The 120hz is split up between 2 eyes, 60hz for each, so you dont get any flickering with the 3D. Reading really isn't that hard, and the info is all over the internet...]]>Mar 10th 2009 3:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/10/ibuypower-trots-out-geforce-3d-vision-equipped-desktops/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/10/ibuypower-trots-out-geforce-3d-vision-equipped-desktops/

I have a phenom II black edition with a GTX 280 OCX and everything runs pretty great. 3Dvision does tax the game some compared to when its turned off, but for the most part I havent noticed too much lag in gaming. Also Ive read other users having 8800 and 9800 cards without any problems. The refresh is not locked to fps, just in case some people are confusing the 2. If the game runs at 20fps its still running at 120hz in 3D. the 120hz is split for both eyes, so each eye is getting the usual 60hz refresh.

The reason 120hz is so important for 3D gaming is that the old setups split a normal 60hz signal so each eye was getting half the refresh rate. At 30hz per eye you would see a crap-ton of flickering. with the new setup there is no flickering and some pretty damn amazing 3D]]>Mar 10th 2009 3:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/10/ibuypower-trots-out-geforce-3d-vision-equipped-desktops/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/10/ibuypower-trots-out-geforce-3d-vision-equipped-desktops/In four years, will these things still play the latest titles if they have not been upgraded at all?

They are relatively low end, paltry offerings.

Do gamers really like these unbelievably disgusting case designs? I usually get a conservative looking black case for my builds.... But then, if I was twelve years old, maybe i'd appreciate this "space-ship", "jet-airplanes" and a "little of transformers" plasticky junk in my office/gaming room.]]>Mar 10th 2009 1:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/10/ibuypower-trots-out-geforce-3d-vision-equipped-desktops/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/10/ibuypower-trots-out-geforce-3d-vision-equipped-desktops/

I would love to do that.

And you can choose a different case, but your choices are between fugly and less fugly, and 1 or 2 cases that look ok.]]>Mar 10th 2009 2:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/10/ibuypower-trots-out-geforce-3d-vision-equipped-desktops/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/10/ibuypower-trots-out-geforce-3d-vision-equipped-desktops/
1512.91usd for the parts and OS plus 598usd for the 3d Vision Bundle = 2110.91usd

Where possible I picked the exact part everywhere else i took a middle of the road price.

I'de say their offer is def. worth it at 1999usd with the extra warrenty and not having to deal with the install.

SirisC did you include the OS case PSU and BluRay burner in your price?
