They're pretty much the same price, is there really that much of a difference in performace between the 2?

LOL, those benches are al over the place!! you can't tell whats better!

And by the way Dell arn't **** there the most rock solid PC's i've ever seen. I've already had 2 and was looking at the XPS as my 3rd because of peace of mind. I've not had a single thing go wrong with a Dell. My work place uses Dell laptops. That's 500 laptops. Not a single hardware failure in 3 years!!! (Well ok, a cracked screen but that's because the idiot dropped it)

I see no one's offered to say which of the 2 above is faster. And is the OCUK PC's relable??
