MY DELL XPS 720 UNTAMED BEAST!!!!

[skiddyyy]

crap rig....me alienware m17x r2...simply the best..

[channeleightyfour]

Dude.. Ive been looking everywhere I can think of.. I thought it would be easy but I just cant figure out how to play with the LED light on the front.. Where do I go to access the controls. Help? anyone ... o.o

[mygaffer]

You have ONE decent thing in that mess you call a computer system, and that is the sweet 30" 3007wfp-hc. Why did you buy a POS XPS when you could have put together a much better system yourself?

[SeikoPsycho]

whoa didnt realize i posted so many times. stupid youtube~!

[hornieharrie]

@SeikoPsycho well here in washinton heights they take all kind of payments!!!!!! because the economy is really bad up in this bitch, lol

[SeikoPsycho]

lol i thought food stamps are for food only??

[theiceman0700]

might be outdated, but good computers from 2-3 years can still run crysis easily

[ddbd]

its not out dated, got navida website, pik any game and it will tell u whether ur pc is equiped to play it, i have xps 720, and it ranks right at the top end passed minmum requirements, passed what navidia reccomend.

[dohgustav]

i have 3100, it can do youtube and cs, wow lol i best.

[tazukii]

it will all be out dated in less than a year.... but hey thats cool.

[hornieharrie]

IT IS already outdated, 5 months ago I bought a XPS 730H2C, and it's already getting outdated.....That's how quick electronic gets  old...

[spawnhell809334]

@hornieharrie u son of a bitch its not outdated.. go fuck yourself

[Tdunks1876]

How did you organize the light show with the front panel LED's? I have the XPS 720 too.

[hornieharrie]

There is a software call quickset that will allow you to play with the light settings....let me know when you get it...

[dsolash]

how much did you pay for this?

[hornieharrie]

$800 on EBAY

[dsolash]

hehe nice.

[JamieMckinley]

ive also got the xps 730 ... with a 30 inch samsung tv

rocks::

[Omellykim]

nice

[hornieharrie]

well, it was nice once, until i got the xps 730 h2c...

[Omellykim]

o snap even better

the only issue i have is how the motherboard is placed on the xps series like it is places on the reverse side where the cpu is on the bottom and the vid card is on the top this is good i suppose but most vid cards get hotter then the cpu so it would be bad placement o well

any way nice pc you mad man

[ONETIME1962]

dont listen to all the negative coments they just JELAOUS!!!! hahahah

[hornieharrie]

WELL, if you have anything that have a better score than 1586 on 3DMark 2006 1.0.2 then you can talk, if not, shut up....

[leefost]

at the time it was amazing but now its pretty average. fast moving technology sux :(

[hornieharrie]

I remember when this machine was one of the best, but I moved up to a XPS 730 H2C,

Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q9550 @ 2.83GHz Determined by lowest subscore

Memory (RAM) 4.00 GB 7.3

Graphics NVIDIA GeForce GTX 280 6.6

Gaming graphics 2302 MB Total available graphics memory 6.6

Primary hard disk 57GB Free (79GB Total) 5.9 VELOCIRAPTOR 300GB

[n11lc]

you call that DELL, a beast?

[vlekkietwinnie]

Pretty cool a intel core 2 duo quad 6600....

[MaxTheMasterful]

Everyone knows you get ripped off for buying a pre-made gaming system.

[ONETIME1962]

are you saying it from a poor man point of view? hahaah

[mittenmantotheman88]

You wasted food stamps on a factory-made Dell? Wow.

[hornieharrie]

It's ok, the welfare line wasn't long at all, I was in and out in 23 minutes flat...

[chromechief]

lol ill have to do it in ma phone aint got a gd video camera lol :D

[hornieharrie]

believe it or not i always use a SD950 canon, photo camera...most cameras will record video

[chromechief]

wow, lol the best camera ive got is this shitty 2mp 1 won from a competiton lol.

[mannyfit75]

I have a Digitalstorm i950 Intel Core i7 Extreme 965 overclock at 3.6 Ghz, 12 GB of RAM, 1 TB, 2 Nvidia 280 GTX SLI mode, and Creative Labs X-Fi Soundcard..The motherboard is an ASUSTeck P6T Deluxe

[hornieharrie]

sorry, bro, but this is for poor people like me, you will make my PC looks like a toy, you are heavy weight, we just feather weight...

[mannyfit75]

I'm just an average gamer.. I do like your Dell XPS 720. I have a Dell laptop XPS 1710. Other than that, I have Dell LCD Monitor 24 Inch and Logitech Z-5500.

[hornieharrie]

you call that average, I call myself average, I can not buy your system with foodstamps, so i have to settle for less....lol

[JAydUBr6]

Actually it's a 710 sorry.

[hornieharrie]

hey bro, i'm telling you right now, you will not sleep for 2 days, that beast will keep you up all night...

[JAydUBr6]

lol I know I can't wait man, I'm even driving 6 hours to LA just to pick it up. They have a couple they said I could choose from. They are going fast, some guy bought 40 from them and I think there is only like 3 left so I came just in time.

[JAydUBr6]

It's got a 8600 nvidia card, but I have a 8800 waiting for it also. Intel core 2 duo, 160 gig HD 2gigz of ram. I can't wait to game on this monster!

[jamie6747]

4 gig on 32 bit how?

[hornieharrie]

Vista SP1 will show you the whole 4gb

[hornieharrie]

and by the way, do a search on youtube of people who buys a Digitalstorm i950, and take a good look at the background in the house they live in....and you will see what i mean

[JAydUBr6]

And I got it off EBAY as well.

[hornieharrie]

thats where you find all good deals

[xPH3N0Mx]

Correct! I purchased my XPS 730, less than 2 months old, on eBay with a 3 year warranty. The same pc on Dell would cost over $2000 and I paid $1100.

[chromechief]

damn nice system, thats outta my league but damn overclock that extreme more, that thing is a overclocking monster 4ghz easy with good air cooling

[hornieharrie]

you see, i have the H2C watercooler from dell, but every time i try to set 4ghz, the windows vista crash on me...

[vlekkietwinnie]

try getting it on on 3.6ghz 4 is way to much

[xPH3N0Mx]

The Q6600 cannot achieve 4ghz even with liquid cooling. If you want to hit 4ghz, upgrade to the QX9650 or QX9770.

[xPH3N0Mx]

Digitalstorm is overpriced. You've been screwed. You could built that same setup for way less than you paid, guaranteed!

[chromechief]

easy mate what clock is ur cpu as u might be able to hit somewhere round 18k i could if it wasnt for this stupid 975, but no point upgrade now, i7 is here lol

[hornieharrie]

i'm clocking 3.46GHz with the quad core

[chromechief]

yep i know what u mean, im a budget gamer myself but keep with the tech my system is ok could be faster with a bit more tweaking but need a new mobo current spec q6600@3ghz fsb wall,4gb ocz ram,2x 160gb hdds in raid 0,dfi infinity 975x/g mobo, 2 x ati 4850 in crossfire, a coolermaster ammo case corsair tx 650 psu, got atm 19" wide but going to one of them samsung 22" touch of colour ones. overal the system pumps 16,246 in 3dmark 06, 29th on ebuyer score chart,n my fav pice overall my razer lycos

[hornieharrie]

WOW, nice set up, before, with the 8800gt my score was 13 something, now with the new video card and the phisx card, i might hit the 15, maybe....

[hornieharrie]

wow, that Razer Lycosa lloks sick.....make a video

[chromechief]

well just to tell yeah the nvidia gpu now have physX on gpu now lol but i deffo agree with the peeps who say build ur own is best, u save shed loads of money and get better parts, as for the xps case well what ever floats ur boat i guess but tbh its stock, a cm haf, antec 900-1200 ,cosmos s, cm stacker, or the silverstone tjo7 would give ya far better cooling performance wise n they do look nicer:D watercooling in the tjo7 would look awesome :P

[hornieharrie]

you see i have to rock with the instruments i have, I know this little set up will bring me joy for a few months, UNTIL I get more foodstamps to buy a better system, YOU know what i mean???

[chromechief]

one of the lucky ones then lol but yeah sli should do you fine btw make sure u got space for the extra length, the 280 is quite a bit bigger than the 8800gt n 4870. 12.5inch

[hornieharrie]

well, i don't know if you have seen a xps 720 case, but this is is 22 inches tall, and i could install a 14 inch card, i am not exaggerating when i tell you that this is a beast, oh, and i forgot to mention the CG579 Dell Physx Pci Physics Card

[chromechief]

just a little additive what ever card you get, because of that screen your gonna need well over 1gb of graphics memory with it. I'm gonna use a bad example here but take crysis at 1280/1050maxed out thats uses 1.1 gb of memory on the buffer, and thats at low res just some more food for thought

[hornieharrie]

but i'm going to be alright with this new card, right???

[mannyfit75]

Get Nvidia 280 GTX or 285 GTX

[hornieharrie]

well, on 1-19-09 i will install a gtx 280 that i bought on ebay, see how much i paid, here is the item number 280300213469

[chromechief]

are you planning to do a gtx 280 sli or tri sli?

[hornieharrie]

well for now is just 1, then, i will get a second one

[chromechief]

ok with one i think ur gonna be dissapointed, ur onyl gonna get a lil boost from ur 4870 but 2 should see good performance margin in sli supported games. just remeber though with sli u gotta mess with the crappy nvidia mobos :S

[hornieharrie]

well believe it or not this mobo is made by nvidia, and is sli ready.... even the memory is sli, even my memory is made by nvidia..

[hornieharrie]

i have to make a new video with all the upgrades i have, i have a H2C water cooler, faster memory, better video card...and a quad core chip

[hornieharrie]

well, this is a old video, and the 8800gt is my old card, right now i'm frying with a ATI HD4870, but that was a mistake too, since i'm doing to trial and error, now i have my eyes on a GeForce 9800 GX2, what do you think????

[chromechief]

your gonna need way more that a 4870/9800gx2 to get decent maxed out res/setting for that screen. look in the direction of 4870x2 or gtx 295, possibly even getting into quad crossfire/sli relms.

[crazycake93]

AMAZING set up with the logitech surround i got the same system as you, only thing bad about ures is the gfx card if u can afford everything else why didnt u get a 768 8800gtx?

[AparoidX]

Hardly what I'd call a beast... the only thing that stands out is the hard drive space.

[hornieharrie]

WELL, if you have something better, i will be glad to see it....

[AparoidX]

Hey, I didn't say mine was better. I'm just saying the specs in your video info are not what I would call beastly, aside from your hard drives.

If it was updated that might have prevented confusion.

[hornieharrie]

well you see me, i only criticize if i have something better, do not throw stones, if you house is made of glass

[hornieharrie]

and besides, the 8800gt is the best card for the price....

[hornieharrie]

if you going to come to me with what i saw in your video, don't even bother, you just created a franklin stein with all of those different parts, while you are crawling, i'm running marathons, at least you admit on your video that you are a broke beginner.

[hornieharrie]

while you have 600w psu, i have 1000w psu, 1 GL dvd, i have 4 GL dvd, 4gb corsair, i have 4gb nvidia sli, 4 led fans, i have 1 dell H2C water cooler, what you call a gaming, my 5 year old call it a gaming pc, the only thing she doesn't have is a 600w psu.....and lock your door when you are making a video....and watch your fingers...

[nutsbuttkicker]

you said you wanted to see my scores for a comparison, so how do i send them to you?

[hornieharrie]

take a picture of your screen and send it to evoljay at hotmail

[nutsbuttkicker]

lol..... also 5.6 is the highest vista score possible, unless they fixed that and I'm not aware

[hornieharrie]

no, the highest is 5.9

[nutsbuttkicker]

how do i send you my 3dmark06 scores? lol

[hornieharrie]

no, please keep it in a safe place, and don't let anyone see it....lol

[derekk1220]

i don't want your pics the fact is that any gaming computer from any manufacturer is overpriced come on i think we can agree on that

[hornieharrie]

yes, you are right, but i would love to see your 3dmark06 score, can you show me that?????

[derekk1220]

all i have is a piece of crap 5 yr old one i have but i'm savung money for a Core i7 system

[hornieharrie]

i thank you for your honesty, i just wanted to know what was that system that you mention that was faster than mine, like many out there

[hornieharrie]

i speak with prof, i hope you do the same

[nutsbuttkicker]

my pc was about 1600 all together it and blows yours away, nice job wasting all your hard earned cash

[hornieharrie]

ok, very simple, send me the file or a picture of a result of a benchmark test like 3dmark06 or any benchmark you use i want to see for myself, and i'm not wasting my money, it's welfare money from the government.....my email is evoljay at hotmail dot comm

[hornieharrie]

my email is evoljay at hotmail, i will reply to you with mine pictures

[derekk1220]

wow how much did you pay for it all

[hornieharrie]

well, here is the details: xps 720=$600, h2cooler=$200, 4gb ram=$35, each (4) 1000gb HD=$120, 3 DVD writers=$50 each, dell 30 inch screen=$850, logitech speakers=$255, Physics Card=$60, Diamond ATI HD4870=$149 and enjoyment, skills, proudness of creating one of the baddest beast out there.....priceless

[derekk1220]

so like $2800 dollars and how old is this

[hornieharrie]

well i finish this project on feb 2008, it feels very good building something like this, i have sold 3 of this , because when clients come to my home, they want it, but just the cpu only, i sell them for 1000 without the extras, just the basics, with 2gb ram, 500gb hd, regular video card, ect...but you know you be able to upgrade forever without haveing to change the monster case, cause everything is upgradeable

[derekk1220]

hmmm 2800 dollars for that system 8 months ago i'll give you the benefit of the doubt i'll take 800 dollars off that and build a computer that can beat that one. Q9550-$319, 8GB 1066MHz-$120, 300GB 1000RPM(Vista and programs)-$200, 1TB-$110, Rampage Formula-$290, 4870x2-$500, DVD Burner-$30, 1000W-$190, Antec 1200-$160. that comes up to $1919 $800 less and a much better system

[hornieharrie]

well, did you see where the money went???? is in the case, this stuff looses value everyday, 8 months ago you couldn't get most of the stuff you mention for that price....and if you have something better send me a pic of 3dmark06's results

[hornieharrie]

my email is evoljay at hotmail, i will reply to you with mine pictures

[mantomandefense]

that pc must have an extremly high clock speed!!!

[hornieharrie]

Oh, not really, it's only running at 3.7GHz (stable) when I over clock it....

[111thMuse]

howd u get your lcd lights to do that?

[Thewright43]

gotta love those food stamps

[arnedodepedo]

ohh very good.you have a nice pc

[hornieharrie]

THANK YOU VERY MUCHO!!!!!

[FARTTUB3LOL]

where do u live so i can steal your xps.

[ribix]

ok the theme music is killing me, anyone remember who this is, i could have sworn it was in the matrix...

[jamesdfrench001]

Breathe - The Prodigy

[ONETIME1962]

I agree with you. Look at my video games at ONETIME1962

[cbluvsedith]

this foo! got the same speakers as my uncle jajaja and we live in a poor community called the Imperial Valley jajaja :P

[hornieharrie]

The advantage of living where your uncle live is that you can blast these speakers and your neighbor won't be bother, it will take me Driving directions to Imperial Valley

2,683 mi about 1 day 16 hours to get where your uncle live

[hornieharrie]

WELL, no, but I could use it to make money to buy food....

[roberthehn]

So are you saying you can use a DELL XPS 720 as food?

[hornieharrie]

WELL ,SINCE I have a little knowledge about electronics, I found the cable that turns on with the HDrive and i added a additional LED

[DellBoi]

Please explain what you've done with the lights its confusing me!!! lol

welcome to the XPS club.

[hornieharrie]

DUDE, as long as my customers like it, I'm fine with it, cause when they get wet when they see it, I sell them one, so if they happy, I'm happy...

[elchessboy0wnzU]

Dude..these systems are not all that! They noisy as FUK! they weigh a TON and they SUCK to replace anything on...such as motherboard or power supply!

[grantsin7]

How do you get your LEDs to flash?

[hornieharrie]

there is a software called dell quickset, also you can use ntune...from nvidia

[bobalinapee]

4TB WTF!!!!!!!

do you really need that?

[hornieharrie]

WELL, It doesn't hurt to have it, is like a gun, you don't know when you are going to use it, but is good to have, plus, this is my media center, I have 1 HD with 232 DVD quality movies, 1 HD with 48000 mp3's, 1 HD with tons of software, and 1 HD thousands of video clips of x stuff, all this is link to my DVD wirelessly, and my 2 other PC's

[cbluvsedith]

my cousin has double the number of mp3s as u have jajaja and it has about 2000 or more virus from limewire jajaja freakin' limewire! high risk of viruses :P

[OllieLocker]

I'd rather have a Mac Pro and get 32GB ram

[hornieharrie]

NOT a bad idea, and not a bad machine, but I don't get enough foodstamp for me to buy one...

[hornieharrie]

shhhhhhh, I put it in there....

[dkt3wings]

since when did dell have the led's in the middle bottom?

[hornieharrie]

the only problem is that I don't have $5,000 dollars

[matz951]

If I were you I would have saved my money and bought a new Voodoo Omen desktop.

[bigj2588]

Holy crap 4TB of storage? =|

[janko001]

I want your monitoooor! :D

[ph4741i7y]

=D wicked pc ty for the vid response

Plz subscribe =]

[hornieharrie]

Just for gaming, graphics like CS3, and as a movie and music server...

[peterc1]

this computer is great for gaming but seems alot better if this is used for graphic art for your amount of room, cpu cache, ram, thats insane amount of space. but that's all up to you to use it for, what do you use it for?

[joshabreu12]

cool

[hornieharrie]

IS INCREDIBLE WHAT YOU CAN BUY WITH FOOD STAMPS FROM THE GOVERMNENT.....

intel Core 2 duo Q6600(8MB L2 cache;2.4GHz;1066FSB

4GB Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 800MHz

HD 4x 1000GB=4000GB

nVidia GeForce 8800 GT 512MB

Dell 3007WFP-HC 30" Ultra-Sharp LCD

Logitech Z-5500 5.1 Speaker System

LINKSYS N DUAL BAND WRT600N...

This is my little beast that I just bought to match my 30" monitor and my sound system, please excuse my poor video skills, it's my first...i'm open for critics....

[mannyfit75]

Your PC is still pretty good and it could play any top of the line games.

[hornieharrie]

thank you, but you see, all you need is time, why time? because i get very good deals on ebay, but you need time to watch those auctions...and u need to know who you are buying from....lots of time i don't get the items because i win them in a dirty cheap price, and the seller don't want to send them...

[JAydUBr6]

I just got my XPS 720 non H2C $520 ! I'm picking it up Friday, can't wait.
