yeah that is the down side to macs. so pricy!

 

before they can justify because they had their own cpu, motherboard etc.
now alot of component is share with PC and you really see the price difference.

 

well yeah but in my eyes someone can buy a supercar or make a kit car for the fraction of the price. the kit car maybe able to out preform the supercar, but it is still just a kit car. that is just the way i see it.

 

SLI pretty much means 1kW or else.

Dells aren't terrible, but their tech support is.. Plus you can do a lot better pricewise on your own. I have a DELL XPS Gen4 that I gave my folks not too long ago.

 

the 1TB hdd was a $300 option. it's only 7200rpm sata. (Not even e-sata.) they go for $99 on newegg
ATI 4870 512mb was +400 OVER the standard video card they give you.
+4GB Ram was another +400....$100/for 1gb? Ok now that is just a rip off. I just bought 4gb ram for under $50 bucks.

 

take it to the geek thread!

 

but u didnt have some underpaid overworked person do the incredibly hard task of installing that new ram for u thats lol

 

+1 to that

 

thats why you are here staff member
