Finally made it back after the passing of my photo computer. I have now finished mourning its passing and replaced it with a younger, more vibrant model...

You can easily tailor them to your needs too, nice touch is it came with a memory stick on velcro inside that had all the software on so you could reinstall from it.
I used to use Dell but found they tended to go off piste in their designs meaning upgrading boards etc could be fraught with difficulties as they used in house items.Canon 1DX, 50D, EF500 F4.0 L, EF100-400 f/4.5-5.6L I , EF100-400 f/4.5-5.6L II, EF70-200 f/2.8L II, EF180 f3.5L Macro, EF 24-105 f/4L, EF17-40 f/4L, EF2.0X III, EF1.4X III, 430EX II, MR-14EX...

I looked at the Dell5680, in fact still looking and wondering between that and some others. Waited as I thought there might have been one in the fire place Christmas morningTrev

Re: Finally Back...
Problem as said with Dell is you tend to be stuffed on upgrades as they use Dell components that nothing will fit, mine i couldnt even change the motherboard as the mountings were different, and a lot of the plug ins, lights, controllers, power, buttons etc would not fit to the board. fine PC, but life limited. Though they do price well.

Use to work in IT and can confirm Dell use a lot of customised components which can make upgrading/repair problematic.Canon 5D3, 7D2, 60D, Canon 70-200L f2.8 IS II, Canon 300 f4L IS, Canon 16-35 f4 L, Canon 24-105mm f/4L IS USM, Canon 1.4 MkIII extender, Sigma AF 10-20mm f/3.5 EX DC HSM, Sigma 150-600 Contemporary, Tamron SP AF 70-300 F/4-5.6 Di VC USD, Canon EF-S 18-55mm 1:3.5-5.6 IS

Re: Finally Back...
Just went for the 64bit Dell 5720 All-in-One, 27" screen, 1Tb SSD, 32 Gb mem, 8gb on the graphics card, 8Gb QNAP 4 bay NAS, 2 Seagate 8Tb external hard drives. Goes like stink after my 10 year old 32 bit Dell XPS 720 which required four teams of hampsters to keep it going. Screen is so dam big if I look at the bottom left corner I miss something top right.David

Re: Finally Back...
I generally buy such a ridiculous computer that it runs for years as is. The laptop I replaced was seven years old and was only replaced when the hardware started to go bad and just was no longer worth putting money into. I upgrade by replacement, so proprietary isn't a big concern.
