Waste of money.
it seems waste of money but i like it. something is attractive.
overkill...24gig of ram? for what? running your OS off of it? Don't get me wrong, I'd love to have your comp anytime, any day, but for what you paid, I can pay off a year an a half of my car payment! a 260 gtx? Since you were paying 4.6k, might as well add the 480gtx or HD 5970 or something. Great comp nevertheless.
I need the specs for painting actually. My works needs me to paint on really large canvases like 9000 x 6000 px approx and at like 720 dpi ...Even 12 Gigs of RAM will make Photoshop lag .. so I do need kick ass specs for a smooth performance...
It's not overpriced really when you feel it's worth it .. and even if it is ... fuck it .. I still love the damn thing. :D
you know in 2 years time it will be only worth 70% of that lol.
Yup and probably in 2 years, even much better shit will come out but one can't keep delaying buying something just coz something newer and cheaper will come out. That happens all the time. :D
Nice sheets bro
@insane
How much was it?
That's insane, well is it running good for you? no slowing or overheating?
Na. Not problem at all. Performing way more than what I expected it to. It comes with a heat cooling sink so no over heating issues either and haven't noticed any signs of slowing down atleast till now.
I ran Photoshop today ... a huge as image which generally takes about 15 secs to render on my bro's PC which is pretty high end and has no lag at all on this one. Totally lovin it. As far as I'm concerned, it's worth the money.
any plans playing games on the beast rig? :)
Yeh. Am downloading a hell lot of em. Crysiz for a start. The internet says with these specs I can run two at full specs and alt tab between them in a second. Hopefully they're right. Temme if you got any other games you might want me to try out.
buy the parts separately and build the thing yourself; wayyyyy cheaper.
pirate windows 7.
You won't be able to max Crysis with a sli 260gtx. Maybe get some decent bench but not max.
For half that price you can get the same thing + better graphics cards. And a better monitor (21,5'' TN monitor for PS work? come on...). And a better case. And probably better cooling. And that CPU can usually OC higher... You paid for the brand. Alienware offers expensive PCs, that's all. It's for people who want "the most expensive", not "the best".
You mentioned Crysis - you won't play it comfortably in 1080p+max settings+aa x4. You could for half that price.
Congrats! Thats a fine system! What I cant understand is how the hell you are using a gay 21" screen with that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Do you have any money left over? :S
