How the heck did that cost $2000 to build? My PC, which has a worse motherboard, better CPU, better graphics card, same RAM, same burner and 2x 160gig HDD cost me $950...and i could build the same thing now for $850. Mind you i already had the keyboard/mouse/monitor/speakers, but they aren't worth the extra $1000. It's amazing how much difference 7 months can make. Hopefully this means 8800 geforce videocards will come down in price quickly. I'm keen to get a 6400+ AMD X2 too

Nice setup, bad price you paid, I think you'll be lucky to pickup just over $500 for this...

I think with the monitor and everything else he's got with it he'd get the $1000. Its still a better price than you'd get a Harvey Norman or someone. Plus it is fully SLI ready, which is a good thing.

the ram alone is $400 worth, the motherboard is $299, the processor which people still want you cant buy any more, its ideal for gaming.

I actually thought this was an ultimate gaming system. This is just above average. And that price is just... bad :|

it's not really that great. I have a 512mb graphics card, dual core 2.2ghz and more (not gonna list all my specs)

and I got it for 1260 2days ago WITH a 19" Widescreen TFT LCD monitor and awesome speakers...

anyway, my point is, that's not really the "Ultimate Gaming System"

Asus EN7800GTX Video Card (256MB)? I would certainly not call the graphics card "Ultimate Gaming System"

The LCD alone is not worth much, considering you would be finding it hard to purchase that size. 19" ones go for just over $200 now.

I could've gotten that system for around $900 bucks in the comp shop across the road of my tafe

and if i put an extra $100 i couldve gotten a 20 inch LCD monitor Ben Q Plus they wouldve thrown Win XP for free

I'd still get a dvd player though.... inless ur willing to have ur PC hooked up to ur tv 24/7.... I'd hate to go through the disconnecting and reconnecting everytime i wanna use my computer for normal use.... Unless its a laptop... then thats pretty easy.

U can get a cheap dvd player for under $50 bucks or less these days that can play ever region, dvix, avi files and original and burned dvds so like i said i'd still buy a dvd player for my living room
