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?
