Dell founder and Chairman Michael Dell sees computer gaming becoming a $4 billion-per-year industry by 2010 as consumers hook up to high-speed Internet services to battle monsters online. Dell told the Austin Game Conference on Thursday night that his company is positioning itself to be a leader in computer gaming. "Things like multi-core processors, acceleration engines for physics and graphics, wide-screen displays, Webcams: There are a lot of great things happening on the hardware side that can really make the gaming experience quite exciting," Dell said.
Dell Inc., the world's leading personal computer maker with $55.9 billion in revenue last year, acquired Alienware, a Miami-based maker of gaming systems, earlier this year. Alienware had $200 million in revenue in 2005. Dell, a Texas native who has long admitted being a big fan of computer games, says he attended the conference to determine what game architects and designers want to see in computer hardware.

Just think of the possibilities.
A mb that is totally integrated would not be good. I'd rather by the board I want and put the components on it that I want. A fully integrated board would not be a good thing.
Just think of the possibilities.
Are you seriously saying that that killer NIC for $270 is better than a normal marvell lan card? If you take away it's look it's nothing special.
ummm...lower prices?
I kept having power supplies blow on me in my home built computer.
I eevn tried a $200 dolalr 500 watt High end power supply with thicker then normal wiring wich is supposed to be les sprown to be blown out.
What happen 2 months later it blew. I got a dell and the computer has not had a single hiccup in the 2 years that I have had it .
Dell now has amd and intel pcs
You can get lower prices from dell if you know how to get them .
I think they are on the right track.
Also, DELL's machines are surprisingly very quiet!
And when you call their tech support speaks clear english in my experience and are extremely prompt. My power supply for my DELL Inspiron 8600 laptop died the other day and they had a new one for me shipped overnight morning delivery with a box that had postage already paid for for my old adapter. That is good service if you ask me.
I'm sure some people no the exact right components to make a machine. But my expertise energy has gone into other fields and I don't want to try the 10 new motherboards from taiwan this year. Leave it to an expert.

wow, somebody's sarcasm detector is way offcourse! some people always have a problem with taking things too serious, e.g: you. calm down, it's the interweb.
NOT A DELL CONSOLE!
NOT A DELL CONSOLE!
D-Box 360 anyone?
Actually I'm all for Dell getting into the gaming market. Dell is a trusted home brand-name now, and even if we tech-heads still build our own, there will be a large percentage of the gaming community who are less than tech-savvy who will go for Dells. And they will do exactly what they are supposed to do.
And Dells are generally more reliable than home-built rigs. The difference is that Dells have limited expandability / upgradeability, so they may not have quite as long-a-life as a home-built system.
there always tring to step one step ahead of themselfs, that aint going to work Dell, sorry.
