Well, what do we have here? An industry source has sent along information and images for a trio of new Dell Precision workstations using Intel's Nehalem architecture. The T3500 (starts at $999) sports up to 24GB DDR3 ECC memory. Just above that, we've got the T5500 (starts at $1,620) with up to 72GB of memory and dual socket Intel Xeon. Meanwhile, granddaddy T7500 (pictured; starts at $1,800) boasts 192GB of three-channel DDR3 ECC memory up to 1066 or 1333MHz, dual native Gen 2 PCIe graphics slots and supports NVIDIA SLI technology. All models feature an E-SATA port, up to 1.5TB SATA HDD, dual / quad monitor support, DisplayPort connectors, and for those trying to keep some assemblance of eco friendliness, these are all Energy Star 5.0 compliant. We also caught wind of new EqualLogic PS6000 and SSD-equipped PS6000S storage arrays, which start at around $17,000 and $25,000, respectively. Interests piqued?

Lenovo have announced a pair of new workstations, the Lenovo ThinkStation D20 and S20, intended for CAD and digital content creation. The blocky towers are fitted with Intel Xeon 5500 and W3500 series processors with optional Turbo Boost, together with NVIDIA Quadro or ATI FirePro graphics. Buyers can also specify the NVIDIA Tesla C1060 GPU platform.

The ThinkStation S20 and D20 are both earth-friendly, too, being made from 50-percent recycled content. In fact, in the D20, nearly a third of that recycled material comes from post-consumer waste, equivalent to around 19 plastic water bottles. The two systems also passed GREENGUARD chemical testing, and are Energy Star 5.0 compliant.


Lenovo have launched the S20 and D20 in tandem with the new Lenovo eLounge, an e-commerce platform offering online sales through a virtual world. The new workstations will be available this quarter, priced from $1,070 for the ThinkStation S20 and from $1,550 for the ThinkStation D20.
