I realized this about 20 min ago when I went to their website and tryed to see what my rig that I just bought from Ibuypower would cost.
$4796 later I realized I saved about $2700.

the best thing falcon has going for itself is that they get high-end ati cards very early. and they're almost always in stock. ie they have lots and lots of x800 xt cards right now. and they've been nearly impossible to find for 2 months.
i got sick of waiting for one and bought a 6800 gt. just came in today, and i tried doom for the first time. absolutely incredible. especially the in-game interfaces and pda system. i love that kind of stuff, and it's soooo well implemented. i walk around just watching the different (stylish) menu systems.

Heres a great article on John Carmack:
NY Times
Scratch Monarch off. $850 for this; 64 bit Athlon 3000, 512 meg of RAM, 40 gig HD, no DVD drive, no CD ROM, no sound card, no grafix card, no network card, no monitor, and no speakers....yack.. I did get a decent price at ibuypower with the same setup with a CD\DVD combo, Gforce 4, and a network card for less than $600. I'm considering it but FirstBloods got me a little scared though. Damnit, my head hurts now, I've got to get something though, Doom 3 and HalfLife 2 own my conciousness. You think those $500 dells with the 2.6Ghz P4s would suffice? Someone who knows their shit please help me out. I'm looking for something between $500 and $600 sans monitor and speakers. I would really like a Athlon 64. If someone could find me a good setup for that price I might even show my appreciation by sending them a free game or system.
If you can deal with Intel chips, wait for a good deal from Dell and you should be able to hit the $600 price ceiling no problem.Quote:
