[NeoNight]

I have a mission for you tech savvy folks out there. Your mission is to build a computer using this site www.newegg.com. It must include everything (including flat screen monitor, speakers, sound card, mouse keyboard, lan card everything) your budget is $3500+ (though not over $4000).

the specs should be something better then this:

Intel Pentium 4 Processor 550 with HT Technology
(3.40GHz, 1MB L2 Cache, 800MHz FSB)
Microsoft Windows XP Professional Edition
1GB Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM
500GB SATA RAID O (Data Striping)
19" Dell Ultra Sharp Digital Flat Panel Display (1905FP)
256MB PCI Express x16
NVIDIA GeForce 6800
16x DVD-ROM Drive; 16x CD/DVD Burner (DVD+/-RW*)
Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS (D)Sound Card
Dell 5650 Surround Sound 5.1 Speaker System with Subwoofer
3-Year Limited Warranty* with XPS Telephone Support; 3-Year At-Home Service Price: $3699


and yes someone is actually going to buy it....

dont get a foking p4

get an athlon 64 bit winchester core they are miles better

p4's IPC = 6 Athlon 64's IPC = 12

IPC Means instructions per clock cycle, you do the math.........

 

[Hazar]

I hate you.....

you can pretty much get top of the line everything with that kind of money

yeah I was thinking about having them get an athlon 64 fx but am to lazy to change all of that and I was trying to match the specs they told me. :farmer:

Hey whatever you guys think is better let me know, my cuz is saving up money for all of this so I have time to get better parts

 

[jimbo118]

don't hate me hate my rich cousins lol (and don't worry I hate them too

lol

 

[Vorac1ous]

Dude, you can really afford to buy all of the best anything. Why do we need to help you pick out the best of the best? Seems kind of silly IMO.

 

[Shamrock]

I would recommend one of these drives.

74 GB 10000 $179:
http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=22-144-160&depa=1

146 GB 10000 RPM $596:
http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=22-148-044&depa=1

 

[PvtRyan]

I recommend this. The videocard isn't too good though.

 

[Cole]

don't hate me hate my rich cousins lol (and don't worry I hate them too

No love them and praise them...and then someday...when your good friends and its near your birthday you should ask for a $3,000 computer!

It's the perfect plan!!

 

[Sam2k]

I recommend this. The videocard isn't too good though.

which is 28.4 percent more, or 2.35 times as much

Huh...?

 

[PvtRyan]

Huh...?

49.39% / (49.39% - 28.4%) ^^

 

[giant384]

im clueless about the above post but u can practactilly get any top of the line part with 3500

 

[Top Secret]

Ok, I'm going to shoot my own ways of life in the foot by saying this, but when you get past a certain ammount of "richness" you might aswell just buy a custom made ****ing computer. http://www.falcon-nw.com/

 

[Muhahahaha]

Shoot, I just got finished building "the best" (for an intel rig, anyways, see sig below) with only $1100. Of course, I didn't buy any new drives or a monitor. Not to mention I don't have a sound card since I don't want one... but dang. You can easily build it with that. I'm having troubles of my own right now, sorry I can't be of any help.

yeah am thinking about having them do that lol because I just thought about it. If I where to order their pieces they are gonna expect either me or my other cousin (whos the essence of lazy) to put it together. I sure as heck am not gonna bother to put all that stuff together. (they don't live anywhere near me btw)

49.39% / (49.39% - 28.4%) ^^

I should really read stuff properly -_-.

 

[Darkknighttt]

wow, your rich. anyways get an athlon 64 fx-53. and why the hell do you need a 500GB HD?!?! like seriously. oh and get a 6800 ultra, it's much better than the already awesome 6800, but since you have the money......why not!!!!!

 

[E-2k5]

lol, curse you rich family boy!... anyways get that fx and make sure u buy corsair... 3 GB ^^ oh and i would recommend Radeon X850XT best vid card in it's brand... but... since u HAVE THE MONEY, you could buy GeForce 6800 ULtra SLI (2 GeForce 6800 Ultra) and make sure u buy asus or abit mobo with SLI support :stare:
PS= wouldn't be bad to cooperate with some money in my paypal!... joking :cheers:

 

[Darkknighttt]

send me $2735.55, via check, and ill send u 2 geforce 6800's in sli mode with mobo. that's how much its worth im serious.

 

[E-2k5]
