Buying new system or building one?

im not saying im for sure buying a dell but Im just looking at all my options here. I asked them why they dont have the 8800 and they told me its in testing stage right now and it should be ready in couple of months. That does suck though that they dont offer the 8800.
I went to the apple store and man I was close to buying there top of the line macpro with a 23 and 20 inch lcd's. I just couldnt do it though Im not sure why, guess I was scared I wouldnt like it and after dumping 5500 I would be extremely upset. Damn I dunno what I should do, maybe nothing and just keep what I have until something new comes out. Its not like my system is lacking right now.
 
drop 3 grand max, u get like a 30% performance increase for like 200% of the cash -.- seems stupid to me, u could just make like a new build every 6 months... which would def keep up with the times better
 
i still do not get at all why you need a new computer, but whatever. i mean 3k can be used for so much more but thats just me

i hope you like it, keep us posted
 
I dont NEED a new computer I want a new one :)
I know this is a computer forum but does anyone know about big screen LCD's?
 
go on Newegg and search, there are tons. what size do you want, and whats your budget? LCD TVs or PC screens?
 
damn I just ordered 2 LCD's from newegg, I didnt know they had TV's :(
Umm I was thinking 50-60" LCD, I heard 1080p is the way to go but Im sure there expensive and dont think I need something like that.

That one looks nice, I have no clue on what all the specs mean or what brand I should go with?? I always thought Sony was the way to go, but maybe thats not the case anymore.
 
i dont know that much either, just the 1080p, DLP is the way to go and Toshiba is an excellent name

you can even hook your PC up to it.
 
dude, djray, you better post some pics of ur pc when it's all ready cause i wanna see what 5k worth of hardware looks like...

somebody PLEASE tell me why those are so expensive there are plenty of other 15kRPM hdd's, why do those cost so much more?
 
I will take some pics as soon as it comes in. The guy at apple gave me free overnight shipping so I hope to see it by Tuesday :D.
The LCD's will be shipped monday hopefully and that should take 3-days.
I cant frickin wait guys, I have never spent this much on computer gear before but damn it feels good.

Here you go guys, please excuse the mess i have been working on a few different things :)
 
Does anyone want to buy my 20" Acer its only a couple hours old :)
The size difference doesnt look right and Im a anal kinda guy lol.
I guess I can return it for another 24" but thought I would offer it here first.
 
I have an Acer and was looking to get another...I was wanting one to match mine, which has black edges. You would be better off to send it back to NewEgg . But what the heck.....Would you take $150 shipped? I wouldn't if I were you but I figured I'd try! :)
