What do we have here. From the looks of the XPS 710's freshly minted website, it appears Dell has a surprise in store for its massive desktop. So far all we have to go on is this little tease:

"Technology like you've never seen. Black Ice is coming, exclusively from Dell."
Dell has gotten into the habit of overclocking its high-end systems lately, so chances are this Black Ice is a cooling solution that'll allow them to overclock to the max. Sounds reasonable enough. Any other guesses? – Louis Ramirez

The new XPS 710 packs Intel's 2.66GHz Core 2 Extreme QX6700 quad-core CPU, letting you throw any multi-threaded app you can find its way. For expansion, the desktop has four memory slots alongside seven expansion slots that comfortably fit as many video cards as you can afford. All this goodness is gonna cost you though. The XPS (available today) starts at $3,699. Having the extra horsepower under the hood sounds inviting, but personally there's few multi-threaded apps (if any) in my library to justify splurging close to $4 grand on a desktop. – Louis Ramirez
