It’s amazing how outdated my computer is.

Ya, he's pretty good. I've read some of his stuff and found it intresting and worthy of devouring.

it's cost me around 2300. I bought all the parts at KrazyKrazy and built it myself with Chris, one of their techs at the store

Hehe I know Chris. He really knows his computer stuff. Reminds me of red squirrel knowledge wise, without the thought of building a tesla coil

And stuff is like quadruple the price here, specially considering he bought it in town. To give you an idea, a regular 80mm fan costs about $30 here, last time I checked. (I can get em for $5 off my supplier). It's actually cheaper to buy a pc then to build it now. My test server costed like 400 bucks off tigerdirect minus the added hardware such as bigger hdd and more ram. Building it would of costed about 1k.

It would of cost me more if i went through tiger, I did my research. I have the best warranty. They'll replace everything even if i put my ram chip in backwards (happed to a friend of mine. don't ask me how he managed it cuz because i can't)

Well, Intel nowadays is starting to edge AMD with their Conroe and Core Duo processors.

My main issue with that machine is the video card: it's very weak. I'd rather build a computer around the same price with a slower (cheaper) AMD processor and a faster video card (and if you don't overclock, you can dump the expensive water cooling too). But if you are in a situation where CPU power is more critical than video, that's a pretty nice deal.

Would make a nice ESX server.

Would just need more ram.
