$5,427 to play CRYSIS.
that thing better have 3 or 4 GeForce GTX280s for that much money...
at that price, you're damn close to a MacPro (with twice the processors) ...of course that's not to say the MP would play games better, just that it's a lot of money.
That is indeed a lot of money.
the video card in there is good enough to get you CRYSIS in VERY HIGH settings..
ain't no MAc can do that.
That whole setup is about to tip over in all different directions!
(yes, I know it's in an overly dramatic three-point perspective)
That seems overpriced. My rough mental calculation for what you could assemble with that money would give me 3 GTX 280's, two 1tb drives and some custom watercooling.
2 gtx 280 graphics cards: $1,400
a qx9770 clocked at 3.2 ghz: $1,500
1.3 tb of SATA hd space: $250
blu-ray burner: $800
intel x48 motherboard: $250
4 mb of ram: $100
being able to play Crysis at 80 fps...priceless
Or...
nice case: $120
good MoBo: $350
2x GTX 280 SSC edition: $1,340
1200 Watt power supply: $390
4 GB PC3 16000: $580
2x WD Velociraptors: $600
qx9770: $1,500
CPU cooler: $100
Blue-Ray Burner: $800
Windows XP OEM: $140
Shipping: $250
TOTAL: $6,170
Yea, I'm a newegg dreamer... I know
GIGABYTE 3D AURORA - $129.99
WD VelociRaptor - $299.99
SAMSUNG Spinpoint F1 500GB (2) - $179.98
EVGA GeForce GTX 280 - $1,269.98
COOLER MASTER Real Power Pro 1250W - $299.99

In the end, it's not too shabby. I didn't include a monitor or speakers, but they usually don't include those in the price (do they?)
Since when are Blu-Ray burners $800... more like $400.
@ Sameer
how much a blu ray burner costs all depends on the brand
would a $600 sony blu ray burner be more acceptable sameer naga...naga...naga work here anymore?
Priceless - classic :)
You can't have two GTX 280's on an x48 motherboard :p
You need an nforce one like 680i/780i/790i ;)
Is it me or do PC manufacturers bring out all the new models in the summer? You have Dell, Asus and HP all coming out w/ brand new models within the last two weeks!

maybe because of graduation gifting and people buying new PCs for college....
It's "Mouse" computers... you were fooled by the mistake in akihabaranews
Please, please do a little research before you post a new article. First of all, it is not Mousse Computer, but Mouse Computer. If everybody starts copying and pasting, then the hell with all the blogs. I hate it when there are no URL's published. And what is it for news if nobody can't find MouSSe Computer? Better not to publish such articles as they have totally no sense.
Mouse Computer of Japan has gaming PC's and they are called 'GTune'. On the Website of Mouse Computer http://www.mouse-jp.co.jp/ you can find GTune, but here is the direct link http://www.g-tune.jp/
Damn!
And it's мышь computer in Russian...but they "have totally no sense" over there :p
You know, with all that money, i could feed my family for 2 months, buy some cosole video games for PS3 and 360 to keep myself entertained and live happily for a while.
This is exactly why pc gaming is coming to a death, or, only affordable to only a 10% of the gamers community
Well first of all PC gaming's not coming to a death. Second of all, you don't need to spend that much. Throw a

Everyone is saying that you can get like xbox, ps3 and all this other stuff for this price, but to be hoenst how long do you think it will take for a computer like this to drop in price in about 1 year or so? And even if you do buy it now, think of how long it's going to last you!!
All that horsepower with that huge sticker on it and NO DDR3 RAM!? *FAIL*
Oh wait, so that's the price of the system alone and not the whole package in the picture ?
5 grand sure does not that big nowadays.. :(

You want to give that comment a fourth try there bud?
It doesnt quite seem like you got all that.
Uhm yeah... :( I had this long paragraph talking about the Radeon 4850 and what kind of performance you could get for less than $200, and the history of high end rigs, and how the high end doesn't kill the mainstream etc but for some reason only the first sentence appeared... After the third attempt I gave up :/
Oh well lol.
