Highest end??? Check this out.
Nothing particularly spectacular there (other than poor product selection and high prices) (not to mention taking the Exos2 and downsizing it to a 1/4" setup)

you know how much of that is utterly useless garbage? It's got an 850 SERVER power supply. 3 400Gb HDD?? whos gonna use 1.2Tb HDD space?
1. Server PSU generally means good PSU. If you have a problrm with good PSU ....
2. 1.2TB? Thats about a week's worth of video footage for me.

EDIT: Actually, I would say AnthraX's estimation was a little off. I mean, highest HIGHEST end SLI would be more like, $2000-$2500.
Assuming of course you pay something like Neweggs prices or something ... which arent exactly what i'd call good

Yeahm with dual 700 GTXs and dual Opterons and Dual Dual channel 4 gigs of extreme low latency and 2 tb of HDD space. GPUs watercooled and each opteron has it's own Phaze cooling for -50°C temps and high overclocking. Now that's a high end rig. Price? Probably over the 10K bar.
It's funny when the vocabularly exceeds what's backing it up.

So what would you refer to as better than newegg?
Not challenging it or anything, I really wanna know. I thought they had best prices, and Im about to build another system, could use it.

1. Canadian prices. (not too bad for you, just across the boarder)
2.. On a more serious note, computer show prices. The only downside is that they dont happen all the time and you need to have your wits about you
