Another season, another iteration of the Dell XPS 700. As the "mid-level" version of Dell's high-end gaming system, The XPS 730x ($3,809, direct) is positioned somewhere between the $1,700 base model and the top-of-the-line XPS 730x H2C, which can top $6,000 with all the bells and whistles. At its price point, the 730x retains the massive chassis and power while giving up a little performance in order to save some of your hard-earned dollars. Think of it as the luxury sports car with the "stock" V8 motor: Sure, you won't have the full power of the turbocharged V10, but you'll still have all the looks and most of the cachet.
