What's the best desktop computer money can buy?

**Liquid Houdini** · 05-06-2006, 06:24 AM

The question is - why?

Will investing $17k in a computer net you more profits than one for $2k?

I'd wait for the new powermac

Leave it to Apple to come out with an 8 core or something nuts.

That's about the most retarded thing I've heard recently.

You don't actually think people believe that bullshit, do you?

What do you do - carry it around on your shoulders whenever you visit potential clients? Take snapshots of it in your wallet to flash? Mount it on the hood of your ___________ (insert ego car model here)?

You da man, Herb Tarlek.

**HorseShit** · 05-06-2006, 08:40 AM

Yes, because I care about what computer you are using right now haaaahaha

**tranza** · 05-06-2006, 08:42 AM

I perceive them as idiots with small penises. Also people surfing for porn are going to know what type of computer you have?

**qwe** · 05-06-2006, 10:56 AM

i builded pc not too long ago for like 2.5k and this thing goes through anything... any games, any apps I run, that 4400 dual core x2 cpu is always at 40-50% usage nometter what I run, IT JUST DOESNT MAX OUT lol... so my point is, anything over 5k is a waste...

**SilentKnight** · 05-06-2006, 11:17 AM

What an amusing little thread.

**Cyrano** · 05-06-2006, 11:21 AM

You'd have to be a complete and utter moron to spend $17,000 on a PC.

**Fucksakes** · 05-06-2006, 11:22 AM

did i not make enough posts about alienware being crap?

do some research about them before reading all the bullshit they post on their site to grab your interest.

And I warn you they got the worst support I've ever came across.

**Fucksakes** · 05-06-2006, 11:24 AM

so far this laptop spent half its life in this box, shipping to alienware and back over and over. no lie.

An Amish computer at $50,000+ is a waste of money. You're basically paying for the furniture on a nothing special computer. However, I don't find the Alianware Aurora to be wasted money since your getting top-of-lines features for the price. What other computer pc can match it for that price or less?

**Fucksakes** · 05-06-2006, 11:30 AM

Buy a decent system ($3,000 - $5,000) instead. Upgrade certain components every year or two, you'll save a lot of money.

**Spunky** · 05-06-2006, 11:48 AM

I wouldn't waste 17k on a desktop..ridiculous

Webmastering, stocks portfolio management, gaming, surfing, etc.

**madawgz** · 05-07-2006, 08:19 AM

seriously, someone would spend 17k on a desktop??

**psili** · 05-07-2006, 08:26 AM

This thread's a joke, right?

It has to be. Really.

Otherwise, someone's a fucking retard, in the literal sense; they have downs syndrome and are very handicapped and should be kept away from a computer in the first place.

People do spend more than 17K on a good desktop.

What are they doing with that "desktop" ?

A "desktop" computer is a general purpose machine, used to perform basic everyday functions.

A $17,000 "desktop" is not a "desktop" but a machine built, bought and used for a highly specific purpose.

Unless I'm missing something here, which I could be. I could buy a $17,000 machine built to render video, but if I only used it to check email and surf the net without having shelled out the money for video rendering software specifically designed for that machine, I'd consider myself retarded.

What are we discussing again?
