15.4" on 1440*900 on a Quadro NVS135m OCd to its max. plays pretty well, but not really heavy games.

Once you've had 2560x1600 it's simply horrible going back to anything smaller.
@ Aastii, I don't mean any disrespect, but you're obviously not an enthusiast. However, as a moderator on a computer forum, I would expect you to have some degree of tolerance towards those that are.
My point was that you can sit their and say you have spent more money on your system than a small car is worth, but it won't do anything mine can't, even with it costing far less
it won't do anything mine can't
Well that's completely wrong, but anyway.
It's like saying people who buy exotic cars are stupid, because a cheap car would also get them from A-B. True, but it's not exactly the same is it?
I agree with Aastii to a point. You just down graded his statement to fit your view. He has far from what you would call a cheap car. Say I buy a Corvette and someone buys a Ferrari. Sure the Ferrari out performs the Corvette, but for the 250,000 price difference you get ripped off not matter how you try to equal it out. Doesnt matter if you have the money
to buy it or not. You paid 250,000 more then he did for 40 more MPH and a little better cornering. So the price difference doesnt equal out, even if you have the extra money to buy it. Its nothing but look at me syndrome.
He has made some pretty absurd claims aswell.
You can't compare a Ferrari to a Corvette. It's not just about the way a car performs, it's all to the way driving a Ferrari makes you feel and the way it drives.
Your argument is based on people buying only things that they need rather than things they desire. If Aasti neither needs nor desires a faster computer, or a bigger monitor then good for him. But, inevitably there will always be hobbyists/enthusiasts that are happy to pay the price premiums for top end equipment, regardless of whether or not they actually need it. I just don't understand what he intended to achieve by posting in this thread the way he did.

There is always going to be someone in the world with more disposable income than you and therefore, the way they value money will be different to that of your own.
It's just people living by their own means.
EDIT: Also, nowhere at all had I mentioned money until now.
lol, really?

So with the computer doing everything that a "lesser" system would, at just the same rate, makes you feel better because you can look at the computer and know that it cost more and consumes more power?
