Dell XPS 710 (Intel Core 2 Extreme QX6700) - CNET

A review of Dell XPS 710 desktop PC has been posted on CNET. 'When we first wrote about the Dell XPS 710 on November 1, we weren't able to give it a full review because we didn't know the price. Dell finally gave us the number: $5,344 for the configuration we tested. This revelation and some issues with the configuration we're able to talk about only now sour our opinion of this system. Similar systems from Gateway and Polywell that cost nearly $2,000 less outperformed Dell's new flagship PC, and the Polywell and systems from several other boutique PC vendors have more up-to-date graphics cards.

Dell's XPS 700-series case remains one of the most visually bold on the market, and the XPS 710 review unit we received is as well built as the XPS 700 we saw a few months ago. But anyone spending even $4,000 on a gaming PC has a right to demand a cutting-edge system with the latest and greatest of everything, and while we expect Dell will offer that sooner or later, the XPS 710 doesn't have it right now.'
