Lan Party Frag Box. A small form Shuttle type box for Gamers

96 points posted to Gaming, XPS products by snowbob230 02/18/07

It would be cool if Dell added a gamers Lan Party small shuttle type box with SLI capabilities.

Also it would be cool if they were water cooled.

Just an idea for the XPS line.

May 2		 I don't think that SLI would be a good idea for lan boxes because of heat and noise issues. Liquid cooling is also hard to do in a small form factor because of size requirements and the constant fear of tubing coming loose while moving the unit. But I do thing that a Dell LAN box is a good idea. Maybe instead of SLI they could do a GX2 setup or the dual gpu ATi cards.

May 2		 I think having a LAN box / Small form factor (SFF) box would be an amazing addition to the Dell gaming lineup. The XPS machines have a lot of customizations available but are hulks to carry around everywhere. And like Dark said, using a GX2, or Nvidia equivalent if they ever release it, would be much better to keep size and weight down. The box would need some serious fans though to make sure nothing overheats. They do have the solid fans for laptops

That might help save on space.
