Good system. It uses last-generation graphics cards though, DirectX 10 cards.

But then, the system was reviewed in March, 2009.

Gonna build myself another gaming computer next year myself.

Not the kind of machine to leave powered on 24/7!

There is nothing like using a howitzer cannon to kill a mouse. To me, it's 7,000 bucks wasted. Parts will be obsolete in 6 months and there is nothing other than benchmark envy that will drive its sales. There will be no effect on programs, gaming, etc. with any observable increase in performance, except for benchmarks, over a "normal" high end system at 1/4 of its price. This machine is for bragging rights only - up to 6 months. I would rather put the extra money into eye-finity or Unicef if I was so blessed with it.

Hey DVD+R, if you own the machine in your sig, you have a wild machine yourself. Nice Comp!
