It's not a beautiful boa (but it comes close)....



I'm getting this guy in a few weeks, and he will glow green, not red.

YES. It is a gaming PC. But I am NOT getting it for that. As most of you know, I create flash websites, media, and animation, as well as run the entire Adobe Creative Suite on my computer.

2 Gigs of RAM just doesn't cut it anymore. PLUS, my Fiance works with 3D studio max, and his HP can't handle the rendering.

So there ya go. Perfect solution.

Here's what this puppy's got:

Intel Quad Core 2.66 GHZ Processor (wish it was more...but it ain't horrible)

Windows Vista 64 bit Home Edition (hopefully the bugs aren't that bad this time around...)

4 GB (2x2GB) ram installed (have 4 more to install here on my desk), with a total of 8 GIGS OF RAM. Hallelujah!

500 GB Harddrive (I also will be getting a large external harddrive)

Dual 512 Radeon video cards

550 Watt Power supply (for dual vid. cards)

Liquid Cooling. Soooo awesome. Intel approved, too!

Blu-Ray burner/reader (also DVD/CD Burner/reader). I don't do blu-ray, but why not...you never know!

Halo 2 (came with it for free...sweeeeet)

LCD computer Temp. Monitor. Heh...with liquid cooling I dont think I have much to worry about.

20 inch LCD monitor. GOODBYE dinky 13 inch!

A new Wacom tablet. My 12 year old needs to retire already.

And OMG I can't wait. I've had my current PC for about 3 years, and I guess I've just outgrown it. It runs GREAT, but it's just so small now...not enough space, or ram. I will miss it, but it will be given to my little brothers, so they will get good use out of it, I'm sure.

I'm excited.

When I get the actual computer in, Folgers will be posing on the glowing green symphony of power that is a PC. That will be an awesome, sexy photo.

Very nice specs, that thing will be great, although the color glow is really like a $10 light, if even that much

[_Sam_]

oh wow..... holy crap that's a nice PC!

[jbt123]

Yeah, it was only 10 bucks to add the glowing lights. But it's still pretty awesome. I can't wait! Even though I dont play PC games...I have a strong feeling that Halo2 might get me hooked..

[stu]

Can I borrow it to play some games then???

I just got a new HP DV9700t earlier this year and it does a really good job at it....but that thing is like 89324824249823489429 times faster.

If you don't mind me asking, where'd ya order it from and how much did it set ya back?

Nice! I got an Alien way back before HP bought them out, and it was the best PC I ever had. I've since been seduced by the Mac, but I can still appreciate a nice PC once in a while.

I know it's a little late to reply, but I got this computer from ibuypower.com.

I had it sent to my mom's house because I will be there for 3 weeks next weekend, anyways. But apparently it is running great, and my mom knows computers pretty well. I will definately update and get pics of the actual machine.

It was around 1700 shipped, give or take. NOT BAD for a computer that has 4 processors at that speed, and 8 GB ram capacity. I'm so excited.

I don't really even play video games on the PC, but my Fiance does. When I told him that it was coming with Halo 2 for free, I could have sworn a tear ran down his cheek. LOL

my husband loves gaming, better hide that thing lol
