While at E3 this week, PC Perspective stumbled on a system and some information pointing to a Dell system sitting at the NVIDIA booth. It appears we are seeing the first Conroe-based PC, sporting an unannounced NVIDIA chipset with Intel Conroe support as well as the latest Quad SLI revision. Could this be the best gaming system ever?
Another interesting note here was found by wedging myself in the back of the display to take this picture. You can see that there are two video cards in the case, as we would expect with SLI. However, the card configuration isn't like anything currently available in retail -- the most noteable difference is that the exhaust fan is ABOVE the DVI outputs on both cards. I think I have seen that design somewhere though...and I am pretty sure we are seeing the upcoming revision to Quad SLI.
