"Dell today launched what it says is its smallest desktop computer yet. The OptiPlex SX260 is 50 percent smaller than the company's current OptiPlex machines and comes with an LCD (liquid crystal display) monitor."

Ah, I see.
Every time a PC maker comes out with a machne with an optional LCD, it's an iMac ripoff, yessssss.............I see the truth now............

I'd have to agree with edvniow on this one, just because a pc manufacturer designs a pc that is "space-saving" and in an all-in-one unit, doesnt automatically make it a iMac rip-off. As a matter of fact, other than a flat LCD this Dell bears no resemblance to the iMac.
and it might be ugly, but at least they don't have a commercial with their god-awful pc bashing the iMac.....

saying it might be ugly is being nice. This is so bad that I wouldn't even compair it to an iMac. I looks like they took all the major parts and just stuck them to a frame. Ugh. I'll have to go find one of these and get a closer look, though.

How odd, I was thinking the same thing. That computer definitely isn't an iMac ripoff. I like it.

i agree that's it's definitely not an iMac ripoff. looks nothing near as good as the iMacs, but it is good to see a space saving PC.

I kinda like it. Nice clean lines, no BS (no floppy either). I'd be a little more excited if Dell wasn't part of the reason why I switched to Mac.
