Dell's Monster PC - Too Bad They're Only Making 25 of Them
Posted by Jason Dunn in "NEWS" @ 04:31 PM
"I visited with Dell today and spoke with one of their Dell Direct employees about the future of high end PCs for Dell and what we might expect from them in 2006. The first thing the Dell rep showed me was a new Dell box due out in February called the Renegade. And boy what a sweet box this was. The box is a virtual PC powerhouse with four GeForce 7800 GPUs, an Intel Pentium Extreme Edition that comes overclocked from dell at 4.6GHz, two 10,000 RPM 150 GB Raptor drives and a pretty major power and cooling systems. The Renegade will also in fact be something of a collector's item. Not only will it be Dell's most powerful PC but they are only going to sell 25 of them. Yep, you read that right, 25. Why only 25? Mostly because of the paint job on the case. The paint job on each of the 25 will be done by Mike Lavallee who the Dell rep was quick to point out to me also paints for Jesse James. I had to look Jesse James up online as the only Jesse James I knew was that old outlaw, but it turns out Jesse started something called West Coast Choppers and he's somewhat famous, as is Lavallee as a painter of fire and flames. In any event, I guess Mike paints Jesse's bike."
That's one gorgeous PC, on par with the likes of Voodoo. Micheal Dell, if you're reading this, please send me one. :lol:
