Whats the best PC?

[Madboy]

Im talking, if you bought a pc off the shelf (if it were maxxed out, i doubt it) or custom built, what is the most expensive/powerful PC available to this date?

[WilliamRobinson]

its hard to say i doubt u could get the "best" of the selfs but if it was to be custom built u would have to find out the very best components and what the computer for? (Video Editing/Office/Gaming?)

i hope this website helps u find good components i have purchased from ebuyer in the past very reliable

I have always built custom PC's and had no problems. However that said, for a first PC I would recommend buying off the shelf. This is because of extras you will need, a monitor, keyboard, mouse, software etc.

In terms of a high spec performance PC you will find it difficult to buy one out of the box cheap, although there are plenty of places you can get custom built PC's!

im not interested in buying one, just curious. I mean for example, is anybody using a 9Ghz Pentium VI Processor for example

[agmorgan]

Im using a Pentium 166000000 Hz with 80000000 b RAM and 2000000000 b memory.

Its reeeaaal sweeet.

Intel Celeron D @ 2816mhz
768Mb RAM
256Mb AGP 8x GFX CARD (Radeon 9550)
80Gb 7200Rpm ATA Drive.

Tis what i'm running, nothing special, in fact the GFX Card is only on 4x because my mobo doesn't support any higher, yet it suports processers upto 4.2Ghz (strange)

The best i have seen so far -
AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800+ (X2 means Dual Core) @ 5600+ (oc'd)
6144Mb RAM @ DDR420 (yes, its oc'd)
Dual GeForce 6800GT totalling 512Mb of Gfx memory (Sli)
Unsure on Mobo :S

But yeah, thats gonna cost alot to make...

Do they keep that in the freezer?

Do they keep that in the freezer?

Good point, i'm not sure what cooling they had on it...

Might be worth dropping into the shop just to ask that question in its self

About 6 months ago or something, I built a machine for my home (which I now rarely use (go figure ) ) with 300gb SATA HDD, 1GB (running Dual Channel) of Corsair something RAM, GA-K8NXP-9 Motherboard, Sapphire Radeon X800XT, AMD Athlon64 3600+. That was about £1500 I believe. I was quite pleased with it. I use my laptop more now though, especially since I left that desktop in England.

www.voodoocomputers.com. I saw an f5 last year when i was at the Las Vegas computer convention. Quite impressive. It's now been renamed "The Omen".

Someone posted a link a while back in the chit chat forum for a computer company. The computers looked pretty cool and the specs were crazy. I forget the name of the company though. It was rockwell somthing.
