Monster new Dell Tower! Core 2 Duo @2.4gHz

Pictures don't always convey an accurate impression, until you see something sitting in front of you in your living room.

My new Dell XPS 700 tower arrived and it is the biggest tower I have ever seen.  It is great looking and loaded too.  Here are the specs (if I remember all of them from the order).

Intel Core 2 Duo @2.4gHz
2GB Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM @ 667mHz
Dual 256mb nVidia GeForce 7900GS video cards tied together
250gb SATA 7200rpm HD
20" widescreen flat panel display
Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Music
100 watt 5.1 surround sound speakers
Dual TV Tuner + Remote
13 in One Media Card Reader w/Floppy drive

The most important software AmigaForever 2005 (not from Dell)

I am watching TV and typing this at the same time.  This is great.  The only reason I bought it was because I had a limited time 15% off discount coupon from my last employer, and I got a great deal.  I priced the new PowerMac towers and for a similar system, the Dell was at least $1,000 to $1,500 cheaper.

I'll have to open it up to check the HD brand.  Yes, dual tuner card is for watching one channel while I can record a different program to watch at another time.

No AROS yet.  I just have not gotten interested in the AROS movement so far.  What software programs are available to run on AROS?  It doesn't run OS3.1 compatible Amiga programs, does it?

I would like to see an A1200 running a couple of apps and displaying live TV in a window, you are a better Amigan than I to figure that one out and buy the right hardware.

Like my sig says, too many Amigas and never enough time to tweak them all.

My door is always open to fellow Amiga users and specially those who enjoy helping other Amiga users (like me) tweak their machines.  Living in a mountain resort town will hopefully entice some to visit one day. :lol:
