I Ordered a Machine (was GeForce FX 5600 or Ti4800?)
 

OK, I went ahead and ordered the machine with the GeForce 5600 Ultra. Here is what I got for less than $1200:

P4 2.8 Ghz Hyper-Threaded 800Mhz FSB
Gigabit Motherboard GA-8IK1100 (875P chipset)
512MB PC3200 400Mhz Dual DDR RAM
ThermalTake Case with 7 fans and 12 drive bays (500W power)
80GB HD w/8MB cache
16x DVD
52x24x52 CDRW
GeForce FX 5600 Ultra 256MB 8X AGP/TV/DVI
Sounblaster Audigy 5.1 Digital
Network Carc/Keyboar/Mouse

I think I got a good deal. It is much better than what I have available at home right now.

Great deal computers are really comeing down in price.

yupp, sounds lika a good deal to me.. I should get something new too I think :o

Superb deal. I'm going to have to wait before upgrading my machine I think - saving for a new motorbike next year...

I thought the deal was a good one too! I searched the internet for a week and even called some "local builders" The price was usually around $1600 for the stuff listed above. The drive is a bit small, but drive prices and memory prices are both dropping, so I can add that stuff in baby steps.

Just got a new machine myself.

P4 2.6 800mhz fsb with HT
Intel Motherboard
1024MB PC3200 400Mhz Dual DDR RAM
Case with 450W PSU and 6 Fans
180Gig HD
DVD R/RW Drive
nVidia FX 5900 128MB 8xAGP

Cost me £1300

So far very happy with the machine :)

Not bad at all Rincewind. What manufacturer/reseller was that from if you don't mind my asking?

I bought the parts from www.ebuyer.com and built the machine myself.

If you are interested, i can send you the full parts lists i bought and prices.

No need Rincewind - the link to the site is enough - not one I've come across before and damn they are cheap!

They are best prices that i've come accross so far.
