I can't believe how many people spent 10 grand on a PC

I'm not all that surprised. did we not just see LED rims? come on... people will buy anything.

fuck if dell had put the virgin mary or jesus on there they could of charged double.


funny thing I bet it still runs slow as hell from that 2 tons of crap software dell preloads onto thier machines.

[Hamma]

That's probably a good bet.

Haven't you learned Hamma,anyone will buy something if it has flames on.I sold one of my cats for a hundred bucks by spraypainting flames on it.

[Squeeky]

FLAME PAINTJOB, GIT R' DONE

What's the profit margin on that? 60%?

[OneManArmy]

dont forget shiny. I like shiny too.

DUH! Dell has to feed the computer $1000 for each half GHz of overclock.

I'd have bought one if i had the cash.

Then I'd have ebayed it as a collectors item starting at 10k.

Wow. Thats just sad. It just goes to prove how dumb the general public is.

Still, you must admit, that is an amazing system. I mean, Quad-SLI, that is 2 times the power in the PS3... and 4 times as fast a 360... Plus the OC and what not, still not worth 10 grand, but still, defintley an amazing system.

[Setari]

Perhaps, but if you wait long enough for something that takes advantage of the specs, we'll have stuff at normal prices that'll be more powerful.

Actually... it's not really. I mean yes, it's awesome, but you can easily find/build better rigs than that. I mean, those video cards are already outdated, as is the CPU. Not to mention... it's an Intel. All EEs are is an Intel with a large cache. Add in some "overclocking" (which is hardly overclocking when it comes from Dell pre-clocked). I still prefer AMD chips way more than Intel when it comes to gaming.

I'm not saying its a bad machine either... just that it's definately nothing special at the moment.

Out of curiosity what were its exact specs. I want to see what it would cost if you built it yourself. Anyone know?

I got a labtop and maxed it out with all the best equipment and it only cost $2000.
