They could have used that slim form factor and made this another media center PC.

Only this time, one that easily mounts on your wall just below your Sony HDTV.

I'd actually be interested in something like that.]]>Jan 17th 2007 11:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/17/sonys-core-2-quad-yes-quad-vaio-r-master-answers-whos-you/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/17/sonys-core-2-quad-yes-quad-vaio-r-master-answers-whos-you/Jan 17th 2007 12:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/17/sonys-core-2-quad-yes-quad-vaio-r-master-answers-whos-you/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/17/sonys-core-2-quad-yes-quad-vaio-r-master-answers-whos-you/Mar 18th 2007 11:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/17/sonys-core-2-quad-yes-quad-vaio-r-master-answers-whos-you/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/17/sonys-core-2-quad-yes-quad-vaio-r-master-answers-whos-you/Jan 17th 2007 12:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/17/sonys-core-2-quad-yes-quad-vaio-r-master-answers-whos-you/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/17/sonys-core-2-quad-yes-quad-vaio-r-master-answers-whos-you/
Why aren't they using workstation grade processors such as Opterons or Xeon? (Heck even a 2 QX6700 Processor for 8 Processors total) Or even SCSI Interface? Or 800MHz ECC RAMS?

Ok, so for $2,000, you're telling me you can get a computer with a Core 2 Quad, 3GB of RAM, 3 TB of disk, nVidia Quadro FX 1500, and a 24-inch 1920x1200 LCD????

On another note the processor sounds like a beasty package but with only 3GB you must be joking, I have that amount of memory in my laptop.

It's still way overpriced. Anyone with an IT department with a budget this big, is intelligent enough to know they can build one for much cheaper. This certianly isn't aimed at the home-user market. If anything, I can see this as a professional video/sound mixing/editing system, but I'd go get a Mac Pro. Sorry - knocks it out the water.

Hey smarty pants,

All prices are from newegg

Quadro FX 1500 = $475.99
Core 2 Quad QX6600 = $879.00
Motherboard = $100-200
DDR2667 3GB RAM = $314.97 (1GB $104.99x3)
WD 3.5" SATA 2.0 3TB = 959.94 (500GB $159.99x6)

Giving a total of approximately $2,800

Blu-ray Drive = $599.99

Case = $100-200
Powersupply = $100-200
24" display with much higher resolution then 1080p = $300-500

That is still short of $8000 by a long shot.

I can't believe I just wasted some time doing that...
Gawd some people are just too smart.

1920x1200 is not much higher than 1920x1080

This system is obviously targeted at A) companies that need powerful workstations from a single name-brand. More than likely they won't be buying this directly from Sony anyway, it'll come through a vendor that they already work with who can give them 1-or-2 stop support/RMA services. The other target, to a much lesser extent, is rich people who just want the latest and greatest, but aren't technically savvy.]]>Jan 18th 2007 12:46PM
