That must be included if u want performance..

Indeed :lol:. It is the ultimate for desktop crunching, although some might say it was a bit overkill. Still, it fits in the provided requirements ;).

BTW dont get Dell they monopolize the parts. So if something breaks you have to get them from DEll and they mark up the price 3 times. Plus They have horrible customer service.

Partly true, but not if you bought a workstation from them. It comes with professional care since it's supposed to be used in like mission critical data analysis etc. (like 5th/Top Gear!!!). As for the parts, if you mean that they are proprietary, that would be for their OEM level like value systems. The workstations are all regular full size boards with thumbscrews etc for easy expansion.

I just hate dealing with Dell i have one and I will never get one again. I hate the company. They dont care about the customers enough. Im just telling you about my experiences and others i have read about.

Yeah for sure, I know where you're coming from. Especially after the whole outsourcing to India for tech support (although thankfully not for their premium customers). Remarkably my brother's had pretty good luck with them--his drive broke and a new one arrived the next day for his laptop. However, apparently they're bringing customer service back to America after all the complaints haha.

Jabba dont you want to build your own system? Thats what I would do. You can build an overkill system for much less money compared to alienware etc...

Ya defiantly building your own is sweet. I agree. Im glad they are moving tech support back to america. Thats one step forward. Well maybe your setup is a good idea afterall.

www.alienware.com have some pretty nice already built computers, they are expensive though but if you want to build your own, you can create a copy of it or go to www.anandtech.com and/or tomshardware and/or www.cnet.com to see the top lcd's etc...

wish I had more time, but I really have to sleep (stayed up all night typing essay). Last time I did this, i slept 18hours, lesse if I can beat that.

Vapochill cases are way overkill...

Yes thats exactly correct.... self build machines have always run allot better for me than name PC's and I think building it yourself is half the fun...especially cutting your hands to pieces and blood pouring out everywhere as your working inside the case.....still at least you really get to know your machine this way.... :D 8) 8) 8)

Cool. I'll be making a list of sweet parts this friday. :)

Does it have to be a PC or would you be willing to use a Apple?

Nope I am a PC man sorry....Apple isnt very big here in the UK either.

My experience with dell isn't that good either... their p4's always feel so sluggish. The fans are relatively quiet though.
