but still, Oxford Colour is quite stylish, whatever your Balmorals and not withstanding troll patent leather.

That thing is actually LESS stylish than most of the boxes Dell has been making in the last few years. Even the old Dimensions and Optiplexes had the gray trim (the Dimension even had the flip-up gray door hiding the impossible-to-use-unless-you-stand-on-your-head USB ports, but I digress).

I guess it's 4th quarter revenue time for the inq.

Could you please point me out to the most recent beige dell box? sounds like someone has been listening to too many mactards.

I like PC that is bad style and it apperance just like 10 years ago, as long as:
1. it is durable, road warrior thing
2. The inside is not same as 10 years ago
3. cheap price

I like Thinkpad laptop because it just not much different than 10 years ago. I also rugged. It will confuse the thief whether they are stealing a 10 years laptop or a brand new one. Cheap price (hik, only in US cheap :((). This is one of only electronic device made in Chinna (Lenovo) that has world class quality. I have Dell D630. It also nice with the 3 factor above :).

1999 called, it wants its news back...

Uh, we have been ordering all black dells for our office for the last 4 years. Geez... how do these stories get past the first edit?

Laptops with coloured lids? Out of this world looking computers and laptops with glowing lights?

Hm. Next to me is a person on WinME, 256MB SDRAM and a 16bit desktop. And that's a black Dell.

What's next? Apple making white machines?

Looks like a blatant plug for Dell considering the Vostro boxes have looked like that since day 1. How much did they pay to get there ad inserted in the news column??????

You been living under a rock for a few years there, chief?

Dell's machines have been coming in black since like 2003. Their Vostro machines have ALWAYS come in black, they never even made a beige Vostro.
