          People from Falcon Northwest [falcon-nw.com] make the best damn PCs ever. If you still wanna build it yourself, you can at least look at their specs.

              Newegg is definitely the site to order from. The customer reviews that they have can come in really handy as well.

              A lot of knowledgeable people comment there. For instance, when I ordered my video card, from newegg a little over a year ago, I was stuck between a couple different choices. Thanks to the reviews I picked an inexpensive card that was able to have it's bios flashed to open up extra pixel pipelines, effectively making it the next model, or two, up. Even found the website info to download the flash utility from there. The shit actually worked too, first try, and only took about 5 minutes total.

              Newegg > *

                What kind of specs? I need a new computer and can't decide whether to try building or just buy one from Dell. The Dell box I was looking at was $2000.

                          u don't want 1 super computer..

                          you want three or four decent computers hooked up to KVM.. that way if something fucks up u've got redundancy. use 2 computers for applications and 1 as a server for backups etc.

                          Intel mobo's
                          2gb+ RAM
                          2 x 320gb HDD (RAID1), maybe 3 x 500gb (RAID5) HDD for server
                          AMD Dual core processors (64bit).

                          You should be able to build each pc for not much more than $500 each

                                        go to newegg's forums. You can look around there and see what others are building.
                                        In November, you can vote for America's next president or its first dictator.

                                          Don't use price watch. I purchased a few CPU's from there that were really cheap. They ended up being demo pulls, I had to have my lawyer mediate the sitution to get my money back.

                                          These were CPU's that cost about $1500 each. It turns out they got them free from intel as samples. Fuckers..
                                          .

                                            Opt for the 8-core Mac Pro and you get the power of two Quad-Core Intel Xeon ?Clovertown? processors running at 3.0GHz. Or choose a quad-core Mac Pro featuring two Dual-Core Intel Xeon ?Woodcrest? processors and decide how fast they fly: 2.0GHz, 2.66GHz, or 3.0GHz. At 3.0GHz, the quad-core Mac Pro runs up to 2x faster than the Power Mac G5 Quad.1

                                                Juicy, seriously, do you like fucking around putting machines together or are you just looking for something powerful? If you just want something top of the line that can run a variety of multiple OS's then I would stop fucking around and just get a MacPro as Argoz stated. You get the power, simplicity, and ease of use of Tiger and upcoming Leopard as well as setting up virtual machines with VMWare to install a multitude of other OS's if you wish.

                                                  i was looking at the Mac actually , and the power looks amazing.

                                                  But i initially wanted to do this as a project and such and say "i made this" and so on , kinda like a hobby
