Pros: Dell's strongest chassis design in years ; highly capable jack-of-all-trade configuration ; strong customer support options

Cons: Not as fast or as affordable as some of its off-the-shelf competition ; a few missing features ; power hog

Verdict: The Dell Studio XPS 435 successfully overcomes our bias against desktops that claim to be experts at everything through charming case design and a strong configuration at a relatively fair price. It misses greatness because of a handful of minor ...

Pros: Outfitted for a slew of multimedia and gaming needs. Design trumps unwieldy size. Gigabit ethernet connectivity is a boon to the gaming set. Home theater ready with 7.1 surround speaker outputs. Peripheral friendly with eight USB ports (4 front/4 rear ...

Cons: Anemic power supply puts a damper on future expansion. Included mouse and keyboard feels el cheap-o. Ridiculous weight puts a damper on mobility. Both fan and Blu-ray drive door are frustratingly noisy. Not bundled/paired with a monitor

We're not going to mince words - the XPS 435 is confusing. As the newest XPS Studio desktop, it's armed to the teeth with smokin' specs. But upon closer inspection, it looks like Dell forgot some details that would make this a well-rounded rig.

Pros: High-powered CPU and graphics. Forward-thinking design. Top-mounted tray and USB ports. A 15-month subscription to McAfee Internet Security.

Cons: Big and heavy. Could use another data drive. No hard switch for reset or power. Blu-ray is read-only.

Verdict: The Dell Studio XPS 435 does a great job with multimedia tasks like encoding video and editing photos, and does very well with 3D games. All that power costs you less than $1,800 (under $2,000 with monitor).

Dell seems open to trying out snazzier designs for its desktop PCs these days. The Dell Studio XPS 435 ($1,769 direct, $1,999 with 22-inch widescreen monitor) veers decidedly away from the black-and-silver boxes of the previous XPS and Inspiron models ...
