Digital Home Thoughts: Dell Introduces New XPS 710 H2C Gaming System & Other Goodies

"Dell added a high-performance desktop to its portfolio of XPS™ products, and introduced two new widescreen flat-panel displays and a Digital Home Media Suite, here today at the Consumer Electronics Show. Details and availability of the new products are provided below. More information, including high-resolution images, is available at www.dell.com/ces2007news. The XPS 710 H2Ceramic (H2C) Edition desktop comes in a midnight-black chassis and offers patent-pending cooling technology designed for serious gamers who want to push performance beyond tested limits. Dell developed the H2C design to better cool the processor, extend its life and help the system run more reliably than conventional cooling systems even when the system is overclocked. The Intel quad-core processor is factory overclocked1 for extreme gaming and video editing, and backed by specialized XPS technicians. Dell’s H2C cooling system is a custom two-stage process."

While the new XPS and the widescreen monitors are certainly quite juicy, I think the more interesting item is the Home Media Suite which comes with XPS 410 core 2 duo, 2GB memory, 1 terabatye RAID disk array, DVD/RW and loaded with Windows Vista when available. Awesome! I can totally see hooking up the XBox 360's Media extender capabilities to this machine and complete the package. Oh man, is Christmas over already?!
