Cost

I was wondering about the cost of the new XPS systems. I heard that they would be around $3000. Is this true? If not please post thought on what the price should be.

    I LOVE the new case. Will the front grill come in different colors, or will red be the only one? I'd love to see a deep Blue, green, black (AKA: stealth case), Purple, or even burnt yellow colors. Looks great; can't wait on more info. I know the Dell had something to say about this at E3, so maybe we'll get some solid info on this soon.

    Not sure on price, but $3000 sounds about right for a higher end computer.

    Anyone else notice it looks like their using a BTX motherboard on this thing? Coooool =-) can't wait to get the system specs for this thing.

    I agree about the case! It looks pretty sweet! The colors available are black and red. A dark blue would look great also.

    what about yellow-orange the mix color. just like lamborghini. and red color with 2 white line in middle like GT, that should be cool.

    $ 10,000 big ones as reported on another site...  Just like the Renegade system.  With all the bells and whistles

    250 Watt PS?
     
    By this alone you should recognize that its bull.
     
    No "High End" gaming rig can operate on a 250 watt
     
    2.6 Ghz???
     
    I dont think so man. Whats so revolutionary about 2.6Ghz. I would put my money on dual core; and if its dual core its gotta be AMD.
     
    6200 AGP Video <- lol all I gotta say is PCIe
     
    A gig of memory? Please man.... A gig is nothing these days.... minimal 2 gigs.....
     
     
     
    The case looks BTX but DELL could have used a split mobo with a vertical mount to optimize airflow over the chipset.
     
    Anyway figure on
    socket 939 dual-core (AMD),
    NVidia SLi  ready (one card included one is addon)
    2 gigs minimal (4 gigs max, and when you are talking memory for gamers: you are talking corsair)
    160G SATA drive (It has got to be Baracuda by Seagate)
     
    (Additional components obviously)
     
    Otherwise what makes it the "ultimate gaming rig"?
     
    What would really throw a curveball is an optional linux enviroment.

    biteronboard, you're joking right?  those are SR45's machine specs,  not the $10K X-men giveaway edition.  The $10K giveaway version has a 965EE, Quad 7900gtx and probably a nforce590 chipset, 2gb DDR2 667, 1TB raid, custom paint job, and other stuff...you can see some of the specs in the contest rules.  It looks somewhat similar to the specs for the Renegade giveaway, with updated items minus the 30" flat panel.   Not sure though what makes the X-Men custom model $10K with no 30" flat panel, but who knows, maybe special cooling, power supply, maybe AMD version, who knows...

    PC Perspective had a few close up pics of the machine at E3.  They speculate it's running a Core2 Duo (conroe) on a new nforce 5 series with the new revised quad 7900gtx's.  yikes.  Just imagine a Core2 Extreme in there.
