Right....  big deal, for 14K+!
 

[The Postman]

I am surprised they included a floppy drive.  

[Dash Jones]

It's overpriced and has several items that you would never use...you could probably build a very similar machine for around 2 to 3000 on your own...and not getting the things you don't need...Just my thoughts.

[JMM]

Once nanotechnology gets it down in the microchip field, this p/c will be nothing more than an oversized, overpriced handheld calculator. IBM has already been making breakthroughs, and I estimate the breakthrough will be this decade just like semiconductors hot the roof in the 90's. It's fact and not fantasy, even the federal govt. is pumping a couple of billion into R & D of nanotechnology.  

[Maxillius]

Actually, I think a large chunk of the 14k is tied up in the twin 30-inch LCD monitors.  I'd take one very happily, what the hell you need 2 for??

[EmeraldEdge]

Well, if you are doing video editing, two monitors comes in REAL handy.  

[TalonClaw]

It definately make you drool but way over priced it is.

yup your right. overpriced tosh. your paying for the badge and the tech support.

My new system for $1500:
AMD Athlon 64 3200+
Thermaltake Venus 12 HS/Fan
Chaintech Zenith mobo
Chieftec full tower case w/window (4 fans)
2x Kingson PC3200 512MB DIMMs
Saphire Radeon 9800 pro
Logitech cordless duo
Maxtor 160 GB 7200 rpm SATA-150 HDD
NEC 4x DVD-+RW drive

It probably performs about as good as anything alienware puts out, less the 200 mhz and the second HT channel on the FX and the  clock cycles on the 9800 XT (I do appear to have a good card for OCing however).  

[Sirgod]

Nice looking system there Hobbes,

Yeah I thought this system was way over priced when  a friend sent me an email about It wanting my advice. I pretty much told him the same thing as you guys said.

I just thought It was Pretty funny that there are actually People out there who want and Buy that kind of system.
