Are you serious

That info i put up actually comes from Australian PCPowerplay gaming magazine they put up a beast/beastie every issue, thats their latest (July 06) Dont forget the beast has '4x' HDD and 2 Graphic cards in SLI mode, Dell 3007WPF 30" LCD Monitor. How much is the Dell 3007WPF in the US? NZ & AUS prices differ slightly, it works out a few 100 dearer for kiwis!

OMG I need to go to the US!:hmm:
Yeah - like your 7800 GTX is even out of date. My single x1900 XTX will score double what your dual 7800 GTX's do - just tested it on a friends system. I got nearly double 3dmark2006 points to his single 7800 GTX, although my dual core (Dual CPU) CPU does add to my score a bit to his single CPU. Also, a 7800 GTX over here costs about $350 where it looks like it costs over $1000 over there - OUCH! And this is for a last generation card too! The current new NVidia board is a 7900 GTX, and they even have a dual card 7950 GTX that has two of these boards sandwiched together. Anyway, there has to be a currency exchange thing going on here I think.

PS. And yes - I am running multi HD's on RAID 0.

PPS. THere is a problem though - my computer has turned into a mini room heater - gets hot in my room now from its heat output!
