came up to a little over $6k, or ~$185/month, which I can hack. Got all excited because it was a realistic dream; I didn't just select biggest and best of what was offered, only what I thought I'd use


-Intel® Core™ i7-965 Extreme - Level 2 (Factory O/C'd to 3.73GHz)
-6GB Tri-Channel DDR3 at 1066MHZ (3x2GB DIMM)
-SLi, Dual nVidia GeForce GTX280 1024MB
-750GB - SATA-II, 3GB/S, 7200RPM, 16MB Cache
-Single Drive: 16X CD/DVD burner (DVD+/-RW) w/double layer write capability
-24 inch 2408WFP Ultrasharp Widescreen Flat Panel Monitor
-Soundblaster X-Fi XtremeGamer (D), PCIe
-Dell 19-in-1 Media Card Reader with Bluetooth 2.0
-plus all the accessories, warranties, software and crap


went to apply for the line of credit but was denied. I have good credit, or so I thought...DAMN YOU FREDDIE MAC

So are you getting it? Because if so I'm very jealous. That computer won't be obsolete for at least 3 years.

i'm not even using my E8200 to its full potential...i don't think i'll need an i7 for another few years

even my 512mb hd4870 is doing fine

you are seriously going to pay $6k for a computer? Are they hiring where you work?

11/18/2008 9:07:34 AM

DUDE YOURE GETTING A DELL

Seriously, are they hiring where you work?

weak sauce



and yeah, this is a rip.

A new line of credit, for a computer?

wtf

11/18/2008 9:46:01 AM

oh man I eat 750 GB for breakfast

seriously, though - I would have to upgrade it in a month

11/18/2008 9:51:13 AM

yeah but hdd space is cheap.

the rest of this rig, however

seems like overkill

11/18/2008 9:54:36 AM

nice.

11/18/2008 9:54:51 AM

yeah it sounds like he is making a video editing workstation

I mean all of that makes sense except it isn't a Mac running Final Cut

Don't waste your money, especially with shitty dell parts. Build it yourself.

11/18/2008 10:12:46 AM

^que?

shitty dell parts? I've had Dell's for years (and my family) and not that many problems. Sure we had a few things go bad, like any manufacturer.
