For the money, what you are buying is crap.
They are saying 2 gig of memory is over 230 dollars?
wtf you could get 2 gig for 40 bucks.

I dont get companies like that, just reminds me of alienware.

Well, there are differences in performance from various types/brands of RAM, but on the whole I would agree with you Lanks.

For people who don't want to build their own machine or don't know how to it seems like a good machine.
 
That link doesn't work for me..but 2gig of ram is around 10 bucks now.<div>
</div><div>I used to build computers for friends, family members, and myself so I know a little bit about the price range.  The most expensive computer you can build yourself right now (excluding monitor, keyboard, mouse, OS CD) is probably around $2000-$2500.  Anymore than that and the increase in performance isn't worth the money...such as a 2.8Ghz CPU and a 3.0Ghz CPU with a freaking price difference of $200.</div><div>

Well, the&nbsp;http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4282841&CatId=4093<span class="info">OCZ Gold Tri Channel 6GB PC10666 DDR3 Memory (3 x 2048!!!!) is $199, so, i dont know if they have fucking expensive ass water equipment shit freezing their expensive ram, i think its absurd.

I would love to buy a new computer if i could afford it (but the government wont let me work legally for a loooong time) so websites like this really piss me off at the moment.

Did you watch the video about the making of the computer.&nbsp; It explains why the mem is so expensive.

All you had to do was copy+paste in that case... Anyway I fixed the link.

And yeah, pricey, but that is a badass mother fucking computer
 
I'm still waiting for a long winded explination from Aemon about why they would go to submerged cooling. I know why, but it's still fun to read Aemon's posts...

I would love to have those solid state harddrives though... that would be awesome!

Eh, it usually comes down to the physical storage device such as the Hard Disk Drive, but with these new fangled Solid State Drives I dunno anymore.

The submerged cooling that they're using is actually kind of cool, because instead of using the more traditional heatsink/fan or watercooling systems they use mineral oils to transfer heat from the processor.

Although, according to Tom's Hardware and Hard|OCP these cooling systems are NOT as reliable at keeping tempratures constant like a water cooled system. It appears that after about 6 or so hours of hard core gaming, the tempratures will begin to constantly climb until the system eventually overheats and has to reboot. Now the systems they're using do not have a radiator to help cool down the system that kind of defeats the purpose, because they're designed NOT to have radiators for aesthetic purposes.

Have a good one.
