look at the walls flickering = low settings and no AA

[ichmussfurzen88]

i got it.

today, it sucks....

[rlcteltshane]

Lol i love reading all the bad comments either jealous or trying to troll. And i have a 9800 its not all about the graphics card how much fps its the proccesor too i can run css like 24-30 with a 9800 i need a better processor so yea lmao.

[crownlyx3]

dude, build a computer..........

[EddieLolz3r]

harr harr your system is outdated also css sucks

[Randomkaoz]

i could only picture how much this system was over priced.

[MrGriffs]

retarded only 95-120 fps my pc gets twice that

[MrGriffs]

lol dell FAIL

[1ben1245]

lawl css deagle fail XD

[roman11777]

i meant.. the cs:s game..

[roman11777]

does it work on vista?

[fatboyuk3]

@roman11777 no pc works on vista

[roman11777]

@fatboyuk3

i was talking about the game, idiot.. and i posted that before i actually FOUND OUT the game works on my computer.

[alex47106]

noob

[NurwaY123]

Can I run Modern Warfare 2 on this computer ? :P

[FlyingAce1015]

You can run CS:S on a 9400 maxed out

this is not saying anything

[MihYtka]

not very impressive^^

[primetimesuspect]

nice dude. i have same system with one less gb of ram and a 5850 ati 1gb

[ballfire253]

Xps are great computer but my self I would build my computer so i can get top performance parts

[Solado]

Always build your own gaming machines - you will know what will go inside it - dell use cheap parts, lowest of range.

[games2007]

*computers are overpriced.

Also, saying you have a 9600 isn't much of a win in my opinion, and being able to run a 5+ year old game on high settings isn't either.

A 9800 GT is alright lol.

For $160 you can get a 5770 or a bit more for a Radeon 4870/4890 and run lots of stuff at max settings =3

[kill2565]

yea but i don't wanna get into the readon really

i'm okay with my geforce and i'm not saying that i'm awesome cause i can run css on high settings :D

lawl i don't even play css anymore but i do play games that are 3 months old XD

on high :D

[games2007]

Dell XPS computera re overpriced and gaming PCs from 2000 can run counter strike source you nab.

[kill2565]

duuuuude you are dumb as hell! and you say i'm a noob

don't you get it? i got a way better graphics card then you XD

oh and ahole if you don't know wtf is stfu it's shut the fuck up so that's what you should do right now

btw i didn't say he's graphics card is shitty it's awesome i just said something k?

[kill2565]

wtf you cock go to hell i got a 9600

now srfu already and live me alone

noob

[kill2565]

go fuck yourself i play css with high settings

lawl

[helldrag0n47]

crysis is a high demanding game right?

[brukernavn142]

dell sucks

try HP they are cheaper

therefor better

[xy274]

cheaper? no; i checked the prices. but dell breaks to fast.

[Germanboy567]

Yesh dell does suck my next PC is going to be a custom build.

[kill2565]

i get better fps in css on my geforce 9600 lol

[ProjectRealityBf2]

lmfao bs you get 90-110 fps in COD4 with the game maxed with full AA and AF, not even on 1280x1024 can a 9800GT get those kind of frames!

[ProjectRealityBf2]

dell is extremely overpriced for what you get, but the customer service is top of the line!

[WSrunna15]

Dell sucks ass.

[Jakouskie]

why?

[crofud]

sounds sort of like the band 12 stones

[gocaitygo]

I don't mind paying extra for Dell! I have a working and still using 1999 computer with single core and an original component. Dell are reliable and moderate in performance. I have the same computer as you do except mine is a dual ATI4870 :)

[qhoa1385]

Dell is crap

it's just like other brands

but you have to pay $100 more for the freaking "DELL" logo

[misteraznboy]

people get them because of customizability

[HCNguyen86]

Dells are okay if you must buy a pc or don't have time to build one.. and also if you are running a bushiness, but if it is gaming performance you are after then you are better off building your own pc.

[fiishywiishy]

actually its for a warranty. ill pay that premium

[CrackHamsters]

zomg i totaly have this comp and a 22inch monitor its amazing

[Andreas3228]

How well does the card do on Crysis!

[Wemox5469]

Friend have AMD Athlon 64 X2 5400+ 2,8 Ghz

Geforce 9800 GT

3 GB RAM

in css he getting 250 - 300 fps oO

[JonUhhThan]

they probably have different game settings.

[whlzdenis]

wow lol niceee

nothing else 0.o

[thiefxtalker]

wow almost same as my gateway except q6670 2.5ghz

[IceBlack406]

lol 120FPS in css looool i getting 300+FPS in css

[iizsmashgun]

dell sucks..i think ibuypower is better

[crysisen]

Try to look in the inside of an Ibuypower system ,look at the cable management ,it sucks ,you chose your computer not Dell .

[JustinR19]

it is....by far!

[khazuza]

I have a Xfx Geforce 9800gt n a sucky p4 3.0ghz n i can maxx those games so dont waste money if youre going to play cs:s ^^

[SRHawk24]

[chino95702]

[MADdrummer971]

helll ya

[19dollard]

What is this song??? (i like it)

[zreiscool]

you suck at counter strike

[xxAllNightLongxx]

I have this exact model, same things, I run my games off a WD My Book 1 TB... things get laggy

[DSiJanCarlo]

Should I get a Gaming Computer Or just get a PS3 And Upgrade my old PC?

[billigerfusel]

PC > PS3

[LostTheGaaaaaaame]

you should get a ps3, and upgrade your pc, you dont need a gaming computer, its cheaper to upgrade what you have already. ram and video and sound cards are the main things you wana worry about, unless you have an old CPU.

i dunno, work out the costs of upgrading (find what other people use for gaming on a pc) and put the price next to the priice of a new pc.

[splashy23]

Aight ;) ty for respond :)

[splashy23]

how long took it before it came? ive orderd the new xps 430.. but i dont know how long it takes :p how long did it take for you "SeanAssKicker" & "GTAVC4EVER"?

[SeanAsskicker]

depends where u live. I live in canada and they processed it in US so it took like 1 week

[LostTheGaaaaaaame]

It took mine 6 weeks, stupid, Dell are useless pricks.

Hope to god nothing goes wrong, cus you wont get anything useful out of them.

You know the xcelarator that comes with this? they didnt send it to me, and they made excuses and now just dont reply to my emails anymore.

[GTAVC4EVER]

i got 3 of these ^^ and 1 xps 730

[Knockdowneh]

lol rich much

[GTAVC4EVER]

well ... i would lie if i sayd i where poor

[Knockdowneh]

lol must be fun being rich eh?

[GTAVC4EVER]

its ok.. never tried being poor or less rich :P

[Knockdowneh]

haha i wouldn't either

[juzin94]

Dude i have the same comp. Does your Console command work in Crysis or any other games by Crytek and EA? Mine has only ever worked like 2-3 times.

[Shpritsy]

does it come with a built in wireless n card and whats the graphics card on this one?

[DSiJanCarlo]

Should I get A Gaming PC Or a ps3?

[touhid23]

Should go for PC, I think.

[JKswimmermko]

yaa pcc dekllllll

[teeznutz0]

I GOT BOTH but i bought the Ps3 first it was cheaper then i saved fro PC while i owned online ps3

[lifesarollercoster]

depends on how much money you make/have if you have alot of money then buy the ps3 because the games are expensive but if you dont then i would go for pc

[kr3wson]

PC.

[soldier4670]

you could get a gaming PC and the learn how to connect a PS3 to it. so you can play PS3 exclusives on a PC

[wilddrummer7292]

wasted ur money. couldve got 2x a better computer on tigerdirect.

[curlzboi]

why does everybody say these stupid comments.

what if you coudve gotten a better computer on whatever fucking site, your not just paying for the parts its a DELL same shit goes for alienware and voodoo pc ur not just paying for the hardware its the brand name man.

[miri2po2]

fuck  you!

Bitch you are a noob bitch fuck you!

[pierrerobi0]

Yo how much did it cost?

[BORNremedy]

i have the dell xps 430 and u dont see a difference just price?

[miri2po2]

i played that game a long time ago in full settings noobs

[kylar7]

stfu

[gigga97]

CSS on all high settings? HaHa

My calculator could run that game :)

great video though :)

5/5*

[TheMacHack]

my watch can play this game XD

[firepoisen]

tell me your steam name i add u to steam i got css 2 =P really good game

[xflarex54321]

i search this model up and it was pretty cheap

[KriegerDesHasses]

I'm about to buy this same exact model, except I'll probably buy the 9800gtx or hd4850. Regardless, thanks for the video!

Do you play any games on very high? How is the durability? Still running great?

[kainaussie]

go for nvidia

cause atai suxs

[Dodgerfan33]

dells do suck. My friend has one and after 1 month it just got fucked up. you should build your own or something. Dell is actually know for horrid customer service/support

[NassimosReturn]

Horrible customer service ?

They excel in that !

Anyway, it's true Dell aren't the best ones in durability. Got a Dell and after a few weeks, it started to have problems...

[Mehecanogeesir]

if theres a problem theres a solution

[Jammowns]

Yup, stop buying from dell :D!

[Mehecanogeesir]

lol..

i love my dell xps 420

its my baby :')

[gcACEgc]

Nice rig,Xps rocks ,

Btw building ya own system might be cheaper but what about reliability of parts

far better off going with a brand that stands by there product..

[Prettweasel]

Srsly stop saying that dell is bad because i have brought like 3 xps systems from them and all of my systems was quiet,fast,and reliable! i currently have a xps 420 and it is amazing! i like it and is only cost like $1200 which really isn't bad,i kinda fell like i ripped of dell! lol

[ramo1050]

to many ass hole dog dell the shit 100 times better then acer or hp nice setup bro check out mine i have xps also they rock...

[Dodgerfan33]

dell blows!! worst PCs ever made! GO with a good brand like ACER or HP dell sucks. I feel bad for you!

[123italiano321]

LOL, my acer pc was broken in 6 months when i still had warrenty, the proccessor died, acer told me litterally : "buy your own proccessor"

my gandpa had hp, its good...if you like a media center, hp isnt for gaming!!

[thefsxflyer]

THe funniest thing is that they have the exact same parts in them. Custom computers are better.

[Warbsky]

30-50 FPS in Crysis? GTX 295 in SLI struggles to make 50, so I doub't some shitty Dell could surpass it.

[NassimosReturn]

You know... the graphics card is Nvidia, nothing to do with Dell jackass

[psyfertech]

pretty nice, but dell is riping ya off because you can build your own system for about 800 bucks thats as good or even better than this one

[EditCrew]

idk about $800 but yeah $1,000 for sure. get a graphics card upgrade dude!

[psyfertech]

we just now ordered a dell studio for about 842 bucks with an intel core 2 quad, 6gb ram, 642gb hdd, 19" widescreen, and an ati radeon hd 256mb graphics card so i mean it would game pretty good and do just about anything else like fast as hell

[Jammowns]

Actually, the graphics card in that is pretty shitty.

So you'll now need to spend more money on a new one.

[psyfertech]

well yeah it is but im not like a hardcore gamer, and its true i might get a new graphics card

[NassimosReturn]

You hsould upgrade your graphics card thought cause you can get limited with the new games with only 256mb.

[psyfertech]

yeah i might later on, i mean right now im maxing out flight simulator and guidlwars and there is no lag or nothin so im good for those games, but on others like crysis and stuff i might be able to get by on half way

[Mehecanogeesir]

its 512 mb

i have the same EXACT config basically

except i got the 2.66 processor

500 gb HD

and 24" monitor (40% off so how could that go wrong)

and i got the normal keyboard/mouse but imma get the same u got pretty soon..

i love this pc. its my dream

so yeah lol

[dalpay4]

at 41 seconds i got a hard on just looking at it lol

[Shif7er]

9800 rlz

[Bomber125]

30-50 my ass.

[blueboy093]

[slipknotskate1]

u suck at gaming

[norcorider15]

wats the name of the song please?

[hambo221]

wat resoloution r u running wen u r playing crysis

[wombo194]

Im gunna use it for gaming, but i will be doing other stuff like internet, some multitasking, and stuff, so quad or duo?

I might get a duo because its faster and supported by way more games.

[hambo221]

well if ure gonna get any of the xps series from dells website, u cant choose to get core 2 duo, they only let u select quad proccesers, witch is shit

[wombo194]

first of all you cant spell and second, you can choose a duo, for only $20 more.

[SeanAsskicker]

quad then

[hambo221]

wat resoloution r u running wen u r playing crysis

[wombo194]

Hey should i get the 2.4 quad or a 3.0 duo core?

There both the same speed and duo cores are supported by a lot more games.

[wombo194]

quad has 4 idiot

[DoraStalker]

i like duo cuz most of the games i play crash with quad

[lukamotiv]

Can this tower play GTA IV with no fuss?

[Rice5phere]

High settings doesn't mean max XD and it doesn't mean max resolution, it all depends on your moniter! [I'm directing this at xXGokOuXx btw]! Nice gaming setup XD BETTER THAN MINE you quad-core owning bastard :P I only have a better G-card than you n that's all [GTX+] otherwise, your setup obliterates mine XD

[concise32]

whats the name of the song?

[SeanAsskicker]

yeah but not on max it lags a bit

[DoraStalker]

Quad-Core suck you should of got duo

[PyrosInTheMaking]

[Bedled]

375W

[xionic208]

[paultilev12]

omg that is amazing i cant believe how smooth it is

nice

[turok5011]

i thinkin about buying one of these.....does the standard system. no new video cards ect ...will it be good for games??

[SeanAsskicker]

it can run any games but dont expect that it can run on max settings.

[HeapsGoodStyle]

wtf the nvidia 9800GT with a CPU like that can play crysis max settings and get a frame rate of 30-40 FPS.

[SeanAsskicker]

is that good or bad?

[HeapsGoodStyle]

thats like excellent the human eye cant tell the difference after 40 fps

[SeanAsskicker]

end /sarcasm

[Orangutane]

60 fps **

[xXGokOuXx]

max settings? lol!!!! not even close :D

"max settings" is like 2560x1600, 16xAA & 16xAF.. not even 3x GTX280's cant handle crysis above 30fps on those settings..

[AppleAssassin]

yes

[SeanAsskicker]

Well.. just tell me what graphics card ur getting cuz it really depends on video cards.

I have Nvidia 9800 GT and Cod5 runs smoothly (max settings)

[mikeo179]

Hey Im getting a new comp im looking at an HP right now

Q6660

3GB DDR 2 SDRAM

9800GT. What do you think of it, your pc has very simular specs...

[SeanAsskicker]

yep it's a good pc almost similar to mine.. how much r u paying for it?
