500gig sataII-didnt know they had those
sweet build if any1 could afford it but i would rather have an amd dual core

I second ripken.

It's a shame for that amount of money, your mobo should crack the 1.6 ghz front side bus. That's gonna kill ya. I smell bottleneck.

Although your GUI is gonna be smooth, not that that has anything to do with productivity.

acrobat reader? (that's a free download)

the video card and the raid are the only impressive components on this list. I'm not bashing you, just Dell's blowup tactics.

* I just re-read, and am glad you're not spending that kind of money for that POS.

Which is why you are paying for the "service" of having the computer built for you.

These are awsome speakerss....

I customized a Dell too! So, I went ahead and bought it.

I have never owned a Dell in the past, so my expectations are a little high, considering I've had a Packard Bell & HP.

NyRoN · 07-09-2005, 04:37 AM

500w towards computer speakers...now thats gonna be cool...whats the size of the sub though???
10" or 12"???

NyRoN · 07-09-2005, 04:46 AM
