PAX West | Dell gives the Inspiron Gaming Desktop a clear side-panel face lift

Normally when talking about pre-built gaming desktops or laptops, the brands getting lip service are ones such as Alienware, Asus Republic of Gamers, Lenovo Legion, or others along those lines. However, Dell provides budget friendly gaming options in their Inspiron Gaming category, offering options for those who don't need the design or features of gaming centric products. And when the conversation turns towards case windows showing off an LED illuminated interior, the focus is usually on boutique brands or custom builds.

Today Dell has announced the new Inspiron Gaming Desktop with a clear side panel that combines budget friendly prices with a case window to show off your PC using blue LED lights. Processor configuration options include a couple of AMD APUs which aren't worth looking at on a gaming PC, as well as Ryzen 3 1200, Ryzen 5 1400 or 1600X, and Ryzen 7 1700 or 1700X or 1800X giving some great choices. Buyers can choose between air or water cooling options to suit their preference.

RAM ranges from an inadequate 4 GB up to a generous 32 GB, but there are only two DIMM slots, so there is currently no way to go over the 32 GB maximum. Graphics options are the NVIDIA GTX 1050 or GTX 1060 on the green team, or AMD RX 560 or 570 or 580 on the red team. Storage can be configured with various combinations of SSD and HDD.

Prices start at US$600 and move upwards from there.
