There are all kinds of ways that you can celebrate the launch of a new product: a gathering, cake, or even banners. Microsoft is doing it in style though with a custom PC that they teamed up with Dell to build. I have to admit that it does look pretty sweet but what is even cooler than the graphics on the case are the mad specs that this thing has:
- Intel Core 2 Duo E6700 Processor
- 512MB NVIDIA GeForce 7900 GTX
- 4GB RAM Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM @ 667mhz
- 1Terabyte RAID0 SATA HDDs (2x500GB)
- 48x Combo + 16x DVD+/-RW Double Layer Burner
- Dual TV Tuners (Analog)
- Dell 30″ Widescreen Flat Panel Monitor
- Full 5.1 Surround Sound
They even capped the thing off by including a 30″ monitor! The Windows Vista Team Blog says that there were a few of these built and one was raffled off at the Windows Vista Ship Party that Microsoft had. I would venture to guess that the whole system setup (without any custom graphic design on the case) would probably run around $6,000 so this beast would be especially awesome to have on hand!
New math? Shouldn’t that be (2x500GB)?
At last! Now I know the recommended system requitemenst for Windows Vista!.. I’ll better switch to Mac OS X or Linux.
Even after you pointed that out I didn’t notice the difference.
I just copied and pasted the specs so that is kinda funny.
Oh no, this system can’t run Vista because it doesn’t meet the minimum requirements. It would need 8GB of RAM in order to run Vista with just the Basic interface.
What, no Geforce 8800*??? I won’t buy it, then.
* The GeForce 8800 GPUs are the world’s first to support Microsoft® DirectX® 10, the next-generation programming interface that will be introduced with the upcoming Microsoft Vistaâ„¢ operating system.

My Powermac g5 Quad is ten times more powerful than these shit!
Microsoft suck´s!
Fancy, but does the basic OS need that powerful a PC just to run
