The one for the XPS (non-H2C) is silver. It's currently an option on the air-cooled 720 and they even have a picture of it.1857

I suppose this means XPS720 is end of life, Dell trying to clear out excess inventory.
XPS730 must be around the corner ;)
Peace

Guys, here's some speculating for you.
Notice the concave in the side panel, now notice the way it's just in the front 2 0r 3 inches, just like the preview 730 cases look!!!
Can it be they are using the 720 case with different motherboard tray and back panel for the location of the rear i/o panel????
That would truely be awesome!!!! I'd have this motherboard changed to an atx as soon as the parts were available!!!And the preview 730, this is the same case guys!!!

JD,
I have no doubt that this is built on the same chassis as the 720. I would assume a new mobo tray and rear panel would be essential. You might need a new PSU, and front I/O panel as well. I am sure you could use retail PSU and mobo and get creative with the front panel. I am sure you can find something in retail for the power switch and I/O ports. Man, I wish I still had my 700 case. I would LOVE to build a retail ATX system with custom watercooling in the XPS chassis.

PG,
Thats just what I'd like to do. This ATX factor opens up all those avenues. I was gonna blow these things out when the 630 was introduced, but I'm sure glad I didn't. I did finally pick up an all black case on ebay with a 1k power supply, so I'll switch the guts of this one into that for now.

Can anyone verify the price for the black UK XPS 720 H2C clear side panel please?
It was about £200-£400 or something daft when I bought my PC in january not long ago which I definately wasn't going to pay just for a side panel, was a good job as well considering the issues I've had with the comp, (it not liking its own memory that came factory installed) so if theyre still around that price then its just as much of a ripoff.
However if theyre now reduced in price to something more reasonable such as £100 at max then I may consider.

I have just called this number to buy the black side cover, I was on the phone for 25 minutes, 10 on hold, gave part number, and was on hold, she comes back, no such part, switches me to another number, this dude asks me whats wrong with my monitor? On hold again, comes back on line, no such part....These people are clueless. I want this side cover....I need help......or rather, Dell parts need help!!!!
