Dell fights Alien Invasion

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the beware-the-grays dept.

Asakawa writes "With manufacturers like Alienware and Voodoo sucking up the low-volume/high-margin high-end gaming market, it looks like Dell wants a piece of the action. The machine that these guys have reviewed looks pretty awesome, but they reckon it's overpriced. It will be interesting to see if Dell can shake off its grey box image and entice the more fussy gamers and enthusias."

    Yeah! Right on! Me Too!

    I want my super-upber-high-end gaming PC to ship with Linux so I can stress it its limits with the absolute latest, bleeding edge, hard core Linux based games...

    ...like Tux Racer.
