Hjemmecomputerne er for alvor begyndt at være designet i forhold til størrelse og udseende, så de kan få plads i familiernes opholdsstue, uden myretuer af ledninger og kedelige store går flader.
Dell lancerede i oktober en ny og meget lille desktop netop til dette brug, uden dog at gå på kompromis med ydelsen. Hardwaret I denne desktop er typisk Pentium 4 2.0GHz, 256MB DDR-SDRAM, 20 GB harddisk, 24X CD-ROM drev samt Intel Pro/1000MT Gigabit Ethernet netværksadapter. Skærmen er en 15" UltraSharp SX260 TFT-skærm.
Følgende blev annonceret i forbindelse med nyheden:
?At an event in Tokyo this week, Dell announced the introduction of its smallest desktop ever, the OptiPlex SX260.
The company is making available worldwide the new OptiPlex SX260, claimed to be its "smallest and most flexible desktop computer" ever. Michael Dell was there for the announcement: "The OptiPlex SX260 is a result of direct customer feedback," he said. "The SX260 is ideally suited for space-conscious customers, including many in the Japanese market, but doesn't sacrifice power as a result of its small size."?
