here we go, over $25,000.

http://www.alienware.com/ShoppingCar...ppingCart.aspx

Click on the name to see the specs. Keep in mind I only got 3 games and the programs that I would want, not every game and program on the planet.

Quick overview:

Althon 64 FX-55 with hypertransport
2 gig RAM
well over a terabyte of hard disk space
1 gig of video memory
2 30" LCD monitors.

We can't see what you picked because we can't see you shopping cart.
