Dell releases its latest top-end gaming machine
Dell’s latest desktop wasn’t inspired by its environmental group. It didn’t come from the folks peddling those pretty pink laptops.
The new XPS 730 comes from that caffeine-amped, Crysis-addicted crew hanging out on the fringes of Dell’s leading edge, and it goes on sale today.
To update its premier performance desktop, Dell added more computing- and graphics-processing power. The XPS 730 will support over-clocked and quad-core processors, and will carry and/or support some of the latest graphics engines. (For more specs, go here.)
The company also said it has tweaked its optional liquid-cooling system to pull more heat away from the new chipsets. It also retooled the cooling system’s pumps and fans to scale back when the PC is idling.
The air-cooled XPS 730 comes in silver and starts at $4,000. The liquid-cooled XPS 730 H2C comes in “victory red” or “stealth blue” and starts at $5,000. All models can be ordered with the X-shaped window into the guts of the PC.
