Japan got the first crack at Dell’s new multitouch all-in-one Studio One 19 in March, but it’s finally headed our way. As expected, prices start at $699, with a Pentium E5200 Dual Core processor, GeForce 9200 integrated graphics, a 320GB HDD, 2GB of RAM and a slot-loading DVD burner in the low-end. Built-in webcams and multitouch features are present across the board. Check out a video of the multitouch functionality after the break: nothing much beyond the usual gimmicks, though we’re a fan of letting your kid lay down beats with his jam-covered fingers — that’s true love.

For middle-of-the-high-road types, HP just debuted its new Pavilion Elite m9600 series of Core i7 excitement. Things don’t get quite as wild as Dell’s new 24GB monsters, but HP packs in a respectable amount of power for the price. The base configuration includes a Core i7 920 2.66Ghz processor, 4GB of RAM, 500GB hard drive, NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GS graphics and a DVD burner, all for $950, and you can escalate up to a Core i7 940 2.93GHz processor, 12GB of RAM, a couple of 1TB hard drives, 1GB ATI Radeon HD 4850 graphics and a Blu-ray burner. HP is also outing four new 16:9 monitors, the 18.5-inch w1858, 20-inch 2009m, 21.5-inch 2159m and 23-inch w2338h. The latter two include HDMI inputs, and the prices range from $170 to $300 — not bad at all.

IBuyPower’s been on a pretty good roll of late with these new gaming desktops, and it’s keeping things interesting with its latest two. Rather than just shoving the latest processors from AMD and Intel into the Gamer Fire 640 and Gamer Paladin F830 and calling it a day, it has thrown in a 22-inch Samsung SyncMaster LCD and NVIDIA’s GeForce 3D Vision system with each rig. As for the Gamer Fire 640 specifically, it comes loaded with an AMD Phenom II X3 720 CPU, 4GB of DDR3 RAM, a 500GB hard drive, a GeForce 9800GTX+ (512MB), dual-layer DVD writer and Vista Home Premium 64-bit.

Detailed specs (along with the full release) are just past the break, but if you’re scouting base prices, they sit at $1,349 and $1,999 in order of mention.

El Monte, CA – March 09, 2009 – iBUYPOWER, known for its innovative and powerful gaming PCs, is excited to launch two new systems that feature the NVIDIA GeForce 3D Vision technology. The combination of high-tech wireless glasses, the Samsung 22″ SyncMaster 120Hz LCD monitor, the most advanced NVIDIA GeForce graphics hardware and software transforms game play and movie experiences into interactive life-like adventures.

“At iBUYPOWER we are always looking to add cutting edge technology gamers crave to boost PC Gaming to the next level, untouchable by the current generation of consoles.” said Darren Su, Vice President of iBUYPOWER. “By adding systems that feature the GeForce 3D Vision we are giving our customers a chance to interact with their games in way never before imagined.”

iBUYPOWER outfitted two systems with the NVIDIA GeForce 3D Vision and Samsung 22″ 120Hz Monitor bundle: the AMD Socket AM3-based Gamer Fire 640-3D and the Intel Core i7-based Gamer Paladin F830-3D. These complete stereoscopic 3D gaming solutions start at a value-priced $1349 – including monitor, GeForce 3D vision, a 1600DPI laser gaming mouse, and multimedia keyboard. These systems are fully customizable on iBUYPOWER.com with a vast selection of upgrades such as 1200 watt-power supplies, Intel’s 80GB X-25 Gaming SSD, up to 12GB memory, and Quad-SLI GeForce GTX 295 graphics.

NVIDIA 3D vision is compatible with hundreds of existing new and old game titles, including Left 4 Dead, Call of Duty: World at War, and Mirror’s edge with GeForce PhysX support. These games require no additional software modification or patches beyond a capable system with the GeForce 3D Vision hardware bundle to display an immersive stereoscopic 3D experience.
