Great. That'll be great for playing FFXI.

[Kai]

Heh heh yeah . Took me all summer working in a factory to pay for it so it better be LOL.

[Mdude]

How much did you pay for it?

$2300+ Cdn.

[Mdude]

Ouch.

i think it's a bit overpriced.

i will never buy a whole computer again after the comp i have. it cost 3500 (was top of the line a year ago, 2.53p4, 800mh rd ram, 80 gig hdd, 16x dvd, 4x4x16 dvd writer[$400], santa cruz 5.1 card, better speakers, 17" dellsharp monitor[owns].)
on top of the high price, i only get a 5100 on bench (the ti 4200 slows it down, but it is a year old comp), and i have bad cooling for it, so i can't overclock if i wanted to.

just in case you think that was a rip off, it was from last year, and i have 512mb 800mh rd ram that costs $300 bucks for two 256sticks. the processor + motherboard at that time cost $500, and the monitor itself was about $700. not to mention that the ti 4200 cost 250 too. i had office 2002 pro, win xp home+ !Plus!

if you don't have the programs, it's a rip off.

[Mr_Cloud]

wow

Wow. :sweat: 3500

[Kai]

You guys realize I said that price was in Canadian dollars right?

Ahaha thanks .

[Doppelganger]

canadian.... say that next time. it's not too bad at that price, unless it's used. if it is, it may have burned out a long time ago (unless they took good care of the comp and didn't overclock like crazy without proper cooling).

nice buy, i hope to beat it with my next comp. think that a 3gh amd 64bit processor+pc4000 ram+the new ati graphics card+water cooling+nice audio card+5.1 speakers will cost less than 1500 us dollars by next year (11 months 5 days actually)?

[Kai]

I did say Canadian (Cdn). The computer is all new. Umm all that for less than $1500 USD I dunno about that, computers do you seem to get cheaper every day tho so who knows... heh.

[sagitta85]

Building a computer is a lot cheaper than buying a pre-made one from a company.

[Kai]

Well... I'm too lazy and don't have the technical expertise as of YET.
