Now...to sell a kidney to pay for it...

[LA_MERC_MadMAX]

I'd rather have the Athlon X2 than the FX-64...but that's just me.

[LA_MERC_LaTech]

That wasn't an option...I would also rather that...

[LA_MERC_Diesel]

Yeah I am getting the 4800 x2 over the fx I thought long and hard but I like the x2 capabilities more

[Biggs]

how is that worth 15k? i mean gessh. wont it be out dated in lile 2 years after u buy it?

[LA_MERC_YellowDog]

True.... But its all about saying you got the fastest thing on the market,
and that you can acualy justify spending 15 Grand on a gaming machine...

I think im going to skip building that garage out back and build me one of these things. :)

[LA_MERC_eX1|eS' ch1|d]

Well it also has 2 Terabytes of storage space and the monitor is probably between $1500 to $2000. Plus there is some apps included that you have to pay for, OS and Anti-virus. 7.1 surround speakers and the PC Power and Cooling power supply is most likely $400.

[LA_MERC_LaTech]

Yeah, it's quad 24" monitors...that adds a small chunk of change.

[Biggs]

quad...as in 4? just a ?, but why would someone want 4 screens?

[LA_MERC_th33_r00k]

let me break out the credit cards.

[LA_MERC_M@lACHi]

Or the 3rd mortgage!

[LA_MERC_eX1|eS' ch1|d]

Oh...I thought the Quad Displays meant the display would split into four smaller screens. Heck, four 24" monitors are half the 15k right there!

[LA_MERC_YellowDog]

Good God could you imagin sitting in front of 4 24in monitors... MOTION SICKNESS HERE I COME!!!

[LA_MERC_LaTech]

I know! I was thinking you could set them up in a line and do flight sims (like in BF2...you could see in front, behind and both sides!)...if only...

[the noxious]

yeah, kidney or 15k computer? kidney.....or15k computer........
yes tech, that is a hard question.
if the computer had holographic capabilities with a sub-etha sens-o-matic included, i'd take it.

[LA_MERC_MadMAX]

Check out this baby (Max is slobbering on his keyboard :) )
