A Power User's Dream Desktop 
The XPS 435 veers decidedly away from the black-and-silver boxes of the previous XPS and Inspiron models. Along with the fresh exterior, the 435 has a new Core i7-powered interior. If you're the type who was tempted by the Dell XPS 730x but was put off by the almost $4,000 price, you should take a closer look at the 435.
A full-size ATX tower houses the 435. The system is tilted back somewhat so you can easily reach buttons, ports, and slots when the tower is on the floor under your desk. This system's quad-core processor, 6GB of DDR3 SDRAM, and 1GB ATI Radeon HD 4870 graphics card make it a capable choice for both multimedia and 3D gaming. Although there's lots of room inside for upgrades, the 435's motherboard supports only one graphics card. 
The 435's beefy components did not disappoint on our benchmark tests. Both Crysis and World in Conflict were very playable at 1,280-by-1,024 resolution (scores were 60 and 78 frames per second, respectively) Multimedia performance was also speedy: Scores on the Windows Media Encoder and Photoshop CS4 tests were 36 seconds and 1:12. In price and hardware, the 435 occupies the middle ground between the more mainstream (and sub-$1,000) Studio XPS and Dell's $4,000 XPS 730x and XPS 730x H2C models. In the price-to-performance ratio, it's a great value.—Joel Santo Domingo

My first impression about the Dell XPS 435 was WoW!! The design is fabulous, glossy black front panel and the rest is white with red strokes. It comes packed with excellent features and the best thing is gigabit ethernet connectivity. The price is $2100. For more in detail refer dell studio xps desktop
