I could make a better pc with a better looking case for 3 grand

 

[dexvx]

Minus case, thats about 2.5k of components max.

 

[bnads]

free shirt omg~

 

[Trey22]

Don't know how they stay in business.

 

[GloryField]

Try adding a X1900 Crossfire mastercard upgrade, they charge you 800 bucks for a 400 bucks card

 

[dcr]

It's gold fool!

 

[Geomagick]

It does seem a bit much.

However whatever floats your boat.

 

[GloryField]

so they have gold transisters on their X1900 crossfire mastercard?

 

[Rommel44]

Really crazy.

 

[mb]

Yeah, but how does it taste? Does it get soggy in milk?

If you max it out, it comes to roughly $25,000 USD.

 

[bnads]

so yea I got bored and selected all the options...

$25224.51 as low as $756.74/mo.

BUY A NEW CAR? OR BUY A COMPUTER?
you can also buy a new car instead even with the basic options SO SAD~

I would love to meet the person that would drop that kind of money on that thing..

I want one!

I've priced out Voodoo's on a number of occassions and always came to the conclusion that they are ridiculously overpriced.

Obviously building your own is the most economical option and that's what I ended up doing.

However, there definitely are people who don't want to build their own machine and I think it good that Dell is now offering the XPS machines. Even though you pay a premium, they seem to be much more economical than what Voodoo is charging. Competition is always a good thing.

 

[acegazda]

their laptops are where the money's @! A 15.4 widescreen with a 1920x1200 screen! Only 6lbs and 1" thick! (It's $5000)

Ok, just for interests sake, and because work is boring today , I priced out something at Dell:

XPS 700 Intel® Core?2 Extreme processor x6800 (2.93GHz)

Operating System Genuine Windows® XP Media Center 2005 Edition

Memory 4GB Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 667MHz - 4 DIMMs

Keyboard LOGITECH G15 Gaming Keyboard (ships separately)

Video Cards Dual 512MB nVidia GeForce 7900 GTX

Hard Drive 1TB Performance RAID 0 (2 x 500GB SATA 3Gb/s 7200 RPM HDDs)

Mouse RAZER Diamondback Salamander Gaming Mouse with eXactMat (ships separately)

Optical Drive Dual Drives: 16x DVD-ROM Drive + 16x DVD+/-RW w/ dbl layer write capable

Sound Cards Sound Blaster® X-Fi? XtremeMusic (D), w/Dolby® Digital 5.1

Speakers Dell AS501 10W Flat Panel Attached Spkrs for UltraSharp? Flat Panels

Physics Accelerator AGEIA® PhysX® physics accelerator

Dell UltraSharp Widescreen 3007WFP Qty 1

TOTAL:$7,048.00

So the extra stuff you get for $6,600 less: SLI'ed 7900GTXes, double the RAM, a PPU, double the storage and a beautiful 30" monitor, all with complete care warranty for 3 years...WOW!
