Mpilk901 Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Husky I got bored and made this on the Dell website with that XPS builder. Specs: Intel® Core™ i7-920 (2.66GHz, 8MB cache) Genuine Windows Vista® 64-bit Home Premium (English) Service Pack 1 Aluminum with Clearcoat Chassis 6GB Tri-Channel DDR3 at 1066MHZ (3x2GB DIMM) SLi, Dual nVidia GeForce GTX280 1024MB 1.5TB Performance RAID 0 (2 x 750GB SATA-II, 7200 RPM HDDs) Dual Drives: Blu-ray Disc (BD) Burner (Writes to DVD/CD/BD) and DVD-ROM Dell Ultrasharp 3007WFP-HC 30-inch Widescreen Flat Panel LCD Monitor Dell High Color 30 inch UltraSharp Widescreen Digital Flat Panel 3Yr Ltd. Warranty- Advance Exchange Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium Logitech Z-5500 Speaker System All of that cost $5,058 and you could make it even cheaper if you wanted to by getting a smaller monitor, only one Blu-Ray drive etc. That leaves you with $950 for a desk, games and all that shiz.

MrLlamaLlama Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Well, my list is as follows: - Epic gaming rig. (Bigass monitor, should encompass entire FOV is possible ) - Decent keyboard, mouse, headphones, for comfort. - Good quality sound. I have 7.1 surround sound in my shoebox room, and it fucking owns. - A comfy chair is paramount. - All controls in close proximity. Heating, Volume, etc. (I'm fussy about how warm / cold my room is) - All games, Music, pen, phone etc within reach of chair. - Food stash. - Alcohol stash, if you're into drinking alone. (I, personally, am) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mpilk901 Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Husk, just when your on the XPS builder make the specs the same as mine. You can change some like the dual drives of Blu-Ray which is kind of unecessary, you only need one. There is a 30" monitor there too which is included in the $5,085. Any more questions, ask here.

Mpilk901 Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Lol. Before you do any of this shit I'd make an account on the Dell website. You need to sign up first before you can deliver. Once you've done that just choose what specs you want and click add to cart. Should be as simple as that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Husky Posted February 8, 2009 Author Share Posted February 8, 2009 (edited) Is that good enough for General Use and Gaming? Edited February 8, 2009 by Husky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mpilk901 Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Its good for both. That will be a beast of a computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Ray Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 You could add in a monitor if you wanted. And this is much cheaper than that Dell. Yeah, the XPSs are way too expensive. I would actually reccomend, if it had to be Dell, a suped up Studio XPS. Or just a studio. That's what I was going to get. You can get it with a 1GB Video Card, 8GB RAM, Quad Core CPU, etc. Better PC for less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Husky Posted February 8, 2009 Author Share Posted February 8, 2009 Hmm looks like a siiik PC. If it has a colored neon then I'm good to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Ray Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Hmm looks like a siiik PC. If it has a colored neon then I'm good to go. Plenty of Customization Options. And just as a tip, Core 2 Quads are much less expensive than Core i7, Core 2 Extreme, etc. Core 2 Quad Q9550: $250 (2.83 GHz, 12MB Cache, 1333FSB) Core 2 i7: Over $470 (2.66 GHz, 12MB Cache, 1333FSB Less Power for higher price. Besides, you can upgrade later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Husky Posted February 8, 2009 Author Share Posted February 8, 2009 So the real cheap ones are the most powerful? I am looking for the most powerful one on there. The cheapest most powerful. I'm not a computer monkey, you know more about them than I do. ^^ Can you show me the most cheapest powerful on there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And overclockable up 3.83GHz, and 1833 FSB, if you have the right motherboard. Can't get much better than that. I think that the Core i7 can get up to 3.33GHz, Quad Core, 12MB Cache, 1600FSB, but not overclockable and for well over $1000. And dude, the Core 2 Quad is not real cheap. It's actually up there a bit. Most people only have a Core 2 Duo Edited February 8, 2009 by raybob95 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToonSkull Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Six G's!? Gimme the money and I could remodel six bedrooms for that! But if you have the room -- you never gave us dimensions -- I'd skip the LCD crap and go with a projector. I'd keep a small monitor for use but the projectors -a good one- can project a large clear picture. I'd go to my uncle for the audio setup since he owns a music store and recording studio he knows a lot about audio and how to set up a quality sound system. So my advice is to find someone with audio knowledge. For the amount being spent I would have all 3 pop consoles -not the Wii- and a kick-ass PC. PC's always need upgrades, and upgrades get cheaper as time goes by, so I would hold off on anything other than the necessities of what you are currently playing. My taste on OS is Linux and I couldn't even imagine spending much more than 2 thousand on a bedroom makeover. Of course, you are talking to a guy who has a handcrafted coffin as his bed. My bedroom is done in the Rob Zombie/Ozzy Osbourne style. Good luck, from what I have read about you, your mom is gonna freak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
