watsonte Posted August 9, 2006 Posted August 9, 2006 This is nuts....http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/product...34&sku=A0539066 Coming from Dell, you could expect a higher price but that price is insane....Hell SLI would cost you more than some entire rigs (with SLI)....

watsonte Posted August 9, 2006 Posted August 9, 2006 My favorite thing of all though...You will probably have enough time to pay off the credit card bill before you get the card....it usually ships in 6+weeks, you got a month to earn the $800 to pay for the damn thing...and thats before you would even get the card....

SanguineI Posted August 9, 2006 Posted August 9, 2006 Thats hilarious! I've dealt with dell only once before because I needed a laptop for school and they will definitely try to sell you stuff. You have to be very aggressive at refusing stuff they want to sell you to make them let it go. I needed a simple laptop and since I have 720GB of storage on my main rig and the laptop is just for school documents, the stock 20GB drive was enough. The woman on the phone phrased it so that she made it sound like they will NOT let you into college without at least a 40gb drive :mad: I told her to let me worry about the parts of my laptop and that if I decided to get a larger hard drive later, I'd get it from newegg for a reasonable price Dell gaming has always seemed like kind of a joke to me.

Anospa Posted August 9, 2006 Posted August 9, 2006 Love the way they price stuff. They'll give you cheapo parts for high prices, and if its a good quality part, they'll charge about twice the normal price for it. And you gotta love $20 USB printer cables and $40 USB floppy drives.

cuoficr Posted August 9, 2006 Posted August 9, 2006 Lol they list the 7950 for 682 > Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SanguineI Posted August 9, 2006 Posted August 9, 2006 Sure, you could get the 7950 for less, but that will suck because you won't get to wait 6 weeks for it to ship Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
poopshotgun Posted August 9, 2006 Posted August 9, 2006 We had a Dell engineer stop by to help with a Poweredge 2950 we're testing. He sez Dell bought Alienware, which was total news to me. So in a sense Dell and gaming isn't exactly a joke, although Alienware is like the company I work for: Subsidiary and independent to the larger corporation. Alienware doesn't sell the cards seperate so I can't compare prices Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anospa Posted August 9, 2006 Posted August 9, 2006 Ya, that acquistion happened awhile ago. Think its just Alienware is owned by Dell now, but still doing their own thing, didn't seem like Dell was encroaching upon them too much or anything.
