Microsoft and Dell recently partnered up to create a super-cool custom PC in celebration of Microsoft releasing Windows Vista to manufacturing earlier this month. Our own Sean Alexander had a friend on the Windows Team forward on some pictures and information regarding the high end PC. | ||

I like it - clean loking build with some nice touches and great custom paint.
I know Twitch Gamers will ask,"What! No SLI?" but that aside, the build looks great. I especially like how it pays attention to how users actually run a modern home system - a lot of front mounted and accessible ports and media reading access slots. The lights at the top are cool, too [at least it looks like it has lights] - which should illuminate drive bays in lower light environments. They should have photographed it running. What I DO NOT LIKE is the way a few posters simply disrespected the build so casually. Custom paint is not easy - we do it on our rigs - though now we have it done, and it is not cheap, or easy to ship. It is however, visually worth the effort. I'd bed a stack of twenties that the asshats that posted "lame" and similar comments have never designed, much less actually built a thing - anyone who has would never be so unkind, or unprofessional. The build is clean and makes a lot of sense and it sure beats any cookie cutter "car" spelled, K. A. R. like systems that many OEM's and yes, Apple, stamp out - all being so different by thinking and acting just alike... Now that's ugly, in my opinion. We started a new effort in our area - a young guy [under 30] stepped up and is using custom PC building as the basis for teaching teens many things - how to finish what you start - that each has value - that one can express individuality, yet still conform to basic values and rules - like engineering rules, etc... It's really cool to see hard nosed kids warm up to the idea that though life is tough, that with a little effort and some help that is earned, they can get things done. This same force drives good devs and the folks who posted the pics of a custom build they were rightfully proud of. Nothing chaps my ass more than to see people be unkind just because they can get away with on the cloud. I really dislike that back end way of behaving and it's why I use my real name in any forum - if I say anything out of line, I'd deserve the consequences for having done so. Used to be that kids expected any adult to square them up if they were "bad" - now people cower in fear as people act worse and worse and we let them. Sorry for the rant. |

Sure it does - how better to update a BIOS or hardware firmware but in the "By God Command Line!?" We still include them, too - on all but SFF builds and for the same reason.
They must be old school or at least older than 30 years of age. Ever tweak a hard drive's integrated controller to squeeze a few ounces of juice from it? |

| Great looking box. Superb paint job. However, since it is a Dell I see it as the computer equivalent of "pimp my Yugo". |

That is the single most ugliest case I have ever seen - wow, the ingenuity, take a boring slick black case and paint a hideous logo on the side! I can imagine that the Apple designers still haven't managed to catch their breath and stop laughing.
Nice typo too... 2x500MB = 1 Terabyte! |

On the other hand, you don't want to start discussing details about your personal life on your business blog. This also depends on your own personality, your niche and the audience you are targeting. You should not, however, blog about anything that you wouldn't write in a business email.
