The problem with superpowerful pre-built systems.

[Vamp]

I was thinking of this and wondering if anyone else agrees. When you pay $10.000 for a system like th Dell Renegade, you get 4 current GPUs and the security of being able to play games for the next 5 years, but what happens if in a year a new type of GPU technology is released that, say, improves lighting effects or particle effects? Then you're stuck with four really powerful cards that just lack a simple feature that is standard with newer games.

or that every manufacturer switches to a newer direct x version that your card doesnt support............

the problem imho is that you pay way to much......... if youre gonna spend that much money on a computer, you might as well do some research and do it yourself/have your local computer wiz do it...........

$10,000?

If you would spend half that now and the other half 5 years from now, you would end up with 2 machines and the second machine would be way better than what you could get with $10,000 now.

The $5,000 could also earn you interest during that time.

But even $5,000 is way too much to spend on a PC in my opinion.

Why would anyone here want to spend $10,000 on a PC. What would you be doing with it.

not with a $10k PC you tit
there's really nothing that justifies that cost
our Exchange server we just installed at work ran a little over $4k
granted, that's with the deals we get from Dell,
but even without, it might have ran about $6k
that's an enterprise class server, quad CPU, SCSI storage,
for half of what you would use for e-mail.....come on now.....

"Justify"?
Don't be silly.
It would be difficult to justify a home PC over $500 and we all know there are many computers on this forum alone that cost 2 to 3 times that.

How do you reconcile a car with over 100 horsepower considering the requirements of our daily driving?

Let's not let Puritanism invade our toys please.
