Summary

Review summaries for Dell 700 from expert desktop reviewers.

big, powerful system

Dell XPS 700:PCWorld

The case is spacious, with enough room to hold four hard drives (our review system came with two 320GB drives in a striped RAID array for a generous total of 640GB of hard-drive storage) and four externally accessible drive bays. The futuristic styling of the XPS 700's large, aluminum case is both attractive and practical: The large grilles on the front and the rear and the large fans inside the spacious case allow air to pass through and cool the system almost silently. *

it looks great

Dell XPS 700:PCMAG

Since the case is so open inside and since the Core 2 Duo processor runs so cool, fan noise is hardly noticeable after you turn the system on. *
"
I like that Dell put in a hefty graphics card retention system, so if you need to move your XPS 700, you don't have to worry about your heavy graphics cards coming loose and tearing your motherboard apart"

limited graphics card selection

Dell XPS 700 (Intel Core 2 Extreme X6800):CNet

It's a tiny little nub that's hard to push, and even somewhat painful to press long enough to power down the system. The drive bay and the expansion-slot doors feel flimsy. Illuminated front-side drive buttons and back-panel ports are meant to make it easy to swap discs and cables in a darkened gaming room, and the sloped design in back is supposed to aid cable wrangling. *

most impressive looking off-the-shelf PC

Dell XPS 700:Trusted Reviews

The PCMark score is more revealing as it gives some indication of how far overall PC performance has come in the last ten months – the overall score on the XPS 600 was 5346 – on the XPS 700 it's 7271 – that's 36 per cent quicker. *
