| Functional Alcoholic  |  Build a $5000 Computer Ok I just want to see what parts everyone comes up with. This is the deal your Budget is $5000. You can build any kind of computer you want. Server, Gaming computer, Media Center, it doesn't matter. Monitor, Keyboard, Mouse, and OS are not included in this budget. This is for the Box ONLY!! You have to use the same online store for all your parts. Budget does not include shipping. No Pre-builds!!    |

| I don't know how to put this, but, I'm kind of a big deal.  | Alright, I'll be the asshat that deviates from the rules and uses more than one vendor, and, simply because it's a pet peeve, I'll include shipping prices as well: AMD FX-60 - $1,011 DFI nF4 SLI-DR Expert - $183 2GB OCZ PC4000 Platinum - $206 after MIR OCZ GamerXstream 700w SLI PSU - $158 after MIR 2 x eVGA 7900GTX 690MHz/1760MHz - $1,160 2 x Arctic Cooling Accelero X1 VGA Cooler - $76 BFG PhysX - $295 Creative X-Fi Elite Pro w/ 64mb - $292 after MIR 2 x Western Digital Raptor X 150GB - $610 Seagate 750GB/16MB - $464 2 x Plextor 716sa - $214 Lian Li PC777-B - $277 TOTAL = $4,946 Undecided on the cooling - possibly reconsider the hard drive configuration and invest in a high quality WC kit. Also, ask this question a few months and you'd be looking at a Conroe setup...  |
