    have you guys heard of the new Dell?

    This is the new computer that Dells putting out to kill the xbox360. What do you guys think?




    Proving they can run with the big dogs like Voodoo and Alienware, Dell introduced their XPS 600 Renegade during Michael Dell's keynote. You're immediately drawn to the custom painted case courtesy of Mike Lavallee from Killer Paint, but it's what inside that matters most. Fired by a factory overclocked Intel Extreme Edition running at 4.26GHz, the Renegade fully supports four graphics cards. To be more specific, those zippy cards are NVIDIA's GeForce 7800 SLI cards; two fit in the PCI-Express slots and two more are slaved from those, each with 512MB of memory. Can you say super high res at mucho frames per second? Storage is a non-issue as Dell planned ahead with one 10,000 RPM 150GB drive and two 250GB drives running at 7,200 RPM. Dell expects this custom hardware available by end of the month and we're looking at the $4,000 to $7,000 range, depending on options. Not that there's room for more in this hot box, but what else could or would you add?

      I think that with those specs, it might actually burst into flames.

        Dell have already pr oven they can run with alienware and actually go one further. There Inspiron 9100 was cheaper and actually better (slightly) than the Alienware equivalent.

        A lot of people seam to think Dells are a pile of crap but there starting to prove people wrong... well, in Europe anyway, America is still getting the crap assembled in India.

          I'd like to see what they're gonna use to cool this beast. Perhaps there should be a fire extinguisher mounted on the side too.

            Now all they need to do is bring back customer service to the United states and not some middle east country so i can actually understand what the person is saying!

              I think 3-400 for the xb360.... 4-7k for the computer?!? Xbox.

              However that being said. NICE system. I will enjoy sitting back and reading what people, who can afford it, write about it.

              But given all that.... You can cram 15 video cards into a 10ghz system... but if the game itself is screwed up..... nothing the computer can do will help it.

                  On the plus side you'd save money on having to buy a space heater for the winter season.

                    I would rather build my own to meet or beat those specs, use a case that I picked out, and dump the Intel Cpu for an AMD.

                    I'm guessing here as I haven't looked at prices, but 4 grand should be more than enough. *shrugs*

                      The person who buys this can already play UT 2007 and Quake wars maxed out with 200+ fps i would assume... just about every next gen 2006+2007 game will run fine.

                      What a pc.

                        Theres the FX-60 coming out though, it's dual core and runs at 2.6 ghz. Would knock the socks off that cpu, and you can get 2 asus 7800gt dual cards and run sli and have 4 gfx cores. I think the case is really ugly too. But for the rich and stupid usualy some spoiled 12 yearold kid will get it, not know how to use it and whatever.
