In this day and age

[Chris]

I find it simply amazing in this day and age of $300 laptops, desktops for $200 and LCD's for $100 that it is still possible to configure a single processor desktop for $9,616.14

Blows my mind

[nightowl]

wouldn't need to upgrade for a long time though

[YARDofSTUF]

Its not really that amazing to me.

3 high end video cards
Vista business
Office basic
4 1 terabyte drives
A NIC card when theres already 2 on the board
High end router
High end mobo
Photo printer
Color inkjet printer
Laser printer
Battery backup unit
Complete speaker system
High end sound card instead of using whats on the mobo
And a 30" monitor.

I find it amazing that you count all that as just a single processor desktop.

Those 200 dollar desktops sure dont come with anything near that.

[A_old]

Yea, you put in like 18 printers and 50 other things no one would ever need. dramatic point fail.

[Humboldt]

Looks like something a guy I work with would build. I'm not even sure what he has right now but it's insane.

I know, worthless post without specs.

[Chris]

Yea, you put in like 18 printers and 50 other things no one would ever need. dramatic point fail.

Didn't see 18 printers or fifty things in that post so you dramaticaly fail



The only point was going through a PC configuration on a sale site, and coming up with almost $10,000 in a single processor desktopcomputer....Insane, at least to me, but you on the other hand find that normal....If so, welcome to the unreal world, but for the rest of us mear mortals...insane

[Chris]

]Its not really that amazing to me.

3 high end video cards.,,,,,, who knows $$$$
Vista business...Couple hundred
Office basic .....why waste your time
4 1 terabyte drives..... $1500
A NIC card when theres already 2 on the board..... hey, when money is no object
High end router.... need a router don't ya?
High end mobo.... Everything I ever built was on a high end Mobo
Photo printer....for dem pron sites
Color inkjet printer....for graphing
Laser printer... gotta pump out dem resume's these days
Battery backup unit.... Necessity, I have one one my stereo and TV and every comp in the house
Complete speaker system....You tube just wouldn't be the same without it
High end sound card instead of using whats on the mobo....Who the hell uses onboard sound?
And a 30" monitor....Hey I'm getting old and blind
I find it amazing that you count all that as just a single processor desktoph....Heck, I've had a 3 gig processor since they were invented several years ago

Those 200 dollar desktops sure dont come with anything near that

Its more than single processor system as we have said, try comparing apples to apples and you'll see its not so insane.

[A_old]

i think you failed at drama. 1500 bucks for 400 bucks worth of hds? where are you configuring this? voodoo or something?

Still insane for a desktop as I type on my 4 year old 3 gig system.
Now take into consideration thats comming from someone who pays a mortgage, insurance, car payments, food , heat, electricity, internet, Phone, Repairs, income tax, accountants, medical expenses, and so on and so on.
If I had had my parents paying for everything I might have thought a $10000 dollar comp was normal

Man, I tell ya, the humor that used to be around this place has turned to nar⋅cis⋅sism.

Your 4 year old 3ghz is nothing like a quad core 3ghz cpu.

Taking into consideration all those those bills you should be happy that in this day and age we have a variety of systems to fit different peoples budgets.

A 10k PC is as normal as a 10k desk, but once again, the PC you listed doesnt cost 10k, its all the excess addons that do.

[Brk]

This went from a failed attempt at showing an expensive computer, to fail, then to some good ol' class envy.

Most people with enormo bills wouldn't be getting an expensive custom PC.

[YeOldeStonecat]

Granted I'm still on my first cup of coffee..but I'm pretty sure I got everything...but I'm not double checking.
Priced mostly at Newegg, some estimation for parts that didn't match up exactly, but you get a rough idea. PC itself can account for about $6,300.00.

Now factor in approx 20 bucks in cables...this place is still making nearly $2,500 per PC. Quite a fee for that "burn in/build" price.

you can get 1TB drives for about $100 now i think, and they just came out with 2TB drives as well.

as far as if a quad is worth it, sometimes yes it is,if doing video encoding then heck ya, plus some programs can use the GPU on video cards for cerrtain effects and filters as well.

[CableDude]

Got enough processes running, Mark?
