Possible New Addition

[LANMAN]

If I can work the numbers, I might have a huge addition to my fleet. 😀

Here are the specs:

Dell Precision 470
Single Xeon 3.0Ghz 1Meg 800Mhz Processor (Dual Capable)
1Gig DDR2 ECC SDRAM
Two 17" Flat Panel monitors
Nvidia Quadro FX 3100, 128Meg, dual VGA or DVI
Two 80G SATA Drives RAID1
Windows XP Pro
Sound Blaster Audigy 2 PCI w/Dolby Digital 5.1/IEEE 1394a
(ISV Certified Workstation)

So far its running $3,304.28 to the door. Compaq for the same config was over $4,000.00

What will really fry your brain!!

For the same cash, I could buy 12 - 3.2 Ghz processors w/mobo's and memory for the same money.

Doh??

😕 😀

those are nice machines, I've seen them rendering in autocad with a very similar setup, very fast (esp. when you actually enable HT, it's disabled by default)

Puchase has been put on hold until 1Q 05' 🙁 :|

Oh well.... I'll just requote and config the rig and see what a extra few months brings.

At least it was approved for next year... Better then then never, right?
