Oh hell it's ugly
Dell has released some pics of their newly designed XPS

No, it's wonderful! It's the first Dell that has ever actually looked the part for its job...

... it's an over-sized space-heater, of course!

Oooh, i dunnow what to say..... Its just, had someone other then dell come up with it, it would have apppealed more... The dell tag seems to downgrade it...

Apart from being a dell, first impression was a heater, but if it does its jobs as a heater but dissipating heat from the system very efficiently, ultra cool, and keeping the room warm... ^_^! All aside, its a plain dell...

Nope, but I can't say that I setup my PC in pitch-black conditions

Yep. I put two LEDs above my panel.

It's also the fact it appears to be lopsided and lurching forwards.

Hmm. Put a bunch of them in one of those Dell 19" rack cabinets and I think they'd look pretty good actually. You guys just aren't thinking big enough.
