Dell's $10K XPS 600 Renegade sold out


Dell's $10K XPS 600 Renegade sold out:

If you've been saving your pennies for one of Dell's $10,000 XPS 600 Renegade computers, you can stop now and spend the cash on something else (like, maybe, an Alienware box). Dell has announced that the luxe gaming rig is already sold out, after less than a month on the market. Of course, the Renegade was always listed as a 'Limited Edition' box, and Dell was a little coy about what that actually meant. We figure they probably made about 10, and Michael Dell picked up at least three of those for his own collection, and gave two more to Nelson Gonzalez and Alex Aguila. The other five? Our guess is that they burst into flames from that 'factory overclocked' processor (or the paint job), and are now being refurbished for sale via Dell's outlet site for a mere $8,999."

Rumor: MacBooks in Colors?


Rumor: MacBooks in Colors?: "In a fawning, rambling article that takes forever to get to the point, Apple Insider passes along vague rumors that we may see at least two MacBooks that are festooned in colors other than the revered iMac White. Adding to rumors from earlier this year that Apple was thinking about making a black version of these latest Intel-packing notebooks, the article never quite gets around to telling us what those other colors might be, other than calling them 'solid colors,' 'fashionable' and 'sleek.' To us, sounds like one of them is going to be black, if you call that a color.

Mini-Fridge Case Mod


Mini-Fridge Case Mod: "This project was completed with a $200 budget and most mini-fridges will run your $100 or less, but this is a nice addition to any geek's setup. Paying two times as much to be two times cooler? I think it is worth it, just imagine how many ladies you could get with this.

Essentially it is a dismantled mini-fridge placed inside a stripped-out Thermaltake case. Add in a little shelving and, of course, a temperature gauge, for a perfect refrigerato to feed the late-night gaming urges.
