nope,tigerdirect sells pretty cheap. did u read all the specs on the computer? 600GB HDD, multiple Athlon Processors(Athlon is really good)
dual video card system, 2 expensive 256mb graphix cards. Also it has a high end sound system and i think it has neon lights on the front.

I could deal with a 600 GB Hard Drive. I think I'm going to go get some RAM today though, I do a lot of advanced c4d rendering and that ntop of Photoshop CS2 pushes my RAM past it's abilities, so...
Anyways, looks awesome.

a 600GB HDD would last me forever,it took 2 years to fill my 40GB HDD,but then im always deleting stuff i dont need so it would last decades and even if you have like 6 games on it that are demanding,it only takes like 10Gig

Holy crap that' a ripoff, I bet you I could build a way better system for a fraction of the price. In fact, just for fun one time I checked the price for my dream machine. for a little over $7,000 bucks, I could get and Athlon X2 dual core proccesser rig, with two 7800gtx's in SLi, an Audigy ZS 2, 500gb HDD, 4gb RAM, 7.1 surround sound system, and a 37" LCD TV.
And just so you know, it's not a 600gb HDD, they don't make them. It' two 300gb's in a RAID0 config. Two 300 gig's will run you down about $290.

Pie is building his own computer, I am jealous of his 2 GB RAM

My dad built me a computer a year ago, I dont ever know what happened to it but it had specs comparable to that for WAY less. 1 TB of memory would only cost you about $300 :/

What?! I'm guessing you mean Hard drive space, I wish I had a terabyte of memory, 32 bit CPU's only support up to 4gb's of memory. Although (theoretically) a 64 bit CPU could address 18 exabyte's of memory! (18 billion gigabyte's!) although with the available software it's I think 32gb of memory, although the time when that much memory for one machine is available will be relatively far off.

Yea, take two 500 gigs and put them in, thats what Im doing with my comp.

Where can you get two 500gb's for $300? The cheapest I've seen a SINGLE 500gb drive was about $350

First off 1 Tb doesnt exist (yet) also they do make 600 Gb because i have an 800 Gb hard drive and yet i only use around 80 gb

I just bought some RAM, so now I will have a total of 1 GB.

I will too once I finish building my new computer (which hopefully will be soon).

Are you sure it's not two 400gb's in RAID? Because I'd like to see that, and it would be pretty stupid to use a 600-800gb HDD in a computer because it would be much cheaper to use two 300-400gb's.

Do you think 1 GB will be good enough to run CS2 without freezing?

Probably, 340mb is the requirement, so 3x that should run pretty smoothly.

First off, dont talk unless you can back it, 1 TB exists, its just not available for commercial purchase, and second did you ever think of getting two 500 gig drives and putting them together?

Just because something isn't there doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
