Dell's next generation desktop PC

[Skiz]

http://www.bit-tech.net/news_images/dell_xcs_pictured/article_img.jpgIt appears that Dell might be adding a new case design to its lineup. Designed by Matthew Ritter, of Alienware fame, the case is definitely on the unusual side. Dell has taken quite a few steps outside of the 'beige box' approach in the past couple product generations, but this is a bit of an outlier.

The new series is going to be dubbed the XCS, though the specifics of hardware are currently unknown. It is speculated to be an Intel/ATI lineup, which would be in line with some of the Computex cross-marketing between the two companies with the upcoming Core 2 Duo release.

:O

I thought the same thing at first, but in the picture you'll also see they have it standing on one end. I also thought that maybe it's the size of a Shuttle computer, where the entire thing isn't much bigger than a shoebox.

Looks more like a reactor or something from Quake 4 or so...
