The XPS 420 may not be an exceptional gaming machine, but as an entertainment nerve center it shines with a few new tricks.

Fantastic design and highly-configurable power make this XPS useful, desirable and good value.
Review Verdict: The specifications can be determined via Dell's online configurator when you buy. Our test unit had a 2.4GHz quad-core Q6600 processor, 2GB of RAM, two 250GB hard disks running in RAID1 (mirrored for data security) plus a proprietary, top-of-the-line X38

Dell's latest power desktops include some unique additions, but are they worth your while?
Review Verdict: Dell's WL6000 are a good compromise between sound quality, ease of use, and price and would perfectly complement any Dell monitor quipped multimedia PC.

A handsome PC with strong performance, the Dell XPS 420 lacks the expandability that some high-end power desktops have.
Review Verdict: Despite a few gripes, we like the Dell XPS 420, another solid desktop PC from Dell.

This $3729 (as of January 3, 2008) configuration of Dell's XPS 420 multimedia computer featured a top-of-the-line 3-GHz Core 2 Extreme Quad QX9650 Intel CPU, but its other performance-enhancing components are strictly second-tier.
Review Verdict: The front of the XPS 420's midsize tower case is composed of a glossy black plastic that looks great when clean, but tends to highlight fingerprints. Our test unit included several nice options: front-mounted S-Video and RCA ports with the unique Xcelerat

A little leary of Windows Vista but it was very easy to set up. After using it for one week I found it easier to understand than Windows XP. This computer is a big upgrade from this one I had. Dell can be very proud of this item. No problems what so e
