The Dell XPS 700 ($3,700 direct, $4,760 with 24-inch LCD widescreen monitor and 5.1 speakers) replaces the XPS 600 as Dell's flagship gaming desktop and, on the outside, it looks great. Instead of a gussied-up workstation case, the XPS 700 sports a brand-new, sculpted aluminum case and even more LEDs. It's certainly more attractive than the older XPS, Alienware Area 51, and Alienware Aurora models, and is arguably more attractive than the new Alienware desktops as well. If you're an enthusiast who likes to install upgrades yourself, but still have reservations about building your own desktop, this is the system for you—as long as its locked Core 2 Duo processor or the fact that it's not as fast as some of its peers doesn't bother you.
