So my boss had me order a new computer for the office today and I think that blood came out of my nose when I saw the specs on the final order. Check out these specs:

I had no idea that you could put 12GB of ram on a system! This thing is going to be amazing! WOW! At just under $3000 though, it had better be!! I have to admit though, any thoughts of work went completly out the window and dreams of lan parties and mass destruction gaming were more vivid than ever!!

Holy tits! :o

12 gig of RAM  :o

you could play a wicked game of unreal on that machine.

 ;D

what do you do for work that "requires" two 9600GTs?

for the price, i'm surprised those aren't quad-core xeons (server/workstation procs).

I know, this new system "may" have to pull double duty at some point....especially with an internet download speed of 69Mb/s!!

Game On!!!  [evil]

We actually purchased two of this particular system. One will be used with an employee who does 90% autocad work. The other system doesn't really "require" two graphics cards, but the money was allocated for the purchase, so my boss, who's a tech-aholic like me figured "when in Rome"....so that was it!  

25 in 1 card reader? jebus christo. they make that many different types of cards???

12GB of RAM is great until Windows figures out you have it and somehow allocates 11.5GB to 75 instances of xxxxxxxxx.dll like my work laptop did this morning  [laugh]

The free upgrade to windows 7 works for me! Vista ugggh.

The specs are just out of this world!  [thumbsup]

Actually, it is a quad core i7 950...and it runs 8 threads so to the OS it looks as though it is running 8 individual cores.

As a side note, I am typing this on a computer with a core i7 975(oced to 4.2ghz with HT), 24GB of RAM, 2x xFx GTX295s, 2x120GB OCZ Vertex SSDs in RAID 0(OS and apps), a pair of 300GB Velociraptors in RAID 0(storage backed up to a 1.5TB external) displaying on a 30inch Dell LCD. And I just browse the intrawebz!!!  ;D
I actually only have $3200 in this machine so far...

do you guys remember when the first one gig hard drive came out,
we got one at the office i worked in at the time and there was 4 or 5 of us nerds oooohhh and aaaahhhing. We have come a tremendous distance in a very short time.

meh.
it's fast...but this one gets more girls

WOW!

That computer made you type that really fast!




 ;D

And you have NO idea what it does for my e-peen! lol
Truth is, I built this computer way overboard because I want to dump every cent for the next 2 or 3 years into my track bike and photography.

sli 9600?  Thats it?????????
Nice specs besides but wont be quite the "tits" until that is upgraded
