Reviews of the Dell XPS 700 (Intel Core 2 Extreme X6800)
-
CNET Review
The Good: Striking new case design; clean interior; includes Intel's new Core 2 Duo and Core 2 Extreme chips; Nvidia chipset boosts performance.
The Bad: A few design issues; limited graphics card selection; Dell's support continues to unimpress us for a system in this price range.
The Bottom Line: Dell's XPS 700 high-end desktop lives up to our expectations and delivers a polished, powerful, cutting-edge gaming PC. We still have a few issues, but nothing deal-killing and nothing that overwhelms our positive opinion. Dell can now hold its head high in the high-end gaming space, and this is a PC you should consider.

Review Summary: A towering colossus of a rig, but it needs more graphical poke to drive that 24-inch panel

Review Summary: But perhaps the top component in the deal is Dell's magnificent 2407FPW - 24-inches and 1920 x 1200 pixels of pure, bright, widescreen joy. Short of forking out more than a grand on the 30-incher, this is the perfect gaming panel, and will make HD content
