Simple, stately looks and damn-near true silence.

I used one at work this summer.

Add in a real videocard for around 300, and you have a fairly decent system for around 1200.

Anyone know how us regular folk (not business people) can get these systems other than eBay or something similar?]]>Sep 7th 2007 11:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/07/dells-optiplex-getting-an-upgrade-later-this-month/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/07/dells-optiplex-getting-an-upgrade-later-this-month/

We have dozens and dozens of these new Optiplexes (from varying model lines) and I do love the case design, easy to add/remove drives, and most importantly dead silent.]]>Sep 7th 2007 4:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/07/dells-optiplex-getting-an-upgrade-later-this-month/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/07/dells-optiplex-getting-an-upgrade-later-this-month/Sep 7th 2007 4:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/07/dells-optiplex-getting-an-upgrade-later-this-month/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/07/dells-optiplex-getting-an-upgrade-later-this-month/
Consumers everywhere are confused.
