Dell's putting on the neon lights for its new line of
Inspiron desktops, and as usual, customization's the key here. In addition to two body types -- slim (pictured) and mini tower -- there's eight different colors to choose from: Piano Black, Pure White, True Blue, Formula Red, Tangerine Orange, Spring Green, Plum Purple and
Promise Pink. That last one's tied to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure program, which the company currently donates to for every Promise Pink laptop it sells. Processor options include Intel Celeron, Core 2 Duo, and Core 2 Quad, and AMD Sempron, Athlon X2 and Phenom X4. Other specs include six USB ports (two in front, four in back), up to 8GB RAM on select systems, integrated Intel graphics or ATI Radeon GPUs, and up to 750GB HDD for slims and 1TB for mini-towers. If you're currently in the market for a new PC, you might want to hold off just a tad longer. These new Inspirons are due out this Spring for US and China and start at $299 for the lowest of the low-end models.

To hell with Octomom, its OctoDell!
im excited to see these options getting more and more popular, im happy that we have a choice of more than just components these days, size, color, style, along with components? i dont see how you can attack Dell for that, hell right now, its probably my favorite all around company.
I hope they continue to offer the Bamboo Mini desktop, the girlfriend and i want to pick one up for our kitchen when we move in about 1.5 years. its tiny, and would go very well over the counter, and looks nice. it doesnt need to be very powerful because it will be a simple 20in touchscreen/windows 7 computer used mostly for looking up recipes in both programs and on the internet.
I like the idea of having a cool color, but they didn't do the best job at choosing their hues
518, have one, had some problems, but i think I got a bad seed, but its been great. piano black when it came out!
