So, my brand-spankin'-new Dell XPS 420 Media Center arrived yesterday morning, a full three days ahead of FedEx's estimated delivery date. Yeah, I was stoked. The first thing I noticed was how heavy the box was. For what was essentially a tower, keyboard, and mouse, the thing was pretty heavy. It wasn't until I actually pulled the tower out of the box that I realized why--that thing is solid. I mean, it's gotta be one of the sturdiest cases I've ever seen.
That wasn't the only thing to impress me, though. As I was pulling the tower out of the box, I noticed what looked like a control panel on the top, front side of the case. I got very excited, realizing that there was about a 99% chance that it was a Windows Sideshow device. By excited, I mean jumping up and down (figuratively--I was still holding the unit) and yelling!
