Holy Shat - New Gaming PC

[Gijink]

A friend of mine, who's father owns a series of apartment complexes and condos, gave his son, among many other gifts, 'any PC he wanted.'

He went to AlienWare.com and pimped out a comp for 10,000 (!!!!!!) fucking dollars.


Holy shit, it has fucking everything. 2 30' monitors, 4 gigs of sweet ass RAM, 2 (!!!) terabytes of memory, the whole nine yards. He literally doesn't even know what RAM is, but he basically 'ticked off' every possible option at the customize website, so he ordered a famazing computer.

Does anyone think this is a good idea; is there a better PC site to customize with? Is AlienWare a good site? Is my friend retarded for NOT knowing what he's buying, but doing it anyway.

The only offset is... he really can afford it, it's not that big of a deal to him, but still... what advice would you give him?

[Kimkalisto]

What are the videocard specs?

[Phlimphlam]

but can this machine internet?

[Rapex]

He bought 4 gigs of ram? What an idiot. Too bad he didn't spend more time on internet, or else he would know you could just download some.

[Lividum]

I would tell him to give me some money.

He could've a similar or better PC for maybe $8,000 if he built it.

768MB NVIDIA® GeForce™ 8800 Ultra

Holy shit!
Can you give me your friends address? I want to sneak in and steal his computer...and maybe his virginity.:boink:

[silverspade14]

He probably got overcharged about 1 or 2k but it sounds like money doesn't matter.

There's more.

[JesusTheJedi]

Fuck, I wish I was rich...

[lordfarquad]

Sounds like a waste... you only need 3 gigs, since windows only sees 3.2 gigs of ram. Its pretty easy and cheap to just download the 0.2.

But in all honesty, that sounds like a fucking supercomputer. How do you fit all of that into a standard case? 2 terabytes? sound card, physics card, 2 giant graphics cards, and to think this guy knows nothing about computers and how he'll just fuck it up with going to bad porn sites and getting adware and viruses.

on the other hand, he's your friend......use him.

[ZeroTigerX]

Sounds like that comp wipes its ass with Crysis.

[El Bandito]

it has fucking everything. 2 30' monitors


HOLY SWEET JESUS MARY AND JOSEPH!!!



It has TWO 30 FOOT MONITORS!!!!@!@!!!1!!!1 That is fuckin huge man, how do they fit in his room? He has high ceilings right? I knew it.

[Fungus Amungus]

I'm getting a computer from Falcon Northwest that will be pretty much maxed out. I was originally going to get the Aenima eye image from the Tool cd painted onto the side of the case, but the paint job itself would've been around 5k. Instead I'm going to get a purple colored flame onto a peral white background. The computer will cost around 13k, but I aint paying a damn thing for it. I got a scholarship for working on getting a computer science degree and a part of the scholarship is I get to build a ultimate computer costing no more than 15k.

[Doodoocacca]

Could of probably got all that for 5k or less if you built it yourself, aside from the monitors.

[Meatlantis]

this thread is almost like a shopping list for thieves

[Joeybits]

4 gigs of sweet ass RAM, 2 (!!!) terabytes of memory

I think u mean a 2 terabyte hard drive... because RAM and memory are the same thing.

Sounds like a sweet computer, but 2 terabytes seems worthless and a waste to me, Most space id buy is 200 gb, i cant see me using any more then that.

And yeah probably coulda built the computer for less, which is what i plan on doing when im older.

[temp100]

Since I'm in NZ and prefer to build my own computers, I've never really looked into Alienware. Sure they probably customise good PCs, but I've heard that they're rather overpriced.

[Fungus Amungus]

Alienware, Falcon Northwest and Voodoo PC are "overpriced" due to the unique cases and Falcon is even more expensive due to the availbility of getting a custom paint job. If you want a computer without the fancy case go to Ibuypower or Cyberpower. They have some good setups.

[CodyTheBowler]

so he could have 10 viruses and his computer wouldn't run any slower?

[Burningnun]

It sounds good until you have Greenpeace kicking down your fucking door.

I didn't even think there is a single PSU in existence that will run that stable. Is he using two?

If money isn't an issue, inform him of phase change cooling.

[Gijink]

It's 30 inches, which is almost 3 feet.

Jesus, not 30 feet.


And Idk, it's supposed to be a standard chassis, case.

It's fucking unreal.

Don't worry, I don't think anyone thought you meant 30 feet. :D

Make that 2 people who don't even know what RAM is.

for shit pc's :mad:

[Cee]

Well since money doesn't matter it's not like I'm going to call him stupid for not making the computer himself.

[Al Paccioli]

[SheBear]

please tell your friend that having 2 30" monitors is silly, but maybe he has a reason to want to. Also, tell him that he probably has the most powerful computer ever, which is a little bit silly. Like he could run the entirety of NASA and run four high end games at once.

and tell him to send me monies.

[kledster]

i just built a pc for 1,200 and i can play every available game at max settings. he shoulda spend the rest of that money on something else

[9Planets]

You can build an AMAZING PC for a quick 2 G's.

I woulda spent the other money on blow and whores.

There's more.
Where can I download this stuff?

[Rado]

I don't know why, but I stupidly clicked that. Don't click it anyone.

I've never seen the point in having 2 monitors, I get along fine with just 1.
