Beauty Meets Brawn: Unleashing the New XPS Desktop
XPS is one of the most coveted brands in the PC industry, lauded for its seamless convergence of elegant design and cutting-edge technology - but there's always more to an XPS device than meets the eye. Nearly 42% larger than its predecessor (27L vs 19L), the new XPS desktop ushers in an expansive suite of next-gen performance technologies and a more robust cooling architecture, making this the most powerful XPS desktop ever made.
With heavy hitter performance cloaked by an understated minimalist design, creators, gamers and virtually anyone who wants to amplify their passions can now own a sophisticated PC with workhorse performance.Performance powerhouse
Whether you're an aspiring artist or seasoned virtuoso, stay in your flow with the new 12th Gen Intel Core desktop processor (up to i9) that handles creative projects and gameplay with ease alongside the most impressive graphics options available on the market with either NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30 Series GPUs (up to a 3090) or AMD Radeon RX GPUs (up to a 6900 XT). Combined with next-generation DDR5 memory supporting up to 50% faster clock speed than DDR4 as well as PCIe Gen5 graphics ready, the new XPS Desktop delivers incredible horsepower to help you conquer every task you throw at it.
What's cooler than being (liquid) cool?
Our engineers thoughtfully redesigned the thermal architecture of the device to maximize performance and soften the acoustics through improving airflow. The front bezel of the chassis is designed to intake cool air and move it from the front and out the back. Notably, the new XPS Desktop is up to 21% cooler under load (with a 125 W cooling solution) or up to 18% cooler under load with liquid cooling (when compared to the new 125 W thermal solution). And the new high RPM fans (up to 5,000 RPM) operate more efficiently at slower speeds which helps makes the system quieter. Overall, the new desktop is more than 50% quieter under load over previous generations, so you can channel your flow state and get things done.
The new XPS desktop is elegantly and mindfully designed to fit seamlessly into any environment, just like the rest of the XPS family. Our team of designers explored the latest materials and tested various finishes, textures and colors to make it look less like a PC and more like a natural and authentic object that fits harmoniously in your space with access ports that aren't distracting and a simple grid pattern. It comes with a choice of two stylish colors - light and dark - including Night Sky and an all-aluminium Platinum silver option. A pair of aluminium feet that peek out from the base add an extra level of poise to our silver model.
Grow into your passion
Our XPS customers have relentless spirits and are always ready to take on their next challenge. They're always learning, growing and expanding their skillsets. That's why it's important to have a PC that is customizable, so the system can grow to meet increased performance demands over time. Using the toolless entry chassis, you can easily upgrade the CPU, GPU, memory, storage and more to keep pace with new technology as it becomes available. You're essentially investing in technology that can scale as your passion does
Creator edition
For those who aspire to cultivate their digital content creation skills - whether that be in photography, graphic design, music production or beyond, they can tap into "creator edition" that comes with pre-selected configurations ready to withstand creative workloads.
Up-leveled support
Providing an outstanding entertainment or office set-up doesn't stop at the hardware—here are the software, support and services that complete the Dell experience:

The only thing really is the motherboard and case (because of the motherboard) but you could also source a new board from Dell. And this is an office prebuilt after all, there's a limited amount of adaptation a thing like this will ever see and will be repairable as long as the platform lives (dell might have a shitty customer service that pushes the extended warranty and financing multiple times, but they do provide repairs to their customers when asked/payed for)
I understand your point though.
For example"XPS(? Yes , ,dell) is one of the most mocked brands in the PC industry, laughed at for its seamless convergence of worksite design and f#@ked for no good reason technology - but there's always more to an XPS device than meets the eye, no not really. "
I use a dell for work, does it show?!
This would be around a 6 on the ifixit scale, it's nowhere near perfect, but perfectly serviceable, let's dial down the bullshit hyperbole That case was sick! I've seen some modded version (even found one here www.techpowerup.com/forums/threads/bignano.189975/), kind of reminiscent of the current Mac Pro air tunnel
