AUSTIN, Texas, Sep 17, 2001 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Dell (Nasdaq:DELL) today announced availability of the Dimension(tm) 8200, its most powerful, expandable multimedia desktop for consumers and small businesses, featuring a bold new chassis design.
The Dimension 8200 -- powered by Intel Pentium(R) 4 processors with speeds up to 2GHz, Rambus RDRAM, the latest in graphics cards and other peripherals such as a 100GB hard disk drive -- delivers the necessary performance to effortlessly run video editing applications, 3D games, and various other high-end entertainment and business applications.
New Chassis
Dell designed its latest Dimension 8200 chassis with an emphasis on customers' needs for performance, style, expansion and ease-of-access. The midnight-gray chassis opens like a clamshell and without tools, making it quicker and easier to access internal components. Changing those internal PCI cards such as modems or sound cards, is also a "tool-free" operation. For convenience, Dell added two USB ports and a headphone jack to the front of the system -- no more reaching around to the back.
"The 8200 combines the latest Intel(R) Pentium (R) 4 processor and high performance peripherals to deliver new levels of performance to customers who are running advanced applications such as video editing, digital photography, music and MP3 creation, and entertainment titles; all delivered in a stylish and easy-to-use new package," said Neeraj Srivastava, marketing director, Dell Dimension.
Pricing
Dimension 8200 pricing in the United States begins at $1,199(a).
For customers interested in high-end, multimedia performance, a sample configuration includes a system with the Intel Pentium 4 processor at 2GHz, 128 MB of RDRAM, a 100 GB(b) hard drive, NVIDIA GeForce2 GTS graphics card, 16X CD-RW drive, harman/kardon(R) (HK-395) speakers, M991 19-inch monitor (18-inch viewable) and a SoundBlaster Live Sound(tm) card for $2,129(a).
