Special discount through my work discount for Dell. What do you guys think? What do you think it would have cost to make it myself?

PS: Post up your "Hardware Haul" here too.

Seems a bit pricey to me, with no LCD and no speakers. Very nice video card though. Also that hard drive looks fast but on the other hand it is tiny by today's standards.
Nice system though still, kicks the crap out of the old one I am using. :)

It was over $2650 before the discount.

And yes, the HD is small but it spins at 10k RPMs. Perfect for gaming. I'm going to put my media and secondary files on a second huge hard-drive.

As for the monitor, I'm hooking it up to my HDTV. I already bought the Bluetooth keyboard and mouse.

Really? Does everybody else agree?

Pretty good deal.

I was playing around with specs last night, building my new pc, and came up with the price somewhat similar to that what you got after discount. Granted I used Athlon 64 chip, and 6800GT card.

That hd should be the shit. Too bad it small, and still pricey now, but the speed is awesome.

No, that's a fucking great price. You son of a bitch.

Excellent deal! I wont be upgrading anything myself until games turn to a chopfest.

Yeh, that's good stuff, although I don't know how good it is compared to the US, but my computer cost me about $800 with a 3000XP CPU, 512 corsair budget ram, 80gb 7200rpm HDD and crappy 5200 graphics card.

If I had a budget like that, I would have got that one for sure

You spent all that money and didn't even bother to tack on another hundred bucks for XP Pro. Tsk tsk. :chick:

And I bet that 16x dvd-rom/rw drive is a rebranded lite on, same as mine. Have fun with that. ;)

I get Pro for about $30 at the company store. Same reason i didn't get any productivity software, mouse, keyboard, WiFi, Bluetooth. I get all that stuff for super cheap at the company store.

Now that I don't know... Hmm...

Oh, well then.

If you want to check your dvd drive, hit up the device manager the console management window. If you see it listed as a SOHW-16xxx model than you've got a rebranded Liteon.
