[QUOTE="Dave_W, post: 218347, member: 9521"] That's basically the computer I'm using and it works GREAT with the huge files my D800 creates. I have the XPS 8500 from CostCo I love the speed of the SS drive, my computer boots up in approx 6 secs., it came with the i7 - 3rd gen (the 8700 has the i7- 4th gen chip), a 32 gig SSD and a 2TB HD, a full version of Office, blue-ray (which I doubt I'll ever use), card reader, etc. When I built the same system on Dell.com it rang up a solid $700 more in price. I even went so far as to call Dell and talk to the salesperson and ask directly why they can't even come close, let alone match CostCo's prices. They couldn't come up with a reason. And what's better is the box has a slot for an additional HD. I just put in a 3 TB Western Digital "Black" HD. And there's more than enough USB ports to gag a horse, both 2.0 and 3.0 ports. So in a nutshell, I can't say anything bad about this computer....yet. ;) [/QUOTE]
