The enthusiasts may disagree ;D

I mean MX stands for "Mechanical X-Point". Not sure if you're referring to something other than MX Switches because you add "[keys]"

My office setup:

~ Dell Precision 3650 tower station Paid $3000 after customization
~ (2) 32" 4K Curved monitors debating if I should add a 3rd, Paid $300 each
~ Sit to stand 3 32" monitor stand Paid $300
~ iPad Pro 11 inch 3rd gen Paid $1,200
~ This Dell keyboard and mouse combo, not even using the mouse.
   The cool thing about it is though that the keyboard and mouse are also connectible to 2 additional devised via Bluetooth, so I have it connected to my tablet and phone. Paid $0 for 2 of these
~ Logitech 20 key mouse, no I'm not a gamer. $60
~ 4K Webcam Paid $300
~ Computer mic Paid $0
~ Anker PowerConf conference room speaker/mic, hate it. Paid $219
~ Amazon computer speakers Paid $18
~ These & This for cable management
I’m in shape, round is a shape…

Unfortunately there is no option on Dell's website to show all the options I chose when I bought the computer.

I upgraded the processor to the best option they had available, upgraded the RAM, graphics card, Cooling system, can't remember what else

Search box: processor

Then:



If you also want to show graphics card then search advanced display settings and it'll show it there.

Looks like a great setup! Love the cord wrapper. Are your screens flush together or separate?

Msinfo32 is faster and shows more. Or CTRL+SHIFT+ESCAPE for Task Manager which shows CPU, GPU, memory and storage these days.

Figured had to be something like that. Convenient name for a keyboard trying to be mechanical

The cord wrappers are so cheap and easy to install yet they make a huge difference!
Screens are flush

Why do I feel you should have a better graphics card for that price.

If he's not a gamer there is no need. Price seems about right to me, FTR never buy these off dell.com call for a better quote or bug a certain DDF'er who sells computers and is awesome 🤐

I have basically the same specs but did 128GB RAM.

Good to know ;)

Be careful with support, gotta carefully scrutinize the invoice to confirm they removed all add ons.

I never got a better quote by calling in. I got an XPS 8950 with an Intel Core I7-12700, 16gb of RAM, 512 GB NVME SSD, and a 1660 Super for $808 in September, before Amex 10% back and Biz Plat credits.

I specifically was talking about the custom built tower desktops. The pre-built XPS, Inspiron, etc etc will get the best deals online with amex.

The machines are in different leagues.

Yeah, I've dealt with them for server quotes before.
