What's the best desktop computer money can buy?
 

Is the Alianware Aurora ALX at about $17,000 the best PC on the market or is there another one that can beat it?

The question is - why?

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

The short answer is YES.

how?????

yeah, how?! :1orglaugh

By the way at their website a completely maxed outed version is less than half that $17K.

you gonna spend $17k on a pc ?

I got it to 16K.

Someone posted a system that was totaly solid state with quad procs.

I cant find the link though - I need a search engine just for my bookmarks these days :)

that is insane for a pc

For one, PERCEPTION. People perceive people with expensive objects as successful and want to do business with successful people....

I'd wait for the new powermac :2 cents:

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

you are insecure and have little dick syndrome

You forgot to add the $500+ S&H fee:winkwink:

Tho I don't know why they would charge for shipping since it belongs to Dell and Dell doesn't charge for shipping!

tell my dell rep they don't charge shipping...

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

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

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

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. :thumbsup

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

What a waste of money....

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

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...

What an amusing little thread. :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

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

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.

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?

don't trust them thou.

What would you be doing that would require cutting-edge consumer technology?

I,ve ordered a few things from Dell and there were no S&H fee!

I paid 5400 for my laptop for submitting galleries :P

is that really alot of money? I am pissed I got ripped thou, going to order the new mac shortly.

I don't know much about laptops, but I'm told their desktops are solid.

my neighbour has a desktop and not happy with it, not sure his reasons thou.

The same things I'm doing right now on my computers except I'll probably need only one to get the job done:winkwink:

What model he has?

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

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

Your right about not trusting them. L is the biggest fraud "computer company" there is. Their spec on the computers are all bs...

And what decent system do u propose?

Could you be a little more vague?

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

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

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?

wait.. wait...WAIT!!
Alex.. you got money????

hehehe joke.. just feel like busting your balls :thumbsup :1orglaugh :thumbsup
