it's the Best and it's out of this world, but the problem is it seems people treat personal computers like gaming consoles now. and it doesn't make anysense if you have the money to throw away £5162 pounds then get this crazy machine blows any games away but what made me think was why did i spend £5162 pounds to play a simple game ? i kinda got confused with myslef LOL
 
:eek: and it still neds another grand spending for a nice 30" screen to do the gfx justice.

Thats bleeding edge pc's for you!
 
Subtotal £4,477.94 (£3,893.86 ex VAT) with CM HAF 932 case shown in case selection as default

so about £600+ for building?

I figured as much, that's a hell of a markup (especially considering that the parts are already marked up!)

Not really a complaint - I wouldn't be buying a pre-built system anyway - but it's interesting to note.

Surely the price to put the thing together should be approximately the same with any system? Maybe a little more with top-end systems because of the extra thought you'd expect to be put into cable management etc.
 
If anyone was going to spend that, then surely they'd want a more high end case. pretty tidy little profit they'd make on that if someone did buy one though.

The system seems a bit overkill for anything out at this time though and you would surely want a decent case to match a system of that spec as well. Long story short though, can it play crysis on very high? :L

Check out the RAM options on a Mac Pro:

4GB (4x1GB) [+ £313.00]
8GB (4x2GB) [+ £940.00]
16GB (4x4GB) [+ £2,662.00]
16GB (8x2GB) [+ £2,173.01]
32GB (8x4GB) [+ £5,637.00]

And that's DDR2 RAM. :)

I only managed $25k on the Mac pro, the extra software could probably have taken me to 26k, but where did you get the other 6k from?
 
my spec a mac pro only came to £17,279.24 it must be rubbish :(

getting back to the pre-built system above, total waste of money, you either have tonnes of cash and no brain or have no life and think buying (or getting a loan to buy) a total beast of a system will make you king of the dweebs for a short while.

Or you design rockets for nasa or something.

Gotta keep that kit cool as well. I cant say I like the newer Antec cases. Got a 900 and love it, and the 300 looked smart, but the 900 2 and the 1200 never did it for me.
