Ok that is one kick @$$ computer... minus vista. Even gamiing aside my current laptop is slimmed down due to cpu and graphics for 3D and Video editing. Also think of compiz on that! Window shopping for computers if fun, even when you have no intention of buying, thou if i win the lottery dell will get another customer ''Hint

:shock: << me reading specs on dell site :P

[rabid9797]

i enjoy paying for overpriced, so-called gaming computers as well!

[Kingsley]

A computer with those specs would probably be $3000 cheaper in a few years.

[Quash]

Holy ****, thats expensive as hell. You can build a comp barebones for nearly a quarter the price and a nicer lookin case. At that kind of price you would think the comp is running dual matrox cards

[LaRoza]

It would be better to build one yourself.

[linux noooob]

i could build one for maybe 2000$ with those specs and i could just over clock the sh** out of everything and mod the cooling to my old freezer.


I am a moder on the edge!:guitar:

[coastdweller]

Overpriced, undervalued.

That dell will simply die long before it becomes outdated.

Anyone looking to buy a dell remember its all lowest bid product that goes into those machines. They are about the bottom line, period.

[Tundro Walker]

It's very ironic. Gaming helped spring-board computer evolution very quickly. I mean, we all needed bigger, badder comp's to play the latest hardware intensive games.

But now we have these extremely sophisticated machines that are used for...just playing games. I know, I know, folks do other things with them, too, but I just find it ironic that there's still a demand for higher end machines for...gaming.

But, I guess games do act like the testing grounds for new systems. As long as someone keeps making a more powerful machine, there will be someone making a game to push it to the limits.

Can't wait for them to develop those fully autonomous, nano-tech cybernetic robots...I've got a lot of house-cleaning that's piling up...LOL!

Ive never built a comp, ive always been a software person but I do intend to learn sometime. I aggree with the overpriced, but ive had three dells and they all work fine.
BTW: is it just me or isnt dell selling ubuntu. I dont see it listed on the os page (However they went back to selling xp :P; VIsta Sucks)

[Mateo]

I don't like weird looking cases. That thing looks like an ionic breeze air purifier. and what's up with the huge metal plate on the back? that would get in the way.

[n3tfury]

some of you nerds need to remember that not everyone wants to or likes to build their own PC's. if someone wants to spend that kind of money on a PC, let them unless you're offering your services.

[hessiess]

that thing is extremly ugly!

overcloced q6600 is pritty simaler for much less mony

[n3tfury]

i like the aesthetics.

[inversekinetix]

Ouch overpriced, doesnt support DDR3, only supports 800mhz ddr2, id rather save some money and put a couple of new 8800GTs in there.

Ive yet to see a ready made computer that I would buy.

[Lostincyberspace]

I've been building a dream comp on new EGG and it isn't that high and it has 11TB's of space and 1000 dollar raid controller.

[mouseboyx]

here is an even more "kick @$$ computer":

are they still only running ddr2 at 667mhz on macs?_

[wellery]

I'm not sure how this managed 4 stars for value. It's extremely expensive.

[-grubby]

$5600 !!!!!!:shock::shock::shock:

[ticopelp]

I'd consider buying a computer at that price.

If it came embedded in a sports car.

I completely aggree, except once you max out the mac it is aroun $1700 US so i am trying to stay some what plausible.... wait ... 5600 awh waht ever they both are overpriced.

[Glenn1337]

i've seen better... look at the Falcon Northwest Mach 5

a little overpriced but here it is

[Rupertronco]

There are plenty of smaller companies that use higher quality components for a significantly lower cost than that machine. I do have first hand experience with some of the hardware in it, particularly the 8800gtx sli setup (wish I waited for the ultras) and the qx6850 which have been a spectacular combination. I've always been a poor budgeter, so I end up spending a great deal of money on computers and have realized that it's pointless to run expensive chips, great video cards, and skimp on simple things (the Dell way) like power supplies, high quality ram, and motherboards. They've selected good core components but their choice of power supplies and motherboards scare me.

With nVidia's 780i (Penryn supporting chipset) on the horizon, as well as Intel's 45nm line, not to mention the 8800gtx(or whatever they call it) with the G92 core scheduled for release Q1 2008 I'd stay as far away from this as possible.

[svtfmook]

wow, that is incredibly overpriced!
