Decided to upgrade from my 5 year old gateway/AMD to a new computer. Saw a Dell computer on Costco online for $1000 bucks, advertised while supplies last. Dell XPS 890, core i7-6700@4Ghz, 2Tb drive, USB3.0, (no firewire-damn, oh well) - Windows 7 (wow yeah!). Just the ticket. Unit comes in - awesome. Guess what - right across from the little core i7 intel sticker is a Waves sticker. Why, it's gotta be a special build for Waves Inc. It's a music computer. I am one lucky bastard!
 
This is a steal of a deal!
 
(It's upgrade able to Windows 10, comes with that disk - but I ain't moving off of Windows 7!)

Is there a Costco SKU# that came with it?  

Ya , stay with W 7. Windows 10 belongs on cell phones and tablets, not DAW's 
I have it on my office computer now. I'm finding a lot of apps only 4 or 5 years old are not opening right away. You have to click the icon a few times. Then some stupid pop up comes up offering you a better app! It seems to hate any 3rd party software. It wants me to use the included apps. 
My Canon scanner is now way slow on it. 
I'm glad my DAW is still on 8.1. It seems way better behaved to me. 
 
Costco often has great deals on stuff that you have to grab and run. It will be gone the next day.

Looks like quite the beast, for not much money.
 
Didn't realize the i7s had reached the 6000's.  And 32gb.  When will it end.
 

Thanks guys!

How many open pci slots are on the 8900?

Sorry!

I had looked at the 8900's, both the Costco version and what is on Dell's site.  Sounds like a nice system but after more research I didn't buy it.
