900+$ for a Athlon FX-55 add another 50$ for a quality cooler
200~+ $ for a nForce4 SLI
2GB of 512X4 OCZ rev. 3 RAM for 200+$
Pair of 6800 ultra at 1000$
Audigy 2 ZD platinium at 150~$
Raptor 74GB 10K RPM
Maxline3 300GB 16MB cache
you want to spend all that 3000$+ money for a computer obselete from the top by March? who the heck does outside the super rich?

add scsi

What kind of gains?
For most people, 3000$ is WAY out of their price range.
What kind of benefits do you gain from SCSI outside of bragging rights (which are stupid).
At what added price?Tech^salvager wrote: better I\O performance
faster speeds
use of up to 7 items on one ribbon
Scsi is way better then sata and pata
People by alienware systems at 4k,5k $. the price vs preformce is less then it use to be.Ace Pace wrote:At what added price?Tech^salvager wrote: better I\O performance

Who in the reguler world (I.E non enterprise\server) do you need the added I\O preformance? today SATA drives are allready fast enough for personal use.
Faster speeds? again, see above, who needs?
7 items? I imagine SOME people need that, again, do most people need it? no.
Again, it comes down to Price VS preformance benefit, where SCSI falls way short today.
You realize thats a very tiny minority that buys Alienware? and those that buy the 4K and 5K systems are even smaller minority in there?Tech^salvager wrote: People by alienware systems at 4k,5k $. the price vs preformce is less then it use to be.
Anyways buying 2GB's of ram is a waste.
its still there.Ace Pace wrote:You realize thats a very tiny minority that buys Alienware? and those that buy the 4K and 5K systems are even smaller minority in there?Tech^salvager wrote: People by alienware systems at 4k,5k $. the price vs preformce is less then it use to be.

The ratio is less, but would you buy a 6800 Ultra? NO, because its cheaper and better to get a GT, and safely OC it to Ultra levels.
Theres allways the idiots who want the abseloutly tweaked rig when they can build it for less.Tech^salvager wrote: its still there.
How would you know what I would buy? Dosen't matter anyways

Dosn't change the fact that being at the top is worthless and in-efficient.
You don't think someone who spends anywhere from 1 to 2k extra for a brand name is an idiot?Tech^salvager wrote: dosen't mean their idiots
So the GT can hit speeds of the ultra extreme
No I don't.Ace Pace wrote:You don't think someone who spends anywhere from 1 to 2k extra for a brand name is an idiot?Tech^salvager wrote: dosen't mean their idiots

So I suppose you think the added price of a 6800Ultra is also okey?Tech^salvager wrote: No I don't.
Cause they can thats why. talk to me on IRCAce Pace wrote:So I suppose you think the added price of a 6800Ultra is also okey?Tech^salvager wrote: No I don't.
And have no problem buying any of the upper end brand names?
If you have the knowledge to choose the top quality parts, you should have the knowledge to know the brand name only gives you warrenty, a promise that it will work, and bragging rights.
EDIT: I still fail to see why anyone should get the way top end, which was my ORIGINAL point, answer it instead of nitpicking.
They can? same way as saying like a kid in reply to a parent "Because!", and its no more a valid answer here.Tech^salvager wrote:Cause they can thats why. talk to me on IRCAce Pace wrote:So I suppose you think the added price of a 6800Ultra is also okey?Tech^salvager wrote: No I don't.

Support? last time I fell for that you had your whole gang there. Real time my ass, dosn't give time to write a decent rebuttel.Tech^salvager wrote:No support in IRC just so I can talk real time with ya.
And its the person's descion wether or not they should buy the uber stuff or not. That dosen't make them idiots though.
EDIT: I gave a valid reason.
Then go to irc.quakenet.orgAce Pace wrote:Support? last time I fell for that you had your whole gang there. Real time my ass, dosn't give time to write a decent rebuttel.Tech^salvager wrote:No support in IRC just so I can talk real time with ya.

Because they can is NOT a valid reason outside of idiots, do you buy the newest shit 'because"? NO, because there is NO benefit.
It does make them idiots for wasting extra money in this money centered society.
Again, why the fuck go to an IRC network, where I am forced to write short, sub standerd replies and where you can do anything you want?Tech^salvager wrote: Then go to irc.quakenet.org

Yes it is a valid reason.
And no it dosen't make them Idiots.

It isn't a valid reason unless your a millionaire or someone who's leeching off someone else's money, money is not just a toy.
So how would you define idiot? the person who blows 300$ on a stupid FX?
P.S the example was just to keep it in the same subject of computers.

Thats a retarded, so by that definition, fundies arn't retarded? actully, scratch that, bad example, so by that definition you think Bush isn't an idiot?Tech^salvager wrote: I think a Idiot as a mental retard.
