^^ what the sexy polish guy said

I don't know man... 2400 seems like a awful lot to pay for a computer these days

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh after i start making good money :)

well dont forget, thats 2400 canadian dollars

its 2,074.42 USD

still high, but the computer comes with alot of great things...

if you have $2.4k to spend on the PC, you already have the money it seems

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

im going with the 2$/day plan :1orglaugh

but i plan to pay everything off in 2-3 months

Pretty overpriced

why are u getting your computer
i was supposed to get this today
http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/pro...01740 &catid=
but since im buying a winter car tomorow i figured i should way a bit

im getting it at MDG

btw dont buy a computer at futureshop, its all refurbished :\

lol i meant where

yeah i figured that one out lol

Good luck with that overpriced computer:)

what do you really need all that stuff for? besides so you can post about it?

Overpriced? Thats a pretty normal price considering it includes a 20" monitor.

Intel Core-2 Duo 2.13GHz E640/Processor

that should read e6400 btw.

dell has much better deals

Sorry all what stuff? Thats a pretty standard setup lmao WTF is wrong in this thread. :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

I was going to get one at MDG, but I plan on customizing mine more, and Microbytes has by far some of the best prices. They also configure computers and they have a huge selection. In March when I get back from my trip I'm going to build one from there. The only thing is, ebay has cheap prices for gfx cards, so I'll save 100 bucks or so buying it off there.

i'm still using the same pc i had since 2002, it does what i need just fine. added a bit of ram but thats it. when i buy a new one i won't be spending over 1k.

I don't know about standard...

Anyhow madawgz:

why not something like that?

You could upgrade the processor:
Intel® Core?2 Duo Processor E6600 (4MB L2 Cache,2.4GHz,1066 FSB)
2GB Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 667MHz - 2 DIMMs [add $140]
250GB Serial ATA 3Gb/s Hard Drive (7200RPM) w/DataBurst Cache? [add $90]

hell...

any of these and you will be under what you paid..
256MB ATI Radeon X1300 Pro [add $50]
Dell Recommended for an enhanced Windows Vista experience
256MB nVidia GeForce 7900 GS [add $200]
1GB NVIDIA GeForce 7950 GX2 Dual-GPU Graphics Card [add $650] (this is cutting it close though)

then added:
Dell WL6000 5.8GHz Wireless Rear 5.1 Speaker System with Subwoofer [add $150]

That's $1,259 (I didn't add the upgrade for the grfx card, and the one it comes with isn't bad at all anyhow) and also I added a better processor on then you got.

Coming from a guy who runs an independent computer shop, you're getting ripped off hard...and MDG is horrible.

interesting thread .... oh hum....

You could do that and have 1k left for the monitor :)

you're over paying man

Its only 2000.00 USD and he is getting a 20" monitor also. Plus its put together. Maddawg does it come with XP also, or bare?

Things that make a difference here would be

Brand of power supply and what its rated at.

Brand of ram and exact specs on it.

Specs on monitor also. response time etc.

Could I build the same thing much cheaper. Surely, but not everyone can do that. What all does the warranty cover? Do they have a 24 hour support line etc?

okay, this is my first post from the new computer, its awesome! :)

i will take some pics later on!

I bought one from MDG in the summer. MDG is the worst fucking company in the world for support. They fucked up my order initially, then when I went to pick it up it was built in the wrong case. Then a month later all the fans burnt out and fried my motherboard/chip/video card/memory. Then it took forever to get a new one from those cocksuckers. Now the monitor randomly shuts off after being on for a minute.

I will never buy another piece of shit from those assholes. I paid $2,800 for mine and had every updgrade I could get. The only thing that hasn't given me problems is the keyboard so far.

I ended up getting a couple free hard drives and a memory updgrade for free for each time the fucked with me. (I had to speak to the managers manager at head office to get them though as the first line customer service people have no authority to do that)

ANyhow, good luck with it!

you can build one yourself for half of that

you should've gotten a mac.

I just paid 3k for a dell workstation
It says it has 2 3.2 dual core processors but I dont really understand how that works and 4 gig ram.
I prolly got ripped off too lol

already have a mac :thumbsup

wheres the pics????

You spent to much on that PC

they will come tomorrow, i really need to get some sleep now

checkout eatmyshorts.com i put some new things :thumbsup

Dude, they raped you.

You can get those same specs for under a $1000.00 Shipped using this coupon.

Dell has 15% off accessories too... so if you WANT to spend around 2Gs you can get a 30" LCD and still remain under what you spent.

I'm taking delivery of this baby today. I won a bit of cash playing Battlefield 2 at pro level (yes I am a geeky eSports player and no I'm not saying for which team). Can't wait for Crysis, Quake Wars and Supreme Commander so I can put this behemoth to the test.

Cost: $2,431.00 ... are you ...

personally i would never buy a desktop.. laptop is the way always.. gives me more freedom..

it's crap.

the amount of time u spend online posting .. would have thought u'd have done some shopping and comparing b4 getting ripped like that.

Early Christmas present!

Cool man!!

I don't think that was a great deal... My advice, if you get a do over, go to 4GB of ram and go with 10,000 RPM drives.
