Haswell is now here! Dell updated their XPS desktop line up from 8500 to 8700 series, now with the 4th Gen Intel Haswell processor. Comes with a meh GPU but you can always upgrade. Core i5 version is $100 less at $650, which is a pretty decent deal too as an initial gaming desktop setup. Looks like Dell got their game together as all of them are labeled to ship as soon as tomorrow 6/5.

If you've been waiting for XPS 8700 4th Gen Haswell bundled with an Ultrasharp monitor, this is your lucky day. Dell now has the U2312HM IPS panel 23-inch Ultrasharp bundled with the base i7-4770 desktop, significantly cheaper than if you were to buy this separately (considering the U2312HM still goes for ~$200 on the market).

$650 priced 8500 XPS Desktop deal is now back. Its been well over 6 months since this deal was available. While you're getting a fairly weaksauce 7570 HD, you can easily remedy that by slapping in a 7850 HD for less than $200, making this a series gaming desktop.

Does this box can take 4 x 8gb ram? Dell sites claims that the total memory can "provided" is 16GB. and Crucial.com shows, it can handle 32gb ram. I bought one in Jan and had 2 x 4gb replaced with 2 x 8gb ram and works fine now, but I have not tried to add additonal 2 x 8gb. If anyone runs 4 x 8gb with no issue, please share. I reason i need to have more than 16gb is that I need to run SQL Server with SSIS... thanks,
Dell's own specs say 32 gigs ( ftp://ftp.dell.com/Manuals/all-products/esuprt_desktop/esuprt_xps_desktop/xps-8500_Reference%20Guide_en-us.pdf )

Thanks for chiming in SHW. Looks like 32GB is the max. "Provided" sounds a bit vague and it might be safe to assume that they meant that in terms of how much RAM you can order when you customize your system.

Dell is really throwing some interesting deal curve balls at the market this Black Friday & Cyber Monday weekend. This config with a smaller hard drive was advertised at $699 on Black Friday, but you can now get it for $20 cheaper with an extra terabyte too. A decent deal to consider.
Had me almost sold till I saw Windows 8.

Can't have everything.
Whats wrong with Windows 8?
is this good for gaming

This XPS 8500 desktop at Dell now $31 cheaper than Dell claims it will be on Black Friday. A week ago the lowest price ever was $780.
where is coupon code to use it for this discount?

looks like the extra $31 discount died and its back to $699, still a great price though

Dell Home is running a "3 Days of Deals" sale this week on select PCs. Among the ruff is this Dell XPS 8500 desktop w/ Quad Core i7-3770 and 23" Dell Ultrasharp LED Monitor combo for $800, free shipping after coupon. That's the lowest price ever by $17 and and $100 off the usual $900 combo price tag.

You gotta love it when coupons stack together when it shouldn't (or should?). XPS 8500 with Core i7 and a 23-inch Ultrasharp IPS panel for only $817. This is the lowest the combo has ever been add. First coupon takes $60 off the desktop, second coupon takes $23 of the monitor. Both stacks with instant savings. Score!

Cheap desktop + monitor combo from Dell. The XPS 8500 desktop with Ivy Bridge Core i7-3770, Radeon HD 7570, 8GB RAM + 23" LED monitor drops to $840 after a new $60 coupon code. That's a new low by $10 - beating out the previous low of $850 last seen on Black Friday. Normally this combo goes for $900 and up.
(Feb 1 2013) Why do all the deals have Win 8 ? it's horrible ! I begged the Dell reps to let me have Win 7 on a previous deal and they couldn't do it :(

If you get past Metro it isn't all that bad but then again I haven't upgraded to Windows 8 myself too so I probably shouldn't defend it... there are rare deals with Windows 7 still but those are odd-ball inventories. All the OEMs are on Windows 8 now, whether they like it or not. Le sigh.
Dell does have Win 7 (custom), but all the deals I can find on beefy CPUs only have Win 8. MSFT blew it with Win 8 - just read the reviews at AMZN or NewEgg. I can't wait for an Android OS for PCs to come ...
Base price went up slightly, but they extended this coupon til the 27th...just used it and upgraded to a Ge 640 card. With financing, less than 100 bucks a month...can't beat it.
If you don't care about 4th Gen Core i7 Haswell but you need a new computer anyways, the 4th Gen Core i5 is a good alternative. At $650, you still get the latest processor and you save $100 vs paying out for the i7-4770 (vs the i5-4330 in this config). That hundred buckeroo can be spent towards a better GPU. Win-win.
