Do you remember that slick-looking, flame covered Quad-SLI powered Dell rig we showed you all in our CES coverage from earlier this year? Well, it looks like Dell has finally made good and have begun taking orders for their XPS 600 Renegade. Unlike the system we saw at CES though, the "final" XPS 600 Renegade is sporting Quad GeForce 7900 GTXs, and one of AGEIA's brand-new PhysX cards is available as an option. The base specifications include:
- Intel Pentium Extreme Edition CPU @ 4.26GHz (Pre-Overclocked)
- NVIDIA GeForce 7900 GTX GPUs x 4, each with 512MB of memory (2GB Total)
- 2GB of Low-Latency DDR2-667 RAM
- Sound Blaster X-Fi Fatal1y Sound Card
- NVIDIA nForce 4 SLI X16 Motherboard
- Dual 160GB Western Digital Raptor X Hard Drives in a RAID 0 configuration, plus an additional 400GB HD for storage
- Custom Painted Case
- Windows XP Professional
Dell's page states that quantities are limited, but if you can cover the almost $10,000 price tag you can make one of these systems yours.

Marco's interest in computing and technology dates all the way back to his early childhood. Even before being exposed to the Commodore P.E.T. and later the Commodore 64 in the early ‘80s, he was interested in electricity and electronics, and he still has the modded AFX cars and shop-worn soldering irons to prove it. Once he got his hands on his own Commodore 64, however, computing became Marco's passion. Throughout his academic and professional lives, Marco has worked with virtually every major platform from the TRS-80 and Amiga, to today's high end, multi-core servers. Over the years, he has worked in many fields related to technology and computing, including system design, assembly and sales, professional quality assurance testing, and technical writing. In addition to being the Managing Editor here at HotHardware for close to 15 years, Marco is also a freelance writer whose work has been published in a number of PC and technology related print publications and he is a regular fixture on HotHardware’s own Two and a Half Geeks webcast. - Contact: marco(at)hothardware(dot)com
