Nope just pulled out a Calc and Converter:
3500 Australian Dollar = $2,011.10 United States Dollar



Well thats no 5000 but I'd say if you wanted a total brand name comp Dell or a average Alienware (dont bash me for saying brand names) But if you can build it..you will have one hell of a comp.

I got a new system. It was a Athlon 2700, ATI Radeon 9700 PRO, 120 GB Maxtor HD with 2MB cache (this is important) for just over £1000. You should be able to get a top of the range machine for much the same. Make sure the processor is an Athlon as it does floating point calculations better than Pentiums therefore they are much better for gaming. The Radeon 9700 Pro card is amazing especially for gaming.

from my experiances with prices in australia for american products:

If a pair of levis costs 35 dollars in america, it will cost about 70 us dollars in AU.

A cd costs 15 US dollars in the US, in AU 30 US dollars.

I can only assume the same probably goes for PC's.

Its a great place to live ... as long as you make about 3 times what you make in the us

The best comp i could come up with is this:

Intel Pentium 4 Processor 3.06ghz 533mhz FSB w/ 512kb Cache w/H-T

1.5 RDRAM PC-1066

[Supernatural]

Since you have lots of cash, then get an Alienware or Falcon V. Building PC's from scratch is for the not-so-rich.
