  • I have this PC too, but not the H2C. In fact, its a 710 in a 720 case. The only thing I hate is that it uses a BTX motherboard, they didnt go ATX until the 730. I want to change the mobo but it requires a lot of modding, to fit a ATX board in there. I might just buy a junk 730 and see if the parts will swap, I normally build my own PCs but I fell in love with this tower!

  • @atebit80 same here bro, i built my own gaming rig, and don't believe in prebuilt gaming pc's, but this thing looks like pure hawt sex... Like, if they sold an ATX version of this case, i would rake together the money to buy it. Oh well, maybe i can get an old 730 case on ebay..

  • Even thought this is a dell boxed pc from 3 years ago, i still think it's fucking beautiful and the tech specs are great as well as the features even by today's standards, it's a good gaming rig, so it obviously was a BEAST back then. Did you get it for xmas?

  • pre-built PC's = FAIL get rip[ped off, generic piece of shit PSU.... the list goes on.

  • how much does that pc cost?

  • this is a mad song

  • nice rig.

    did you ever upgrade any of the parts?

  • They look fukin' SWEET! Only + for Dell...

  • i have a 710 QX6600, i am waiting for my Crucial Rams, same as yours. I am not sure about the voltage of my machine whereas, ballistix tracer is 2.0. Did you change the voltage or you left it on defaults ?

  • Would this be better?

    DELL XPS 630

    Intel® Core™2 Q9650 12MB,3.0GHz, 1333

    SLI 9800GT 512mb(pretty weak)

    4 GB SDRAM(Will up to 8)

  • lol @ dell trying to b "gaming" lol

  • @Patron1520 apart from that pc rapes you queer

  • i neeeeeeeeeeed that

  • I just sold my 720 H2C on eBay. I was sad to sell it, but it got me money towards my Alienware M17X (that I recently bought). But still. Shame to see it gone :(

  • I got the xps730 and I frigg'n love it. Love it!

  • nice rig bro, did you get your dell with a creative card in it? It was causing a lot of crashes on my 730.

  • beautiful =P

  • I'll f*ck that pc

  • Fucking SWEET! Hope to be getting mine soon :D

  • he paid for it. heh

  • just bought one of these myself.. 1000gb hardrive same graphics card as this bad boy and can clock up to 4.6 ghz.. and my parents think its for school work.. fooolllss!

  • hey themadman the song is;

    Groove Armada - The girls say

  • what did it score in vista rateing

  • wow sexy pc dell ^^

  • wats the name of the song

  • i got the same but a Q6600 2400 MHz And My case is Gray :)

  • Depends, I mean if you want raw power and expandability, the desktop computer is always the smarter option than the laptop, as the laptop can't really be upgraded beyond its RAM and hard disk. I would go for the XPS 420 but at the end of the day the decision lies with your personal prefrence.

  • lol,use the evga precision utility.. for a easy overclock.. you can adjust the fan speed that it would be running at the 30%(that happened with me) :S

  • i came

  • Who ever buys Dell is making huge mistakes. I did it myself (630i XPS). Low quality, mixed tortured motherboard by Dell using nVidia chipset, faulty sound, faulty fans, bad overclocking options, false ads. Yep. It's just a huge waste of money to buy Dell's stuff cause you're gonna be occupied by problems. I've had mine since day 1 and got no help at all. Can't even isntall XP cause you need drivers for SATA/RAID threw floppy drives which isnt even included. PM me if you have doubts. Its alot of$

  • you need sata/raid drivers for any install of XP, not just Dell computers...ffs!

    btw its your fault for buying a basic dell xps lol, gotta spend a lot of cash to get quality..aka 720, 730.

  • Yeah I know jackass. But who's idea was it not to add a floppy drive then and do all this stuff. And change x16 PCI slots to x8? I know I made a mistake which never gonna happen. And I am seriously trying to get ppl to see that Dell isnt a good solution ad all. Custom is the way to go.

  • Who the fuck buys dell's overpriced shit? Build your own PC and lots of money, goddammit.

  • overcloked at 600mhz(the memory clok)?? my 9600gt has it of 650 and 1800mhz of memory speed, maybe that párt is wrong, and my dell has a bestec psu, no a dell psu

  • urm, they are running 600mhz but that doesnt mean it is slower than a 9600gt at 650mhz.

    plus these beasts are in SLI i cant overclock much because of heat issues.

  • yes, also they are a few bigger than the 9600gt, there is a few diference in the shape...

    but i think that the 8800gtx is best than mine, ok thats for an intensive comparation

  • No problem dude, have fun with your cards. :)

  • drop the music in you video and you err good to go.

  • somone told me it lol so chill-out heared it from yahoo awnsers

  • duo care better for gaming

  • Nice comp. I got a Dell XPS 720 H2C myself the only thing different is my CPU is only 3.47 GHz. thinking about buying the one you have. For some reason idle my CPU temp is at 38C-42C idle and when i run Crysis i sometiems get a black screen. This is when i put the CPU at 3.2 GHz. idk what do do i i opened it up and put new thermal compound but dell can't do it right but didn't fix the problem

  • vista drinks anus juice im never goen back to it again

  • with raptors HDD, you are litterary are pay a dollor per GB.

    do research, you can find a HDD as good as a raptor for less

  • why are you telling me to do research when this is a factory made machine?

    I like Raptors anyway, they give great performance.

  • dell has intergred crap like the motherboard if a new cpu comes out you cant up grade you motherboard!! dell is poop on a stick!! dont be lazy build your own computer i build them for 10$ talk to me

  • yes you can

  • Doesn't Dell own Alienware now? lol

  • Yup they certainly do.

    Dell own a lot of things most people don't know about. Funny because Dell suck apparantly, let they lead the market in some many fields. They didn't even make gaming PC's five years ago and now they have the most successful PC gaming brand (XPS)

    So all you haters are pretty stupid to hate.

  • Ditto mate :)

  • tis tis tis..

  • DONT BUY DELL EVER!!!!

    Build a pc for a fraction of the price or buy Alienware. Just stay the fudge away from dell.

  • "dont buy dell but buy alienware" LOL. that is the stupidest thing ive ever heard. anyone who buys from alienware is just fucking retarded. they are so overpriced. if you really want to save money just order parts yourself and build your own pc.

  • except for that case, i'd buy that off dell if the they aqtually sold them seperatly

  • mayers, some people usually sell dell xps cases on ebay

  • dell make a much wider range of pcs wheras alienware are pcs designed for the hardcore gamer.

  • Alienware is owned buy dell GG.

  • pst the physiX cards are a waste of money if you have Nvidia 8800+ cards, They have built in Physics engines :P

  • is this suppose to be in black or silver? so far ive seen 2 versions, the one they sell here in australia is brushed aluminium and not piano black...its also got h2c

  • Oh yeh Birthday 1 week! Dell XPS720H2C For me baby!!!

  • What song is this?

  • I prefer the 720 case to the 730

  • i have this computer and its good for games really it is it may cost u 2000 dollars but still its worth it

  • the perfect machine to burn ur time ?

  • no the biggest waste of money of all time

  • where did you get your pc from.

  • How Much Was the Whole System???!!!!

  • like 5,000

  • can u please say what the song on start it, " you cant get up, you know you cant get up" or so

  • i see the new 730s have ati radeon. :shock:

  • It will feature Nvidia 9800GTX's.

  • DellBoi, you wait for new nividia cards, 99xx, its better than 9800, i wait one year and i wait for new grafhic cards

  • wait a year without playin games? is it worth it?

  • Nice rig man!! Check mine out if u want?..How come you bought a Dell? don't it cost alot more than building your own?

  • well dell isnt known for beeing cheap... but i dont think anybody can mach their customer service :P

    so yea... its worth puting a bit more money in it..

  • Today on Crave Dell is not making no more XPS gaming rigs why?

  • Why do I need a better CPU than a QX6850 at 3.73GHz?

    Just because it isn't THE fastest CPU doesnt mean it needs upgrading, thats just stupid.

  • Is it the most power full computer from dell ever?

  • When it was released, Dell had never offered a pre-overclocked CPU or a liquid cooled system...so yes it was.

  • this is a pretty good computer and all on paper, but when you buy Dell products, u are missing out on a lot of quality that you get when choosing your own parts, and also it is much more expensive when you buy a Dell as opposed to building your own

  • How did You manage to add the PhysX accelerator on it? When i tried to build my 720 H2C on Dell's site it said: "You have selected more PCIe cards than PCIe slots available" I didnt add anything other then Dual 768MB nVidia® GeForce® 8800 GTX. Everything else was base. No Dual hard-drives or nothing...

  • Must have been a mistake on Dell's end.

    It has enough room for two 2 lane graphics cards, a sound card and a physics card.

    I even have a free pci slot with the physix card installed.

  • all the ppl who r going, "why didnt you just make one yourself?". lol its actually more expensive is u check the prices on newegg and what happens if you do something wrong? huh, who you going to turn to? You would have to take is apart and send each part back to their manufacturers and go. "uuur i put ur product in my comp and it didnt turn on... can you check it?". They would probably send it back and say it was your fault.

  • y buy that piece of crap ? when you could get better performance and a faster system building it yourself... that's just noobstuffs!! and guys it's cheapier to build it by your own hands ;D haha..just to letting you know!! lol

  • core 2 extreme is better ;)

  • This is a core 2 extreme :)

  • So what it costs more money, I would buy a Dell XPS over any custom, any day!!

  • How can you afford that stuff? :P

  • you cant fukin get any of the xps on Windows Xp u tard "icygangsterX" thats one of the big down sides of this pc........not advising to get it guys (y)

  • Ah, you are wrong, I could of gotton XP on my 720 if i wanted!

  • Whats the Name of this Song ?

  • yh dude you have the ultimate rig now all you need is dual-screen monitors, that would be awesome :)

  • Well im thinking about getting a 24" Ultrasharp, but I can't afford two lol.

    Can I hook up a 20" and 24" or do they have to be the same size?

  • yup they can be any size :)

  • Thanks man

  • I got the 24" Ultrasharp as a free upgrade for my 720, and its a fantastic screen!! I think you can, cause I also want to try it, you have to go into the graphics card settings to do it.

  • The Video Guy 77 says :

    the only problem about that computer is taht it runs on vista its really bad (VISTA)

    You can get it on XP jackass.

    I wouldnt recommend it though.

  • name of the intro song? "that cant get up"

  • how much cost the pc ?

  • About a whopping 3K (USD) or 3,000 us dollars. But for this beast it costs probably 4-5K (USD)!

  • that case is badass

  • the only problem about that computer is taht it runs on vista its really bad (VISTA)

  • sick man ima go sli soon hey whats the song plzzz

  • more like RichBoi ;)

  • lol haha

    im not rich really, its just that I am an enthusiast. For example...my H2C is worth more than my car =D LOL

  • haha o well good on ya. keep up these good reviews

  • ur pc is awsome mate!

  • this PC is sick...i want it...to bad its pricy...but in satisfied with i have....

  • Thanks DellBoi for your advice. It was very useful. Watch my first video of my DELL XPS 720 H2C. :)

  • No problem man, glad to help out.

  • SONG!!! What song is this? its sick. Perfect song to along with a nice rig. Although I would prefer to build my own, a lot cheaper but if you have the money and want to spend it, then thats your business.

  • Thanks a lot for the nice comment man :)

    Its The Girls Say by Groove Armada :P

  • =D Awesome.

  • I have a question, how much does it cost to make one of these by yourself compared to buying it from Dell?

    Oh right, a hell of a lot cheaper.

  • you could have built it for much less than you bought it from dell and it would've been better.

  • Actualy ill cost more...my dad build one the with the same specs...and it came out to be like around 7000 i believe...it was insane

  • fuckin nice man

    how much did u payy 4 it ...?

  • £2,600 Pounds

  • If computers were countries that thing would be the United States (Ie it fucking owns)

  • Haha

  • I disagree, i think that computer is pretty good

  • damn i want a computer like that!!

  • my is better then yours dellboi when i get a cam i'll show you

  • I look forward to seeing it.

  • by the way how many monitors do you use? i use 3

  • by the way how many monitors do you use? i use 3

  • by the way how many monitors do you use? i use 3

  • by the way how many monitors do you use? i use 3

  • Would You Guys Say XPS Is Better Than AlienWare?

  • alienware helped make the xps almost half of the xps team is from alienware yes xps is better it looks better the down fall is because of the H2C it's hard to change the insides

  • Oh wow, Thanks a bunch! means alot.

  • Alienware makes only the cases and they only using NOT THEIR hardware (motherboard, cooling......) and DELL using their hardware (motherboard, cooling system) the DELL's hardware is better than alienware because, DELL useing newest technology, optimalization motherboard and cooling and desing... I recomen DELL.

  • They are owned by Dell.

  • and also .. 3DMARK06 17k ? uhh u can get that with an 8800gt with voltage mod single card ( 760 core ) and they should raid your HD also .. to give u higher speed

    and use 64bit vista/xp

  • I've since hit 20k with a more intense overclock.

    Also, yes a 8800gt probably would score similar at the crappy 3Dmark default resolution. Its when you start running HQ resolutions that this PC will putt away from the rest.

    I drop around 500marks from default to 1600x1200, so hardly anything. A 8800GT would be sweating at 1600x1200.

    My HD's are in Raid0 thanks.

  • All i like about Dell is their watercooling system ...

    i mean .. if u know how to build a computer , y would u get a dell ? custom computer are so much cheaper... and its not like DELL is a good brand ..everything has to be " DELL " PSU ETC .. and most of their stuff are made in China. ( they die in 2 years )

  • I guess thats why my Dell XPS Gen 3 (which is 5 years old) is still going strong and working flawlessly.

    Please, stop making random facts and figures up, its embarrasing.

  • Dell and Alienware both suck in my opinion... if you want a REAL computer BULD ONE YOUR SELF! You can get a computer for half the price and double the peformance... so if your a rich kid that mommy can fork over $4,000 for a computer that you can build for 2,500 then go for it. Its not me thats wasting the money.

  • This is the best PS I've have. I am statisfied with this PC. This system fly's, almost every game to date can be played at full resolution (1680 x 1050 stock monitor) with every setting as high as they can go. The only game that will play at about 30 fps is Crysis on Very High, the rest run at 60 fps, which is really nice. Amazing design and the size really makes it make a statement without even turning it on. The LED lights are pretty cool. H2C cooling works very well! I enjoy this computer :)

  • Could you upgrade it to DDR3 memory?

  • to answer your question, yes you can upgrade it to DDR3 memory =]

    i want this computer so bad... my dream computer

  • Yeah same.

  • psshhh, man dell cannot keep up with other gaming computers anymore i mean the 630 is ok buttt.... I mean dont they work with alienware or like Co-Own it, like hp and voodooo. Dell needs to release the most dominate gaming system i mean like TODAY, it needs to rise up some LADDERS!!

  • Dell own Alienware 100%.

  • voodoo sucks man, only noobs like voodoo cuz they saw an ad and said "Oooo, thats what I need to be ub3r l337"

  • did you overclock it?

    and??

  • Yeah, 4GHz, 4.33GHz...kinda started to die around here.

  • what song is that?

  • men about the noise is noisy

  • hey dellboi. it's arie. are you sure that it's a btx mobo. btx was a intel thing, not nvidia. i would check with dell.

  • Yeah, its a 680i BTX Edition.

    Its custom made for this system, Nvidia don't make retail versions!

  • Its not 680i, its 570i made of a cheaper motherboard than all the rest. The H2O cooling system that this has is worse than stock cooling. Check out all the reviews on dells site of this computer overheating with BSOD's.

  • Its a 680i.

    I kind of own one so I kind of know what I have...okay?

    The BIOS says so, the manual says so. The board itself says so....

  • Well, it being a 680i means it isn't future proof. Without Pcie2.0 you won't get the performance you'd want with future graphics cards when this computer starts to lag behind on you, and that will be pretty soon (probably within the next year or so). I mean come on, the 9800gx2 just came out! And even though you can still use it, being the pci 2.0 card it is, you still won't get it's full potential.

    But it's no big deal, if you upgrade your mobo to the 790i all you'll have to do is reformat.

  • Very true, but PCI/e 2.0 is a while off, no graphic card has even broke the 8x barrier let alone the 16 barrier.

  • Is it O.K. if I'm drooling?

  • Can u burn CDs too? Because I read u can't if u only have the Bluray combo or something like that.

  • Yeah I can burn CD's in the DVD drive :)

  • hey, can we have a 3 way sli 8800 ultra and a 8GB of RAM for the 720 H2C?

  • Yes we certainly can.

    We need to use a flexi-SLI bridge though, for the BTX chipset.

  • yes maybe it's a great pc, but dell have a big problem, now dell doesn't work with the QX9650, I want buy this computer but with the QX9650 and memory ram DDR3.

  • wow, nice comp the xps case is so awesome, whats that song btw?

  • Groove Armada - the Girls Say.

  • I can't wait to get mine.

    Cheers for the upload.

  • i love XPS :)

  • I HAV DE XPS LAPTOP

  • DellBoi, you have a BluRay rom? or what?

  • 1 BlueRay, 1 DVD RW

  • ew QX6850 ??? 65 nm is outdated man, get 45nm QX9650, the 720 H2C cost $7,000 and all you get is outdated 65nm, it needs 45 nm Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9650

  • Ew QX6850?

    So I guess the 99% of processors below it are ew to you then?

  • Its just that for $5,000 or 3000 pounds you would expect the best and latest technology and QX9650 is currently the best and you cant get that
