$15,000 computer...LMAO

what a waste of 15 grand!! I'd rather buy a new car--or take a chunk outta my mortgage, or invest!

15,000 on a computer which will be old tech in 6 months...obviously still good, but really!!

Wait, so he's kidding?

If not, do you want nVidia or ATi? Because if you want nVidia, you could wait for the 300 series and then get a four way SLI with those, or if you don't want to wait you could get a 4x5870 setup.

however why not just build a $3000-$4000 computer and then invest the rest in shares or something like that, and then if things work out the right way with the shares earning you lots of money, you could take like 3k out of the shares every two years for a new computer. Plus you get dividends and stuff, so trust me, get some help and invest in some safe shares, do it while the economy is down so you can get more shares for cheaper! (not sure how it is in the US but in Australia things are picking up)

so thats just my opinion but anyway.

hope this helped

Yeah, that was me. Add another $200 for 2 5970s @ $670 each and $1500 for that SWEET keyboard, and you're close to $16,000.

Seriously though, that keyboard is awesome. I just hope in a couple years technology makes it affordable.

dirtbikeryzz · Dec 15, 2009

Guy's I'm pretty sure this was a joke... Even if you had a 15k budget you would only need to spend around 3,500 and you would have the best pc you can get aside from random junk.

Yeah, why isn't he replying?

It's a CEB mobo. That's a great mobo, but funny form factor.
