What happens when you spend enough on a computer to make a down payment on an SUV? Dell sends you a gigantic 70-pound box full of game-playing goodness, that's what. Today Dell starts selling their new, top-of-the-line Intel Quad Core XPS gaming machines. This is it, the cream of the crop, and Dell was nice enough to send me one totally tricked out for review. I'll have the review ready for you next week, but for now enjoy some photos of the beast coming out of its box, with a bonus shot of my astonished looking roommate for perspective on the sheer size of the thing. The box weighed nearly 70 pounds, to give you some idea. 70 pounds! How many pasty, atrophied gamers does it take to lug a 70 pound gaming computer up to a 4th floor walkup? I'll leave you with the full specs and photos after the jump as you ponder that riddle. — Adam Frucci
