I'm considering getting the Dell Dimension 8300 desktop with 3.06GHz, 512MB DDR, the ATI 9800 (non-pro it seems), 4x DVD RW. After coupons and rebate it will be like $1300 delivered.
The strange thing is that it lists it only has a 250 watt power supply--in fact all of there desktops are 250 watt (with no options). How does this jive with the recomended minimum 300 watt power supplies for modern video cards?
The 9800 is listed as running at 325MHz. I know this isn't a Pro model, but I imagine it would be pretty nice.
Anyone have experience with this type of PC?
Thanks,
Steve
