Design and Features
The Precision 5810 is built into a large tower chassis, measuring about 16.5 by 7 by 18.5 inches (HWD). It's far from portable, but it does have a good ergonomics. The front and back panel are perforated, providing good airflow through the chassis and over heat-producing components. The front face is a vertical bi-level, with an aluminum handle to help in moving the system around. There's another handle in the back for pulling the workstation under a desk from the other side. That's the main design philosophy of the Precision T5610 chassis: It's made for the IT pro who needs to service it. All the levers and touch points that move are marked with the same cornflower blue color, and they're all tool-less, so you can pop PCIe cards, the power supply, or hard drives in and out of the chassis in seconds.
