Alright, a friend of mine wanted me to help him find a computer. He is looking to get the best one he can buy and just narrowed it down to these two. Performance is key, but he loves how he can customize the case with the Falcon.
On one side we have the Falcon NW Mach V that would look like this:
On the other is HP's new BlackBird 002 Dedication Edition which would look like this:
PROCESSOR
Intel® Core2™ Extreme Quad-Core 3.0GHz [QX6850] performance enhanced
MEMORY
2GB 800 MHz CORSAIR PC2-6400 DDR2 SDRAM
GRAPHICS
Dual NVIDIA® GeForce® 8800 Ultra with NVIDIA® SLI, with 768MB of GDDR3 SDRAM supports Dual-Link DVI
THERMALS
Liquid Cooling for Processor and Dual Graphics Cards
POWER SUPPLY
1.1 KW
STORAGE
One 160GB 10,000 rpm SATA (Western Digital Raptor)
500GB 7200 rpm SATA
OPTICAL DRIVE
Dual Super multi-drive, slim slots with Lightscribe
(DVD+/-R/RW+/-DL)
AUDIO
ADI onboard audio
Operating System
Microsoft® Windows Vista™ Ultimate - Free Upgrade
MOUSE
Voodoo Razer Gaming Mouse
KEYBOARD
Voodoo Razer Gaming Keyboard

I think he should go with the Falcon because performance wise it looks like a better computer, however i dont know if what he has now (the specs at the top) would be a good setup. I dont know much about raid so idk if the raid that is selected now would be the best (does it make a difference?)
Thank you for the help. (poll coming)
