as yoou can see its a beast of a system.. can some1 add it up for me???
oh and what am i missing.. if anything?
Toni 65 posts14 Oct 2005mmkay nice, you could've just given us the summary
Kieran 57 posts16 Oct 2005Seems a bit wasteful to me that's getting near $4000 (USD). For that I'd much rather spend half on a high/middle range PC now and get another one in 2 years rather than blow all you money on something that will give you little more than bragging rights ....for about a month and a half. But that's just me, if that's what you want go for it just know the new/powerful novelty wears off and the effect on your bankbook is a bit sobering.
