Yeah but you dont get to costomize it as much and its actualy not that good...

Besides he's building for a client so the more $$$ it is the more he makes XD.

sure it may be good for the price, but the $5000 one would be better. And if you have $5000 dollars to spend on a computer why wouldn't you?

Yea why not. Sh*t if it fits your budget go for it all. Also why would you spend 500$? when you can build a $5000 computer? More fun anyways.

If budget really is an issue, you can scale back the CPUs or the primary RAID battery but this box will do anything you need it to do from single user workstation (and all the roles there) all the way to heavy duty server. As for all the extra little crap, you're lucky i spec'd out the CRT and speakers ... i usually dont. Now if budget isnt an issue, you can easily expand the primary RAID battery to a serious 147GB based config (for a price delta of roughly $2000) and augment the secondary RAID battery for a price delta of roughly $1000. All in all, a decent start. And yes I did have to scale back the system near the end (starting with the secondary RAID battery) to not make a complete mockery of the budget

Hello!!!!!!! people it’s a waste of money you will not see a real differents in games at those ridicules system specs btw don’t forget pixel response time.
Why have 2x 512mb 7800gtx when you can do quad sly or sly 2 dual gpu cards" would that be better? why not go with 888mhz ram?

1. My box doesnt feature SLI but rather puts money into the underlying infrastructure which is less likely to become obsolete
2. 888MHz memory doesnt exist for system memory

It would seem you're in reference to a gaming machine, for which, AMD boxes are best suited ... which means
true.....I mean OCZ PC2-6400 RAM

would be incompatible.

It must be a cross between the best gamming machine and a server?
incompatible yes but you know what I mean go with faster speeds with low timings :)

Here is a sample system for $5000. I am not biased towards any particular parts in a machine, but this is just an example. Which for how much you are paying for it, it really isn't worth it to build a monster machine like this one. The differnce in performance isn't much past one that you could build for probably half of the price.


Asus P5WDG2-WS 975X P4/P4EE/Pentium D/Celeron 1066FSB $299.00
Intel Pentium EE 955 Presler 1066MHz FSB 2x2MB L2 Cache $1300.00
Corsair TWIN2X2048-6400PRO 2GB Kit DDR2-800 XMS2-6400 $360.00
Western Digital 1TB(500GB useable-250GBx4) raid 10 SATAII $464.00
connect3D Radeon X1900 CrossFire Edition $605.00
SAPPHIRE Radeon X1900XTX 100150 Video Card $616.00
SONY Black IDE CD Burner Model CRX230EE/B2 $26.00
SONY Black IDE DVD Burner Model DW-Q30A BK $45.00
SAMSUNG Black Internal Floppy Drive Model SFD321B/LBL1 $12.00
Thermaltake Tai-Chi VB5001SNA Black/ Silver Computer $445.00
PC Power & Cooling 850 SSI T85SSI 850W Power Supply $506.00
Microsoft Windows XP professional $130.00

Very true, you can get a X2 4800+ for less than half the price of that P4 EE, and it performs about the same or a little better (in games at least). Not to mention that you can spend under $150 on a good PSU, no need for a $500 one.

So as you said, this wont give you much more performance than something that costs half that.

Ill consider all of this. I'm not sure about the budget exactly at the moment but it is dfinitely >5000. It'll be for gaming and I'd prefer a LCD monitor by the way.

Agreed. Go for an AMD based system, the FX-60 will outperform the P4 EE 955 easily.
