Following in the footsteps of previous ‘400' series models, the XPS 420 is a multimedia powerhouse rather than a pure gaming behemoth like it's bigger '700' series brothers. Not to say it's incapable when it comes to the old runnin' and gunnin' though. Apart from the bottom line base spec all the systems have more than enough gaming performance, the only limitation being the small chassis limits you to single graphics card configurations - no SLI or Crossfire here.
The case itself is much the same design as previous models with just a few tweaks here and there. It's midi-tower sized (45cm x 46cm x 19cm) so will just about fit on or under most desks and is made of the usual combination of steel and plastic. The side panels retain the matt silver paint of previous models but this latest version now incorporates a shiny black plastic strip that runs up the front and over the back. The combination looks perfectly reasonable and I wouldn't be averse to having it on my desk. However, the plastic is an absolute dust magnet and would no doubt pick up scratches very easily.
