Feast your eyes on the ultimate Vista PC. Talking about pimping your PC for Windows Vista. Microsoft and Dell went all the way on this custom machine designed especially for
Windows Vista. The system is an integer part of a Microsoft and Dell joint promotion intimately connected with the Redmond Company's operating system.

“This hot-rod took the fastest Dell Media Center PC on the planet, then added a tricked out paint job by mondo paint mod shop Colorware to commemorate Windows Vista release to manufacturing. As the picture hints at, the finished result is top-notch automotive-quality paint that appears lit from within,” reveals Sean Alexander, Group Product Manager at Microsoft.

And as I'm sure that you are dying to know what's under the hood, here it is:

- Intel Core 2 Duo E6700 Processor
- 512MB NVidia GeForce 7900 GTX
- 4GB RAM Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM @ 667mhz
- 1Terabyte RAID0 SATA HDDs (2x500MB)
- 48x Combo + 16x DVD+/-RW Double Layer Burner
- Dual TV Tuners (Analog)
- Dell 30" Widescreen Flat Panel Monitor
- Full 5.1 Surround Sound system

“The Vista screamer was conceived as a way to commemorate the RTM of Windows Vista at the ship party. A few were made, and one contributed to Microsoft's annual, "Giving Campaign" where OEM employees raffled it off, with Microsoft matching the raffled amount going to the United Way. Considering the full version will put you back $3200+tax, that's a healthy donation,” added Alexander revealing that the system has a 5.2 Windows Experience Index.
