That's pretty awesome. Probably better than the desktop I built (granted, I built a budget desktop, but still). Of course, my desktop only cost about $500.Naaah... I could probably do better. Buuut? I'd rather not, because not pushing my computer to it's limits means it'll be ready for whatever I need it for.
In other news, I bought a new laptop! It's pretty sexy, if I do say so myself~

I believe I do push my computer to it's limits, but that's not very hard, considering it's just a netbook. In other news, I calculated what the cost of my dream computer, a fully tricked out Mac Pro, would cost:
Grand total: $15,094.95
Guessing I won't be buying this for a while.

Also, if you're buying an unbranded PC instead of buying that computer from Apple, I think you might end up getting a sizable discount on everything.
That system you posted is truly the machine that just works within the entire decade, and further beyond! On the other hand, you could buy a whopping 10 really capable gaming PCs with that budget. :)
Let's see what I would buy...
*ditches Xeon for Core i7/5*
*Cuts RAM to 8GB*
*Skips the RAID card*
*Stops at one hard disk*
*Gets the newest single-card, single-GPU card*
*Gets only one DVD Super Multi drive*
*Skips the other monitor and opts for a Samsung*
*Goes Logitech on keyboard and mouse*
*Skips the PCI Express card*
*Skips the DisplayPort adapter*
*Keeps the AIO printer*
*Replaces OS X with Windows 7*
I wonder how many thousands did I just save by doing exactly that?

Well of course, but what's the point of having a Computer like that if it's not from Apple? ;)
There's your answer.
I really want a MacBook Pro at this point.
However, one of the first things I'm going to do with a MacBook Pro is to...
Obliterate the OS X install and stuff Windows 7 for some reason.

Hey guys, I just have a quick question, do any of you know any good programs that download videos off of YouTube and convert them to iPod format? I've been using one, but I had to reboot my computer and just found out they only have the upgraded version, which you have to pay to use. :/
Thanks!
Thanks!
And just a quick question, for some reason each time I try downloading it, it downloads Microsoft NET, should I let it download, or is it something bad?
