What More can we get?
Pros: Great shape, cutting-edge specifications
Cons: So expensive (insanely),
I gave 8 as i divided the 2 because of the price, and for a friend who talked about building your own system, I am sure that he knows that the brandname has its price, the warranty and customer support (knowing that dell is sp special in its support) "Most of the time". so even the price isn't from the moon.. this machine is loaded with heavy stuff.. thank you so much,,

a pathetic gaming machine
Pros: Not Available
Cons: Not Available
Anyway, OC 955 (3.46GHz overclocked to 4.26GHz) means that the cpus is going to get hot, really hot. Since Dell doesn't offer liquid cooling like most others high end companies; this is going to be a loud, hot, and, noisy machine.
But will this OC 955 running at 4.26GHZ ready to take on the AMD?

Even a stock AMD X2 4800+ beats the OC 955. Did you guys see what happens to the 955 running at stock speed? hehe...even more pathetic.
Dell also feature quad graphic card systems. This will attract people but just because you have a 4 x setup it is not a true 4 x sli setup since it is still only a 2 x 16 mobo so 2 cards can fit. Also there is only a 33% increase over a 2 x sli setup...which is pathetic if you ask me.
For the first time, dell offers 10,000RPM harddrives for revolutionary XPS 600 regenade gaming machine. Alienware and other highend gaming companies offered this option forever now.
This is going to be one expensive machine. the current xps 600 top end series with the crappy intel pentium D 840 EE costs around $4800. You can read about review on the XPS 600 here:

I can't imagine how much the REGEGADE edition will costs.
Save yourself the heartache people. Get yourself an Alienware ALX if you're true gamer.
