Pentium D with 2.8 GHz
Xp home edition
4 gig on a duo chanel
250 gig hardrive
dvd/cd burner
24" flat panel
logitech with bass extended speakers
and for those moments when you want to listen to music really loud
soundproof basment.
I bet your face is like this... but so was mine when it costed me $1,800+

This is an outcry.

Its unfair.

Why are YOU so damned lucky.

No, its ok your cool really, but I am still soooo mega jealous of you, and who wouldn't be.

I've just bought a fairly cheap for England laptop equivalent to $750, and full price it would be $1500 but it is still NOwhere near as good as yours.

Anyway, thats life, the bet things come as desktops is my motto .

Thats why I always buy Laptops and Notebooks.

Heh i wonder what graphics card is in yours.
Mine was around $850 AUD and here is my specs -
3GHZ pentium d
XP pro
1 gb of ram ( soon to be upgrading to 2gb because of the stutter lag in bf2 )
GeForce 6600 256mb
cdrw
120gb hd

Not as powerful as yours as far as things like hd space and ram but mine is a bit more on the performance side, and getting the parts here in Australia is cheap if you build it yourself ( and go to the right store )

anyway enjoy your new pc

-HellFire

well mine comes sort of close, for being 1 1/2 years old.
P4 3 Ghz
1 GB DDR2
XP Pro
Geforce 6600GT 128MB DDR3
DVD/RW
300GB HD
74GBx2 Raptor HD
Dell P1130 21 inch CRT
Asus 450W PSU

---edit: paid $1000 for it

Nope, I do not.
Pentium D with 2.8 GHz -> outdate technology, only Core2 or A64+ will do
Xp home edition -> erm, maybe Pro ?
4 gig on a duo chanel -> that's just overkill
250 gig hardrive -> about average
dvd/cd burner -> already have one
24" flat panel ->maybe, but no thank you
logitech with bass extended speakers -> my surround is more than enough
and for those moments when you want to listen to music really loud
soundproof basment. -> now that's what I want, at least it's cold overthere in the winter
I bet your face is like this... but so was mine when it costed me $1,800+ -> , no way I'm going to spend that amount of money on a computer

So basicly, I'm happy with what I have and people should learn that at a given moment, too much is too much and even more important, bragging with your computer and your money is pretty lame

no, I wish I had this instead:


but sadly, it'll cost me CAD $5000 for it...

xboxrulz

I think I might have you beat:


Processor:
AMD Athlon 64 X2 4600+ ( 2.4 ghz )
Socket AM2, Dual Core

RAM:
4Gig ( 4 x 1 GB sticks ) G.Skill DDR2 800 Ram
Cas Latency: 3

2 x 250gb SATA 3.0 GB/s

Video Card:
Radeon X1900 PCI Express x16
512mb of 256 bit GDD3 memory at 1450 mhz
Core Clock 625 mhz

2 x DVD Burner( one of them has lightscribe )

G15 Logitech Gaming Keyboard
MX518 Logitech Optical Gaming Mouse


All will run on Windows XP Pro


Havn't put it together yet because I had to send my case back because it had a bunch of dents in shipping but the rest of the parts are here waiting.

I basically spent every penny I earned over the summer.

Hey guys. I just wanna hear some of your opinions what you think about my new
Computer Very Happy..

Harddrive: Maxtor 6G160E0
Ram: Kingston HyperX DIMM 2GB kit
DVD: Toshiba SD-M2012

Well, that's about it. Would love to read some critics.

eh guys, specially those buying the powerful beasts, why don't you tell us about the kinda activity perform on your computers?

Are they primarily for gaming? If thats the case then its great. But if you are not a gamer, those specs are sheer waste of money. (maybe i am a bit jealous of your pc's power). But its true. Also I wonder why don't the people buying such configurations don't go for a good joystick. Coz if I were you, I would trim my budget somewhere to adjust for the forcefeed back joystick. After all I am buying it for Gaming!

I didn't get a very powerful hardware myself, because I am not a gamer of any kind, I usually like to play retro games through emulators.. So am not even interested into this kind of expensive hardware But, I also would like to have this, but maybe after one year it will all get cheaper.. I am really satisfied with my current setup AMD 1.7ghz, 1 GB of ram and an old cheap second hand Gforce2 64mb.. I needed a big monitor and I got it, so happily am using 1280x1024 and it didn't cost me a lot of money
