9500 quad core 4 gigs ram 2 36 gig 10k rpm sata drives 750 and 500 gig sata for storage one of the ati hd video cards and 2 22' lcd's

Sounds like exactly what I've got, except for I'm only sporting one monitor. Haven't stepped up to two yet.

Just a dual core,4 gigs and 2 -20 inch screens

Both PC's share a Dell 24" ultrabright, and a pair of KRK Rokit 8 powered monitors. The speakers have RCA, XLR and TRS (1/4" balanced) inputs, so I can run both PC's to the speakers at the same time with no switching.

Nothing like 60lbs of speakers beside your monitor. :)

just recently bought a new HP computer:

nice...yea mine is a....
Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz

i got it overclocked to 2.6...2.7 roughly with 4 gigs of ram

Pretty close to mine: Q6600, with 2 WD 640's in RAID which all the benchmarks I was seeing showed these WD's faster than the old raptors. I love the radeon HD cards.

Hey what's the deal with those new 640gb drives from WD? Why the hype? Why 640?

Also has anyone upgraded from a decent dual core (my e6600 for example is 2.4ghz overclocked to 3.22ghz) to a quadcore? I wonder if there's much of a difference

Yea.. I a quad core 2.4 oc to like 3.0..

I stopped getting pimped out systems for my main computer when I realized I was just wasting money. I don't play video games and think people who do are wasting time. So now I just get what I need to run photoshop, dreamweaver, metapad, AOL, Live Writer, ICQ, IE, Firefox and AntiVirus/Firewall.

I almost shelled out $2500 for the system I have now... or would have had but then rethought and bought this one for $550.

I do everything from an $949 centrino dual core laptop I bought a year ago :)

Mac Pro Tower and a Macbook PRo 17". I will never use Windows again.

I hear ya hoss.

I still get a nice system for myself. It's a nice tax write off, plus I like being able to play and do everything from my main machine. I have 2 more PC's and a laptop that I use for various things.

But I like having a top of the line system every 18-24 months. Plus I need every write off I can get. Single dude. No kids. Not married.

Yeah... :disgust

It be fast n shit.

I paid far less than $1000 for my pimped out system. You just go on newegg & build the fucking things yourself. Fuck Dell & Compaq & Alien ware or whatever else people buy. :pimp

i got a delllio

I actually use, ibuypower.com.

While I am not much of a gamer any more, I DO like their pricing, site, service, custom builds and recommendations. I used to build my own. But now, I am frankly just too lazy. My job is making money.

joker...do you see significant improvements using xp 64bit?

Using it mainly because of the 8GB Ram and because I hate Vista :1orglaugh

Can't complain XP x64 is stable as can be for me. Very happy.

Under the desk I have a PC that I custom built with a Intel Quad core nice aluminum case and pretty high end hardware. I have dual 19 inch monitors hooked up to it.

On top of the desk I have a new 24 inch 2.8 iMac

I just rock a mac mini and a 21" lcd, i don't game or anything anymore, just write code, so it's plenty for me w/ the dual core processor and gig of ddr

Mac pro ..
Dual quad 2.8ghz
10gb ram
1x500gb
3x250gb
8800 gt card
2x30" Dell monitors

nothing special.

You know if Apple was smart, they would get into the game console market, but one up everyone. Set it up as a All in one TV computer unit mixing a Game Console, Mac Mini & Apple TV all into one unit and sell it for under $1k.
