Dell XPS 410 Review

I bought my Dell Xps 410 desktop pc back in 2005-2006.  I use both years because my wife bought it for me for Christmas.  I already had a brand mew flat panel screen, keyboard and mouse, and Logitech's 2nd finest Z-5300 PC speaker system.  So all I bought at the time was the CPU.  And here I am today, about 3 to 4 years later, and it still working like a charm.  Of course I have upgraded some components since them; I upgraded the RAM to 4GB, the graphics card to DDR2 512MB NVIDIA graphics ( Which hopefully in the near future, I will upgrade that even to a 1GB graphics card.) and I also upgraded the hard drive to 320GB 7200 RPM hard drive.  I even replaced my Logitech's Z-5300 spreakers with their #1 speaker system, the Logitech Z-5500 Speaker System.  Man this speaker system is the best.  But back to my wonderful XPS 410.  This computer really rocks still, even after all this time.  It is solid performing, extremely fast, quiet!  I had been contemplating about even buying a newer desktop, but I figured why? If this thing is still working as if it justc ame off the assembly line, then why mess up a good thing?  I also ditched the included wired keyboard and mouse and even the Microsoft wireless keyboard and mouse set that I had bought and was using, but just wasn't what I wanted. And I bought me the exceptional Logitech Easycall desktop wireless lazer keyboard, mouse, and desktop mic set. I hadn't used this desktop in quite some time because I have been using my laptops mostly.  And I didn't think to cover this stuff up.  But the other day I suddenly got the hankering to come to the basement and update it all and things.  And OMG, it was so dusty.  I worked on cleaning every little piece of my setup for like at least 3 hours.  I also went over my keyboard with cleaner and a rag and then q-tip swabs to get in the hard-to-reach crevices between the keys.  And so, after I was done, stepped back and looked, and behold! Everything looked as if I hasd just bought it and taken it all out of the box.  The desktop, the speaker system, the keyboard and mouse; everything.  I just couldnt do all the required updating un til I did the cleaning.  Then I started updating everything.  I am even using it now, as I am typing.  This desktop pc is and has been just such an extremely wonderful system. I had been considering selling it, but now that I have re-fallen for it, I know that I am going to keep it.  If you have a chance to get one of these fine systems, even now, I recommend that you do.  The XPS 410 is just strictly in a class all by itself.  Thanks for reading!
