              For what you got the price seems decent (since you didn't build it yourself). Now compare what you have to Alienware www.alienware.com and you'll feel better about how much you spent.

                      The price isn't too bad for what you got, but I wouldn't have gone with a Compaq.

                                  That's not bad Bone, especially with the X600 (still not up too much on the PCI-E cards)

                                  I think you got a decent deal.

                                          I had my card out.. I was gunna put $1000.00 into my sportsbook account , but said fuck it, and went to hp.com instead and bought a PC instead.

                                          I feel kinda proud of myself.


                                          I still have no idea how im gunna handle Vegas next week.

                                          I have a feeling Ill be buying a lot of shit to keep me from gambling.

                                          Ill take my camrea and pics of all the toys and crap I buy while im there.

                                          Should be intresting.

                                              Does that video card suck?? Is that the same as the graphics card?? I paid extra for that, got the most expensive one on the list..

                                              Is it bad?

                                                  I knew you paid too much the instant I saw Compaq...

                                                  I've had more trouble with them than any other computer I've had or tinkered with.

                                                          Yeah I bought one back in 2001 back when PC's were breaking that 1 Ghz barrier.. Paid 1500.00 for it, didnt like it and then gave it away..

                                                          For free I gave it away..

                                                          Gave it to dank.

                                                          15 months later he threw it in the river, becasue he thought the FBI was after em and his hard drive would be looked at.

                                                          LOL.


                                                          This one better not be like that one in 2001.

                                                          But My current home PC will still be around, and I bought a nice Fujitsu laptop 2 weeks ago for 2k that is unreal... I love it.

                                                          I just hope this new one is a beast.

                                                              it depends on what you are going to do with that PC


                                                              When you are going to use 3D studio Max and when you want to do some video editing then i would have taken a different card but it's a nice configuration


                                                              The 2Gb RAM is kinda useless because Win XP only uses 1Gb of it max

                                                                                      Its double or tripple the price of any other speaker system. Way more than the competition's 5.1 speaker systems.

                                                                                      But it seems its way more powerful.. 200 watt on the 2.1 alone.

                                                                                      Shit better be good.

                                                                                      Id rather have 3 powerful quality speakers than 6 or 7 or whatever the fuck those other speakers come with.

                                                                                      I dont want speakers all over my office. I want quality and power with fewer speakers and this is supposed to be the BEST.

If I'd have seen that I might have bought it as well. Your system will smoke for video work with the RAID 0.
