Dell introduces quiet Dimension 5100 and 5100C PCs
Dell introduced a pair of new desktop PCs today that incorporate BTX specs and use the company's new QuietCase technology, which it says reduces noise and improves reliability and cooling. Both systems use Intel's 945G Express chipset and have up to 4GB shared DDR2 memory, integrated 7.1 audio support, 10/100 network controller, optional IEEE 1394 port, TV tuner and 9-in-1 media card reader. The Dimension 5100C (seen at right) adds support for Intel dual-core processors and, most importantly, it looks a whole lot less ugly. Both will be available next month with the 5100 starting at $899 and the 5100C starting at $1,049 — but right now Dell is running a promotion that'll knock 25% off those prices.
