my friend has a i7 with 12 gigs of ddr3 ram with 4 4890s
That’s pretty sweet. But aren’t 3 295s better than 4 4890s?
295 is better than a 4870x2, so a 295 is roughly equivalent to 2 4890s.
anyway, that’s a freaking amazing box.

Yeah I know it’s not really a good comp.

I was at best buy today and saw a 25 inch monitor, and I was thinking you’d have to be sitting 4 feet back from it to get the full picture. 30 inches would be wild.
I have a 27" tv on my desk, so I’m used to it.
Not a fast PC indeed but it should do the job for the mainstream games.
Also, ++ for Logitech keyboard/mouse/sound

Wow I never thought someone could have a worst GPU than me.
Haha!!! mac = EPIC fail
Here’re mine, all self-built apart from the lappy. I left out boring crap like PSUs and optical drives.
Main desktop (aging a bit but still does the biz):
CPU: Athlon64 X2 @ 2.6GHz
RAM: 4GB DDR2-800
Mobo: Asus M2N-SLi Deluxe (nForce 570 chipset)
GFX: 256MB GF 8600GT (primary), 256MB GF6600 (secondary)
HDs: 4x250GB SATA-II (from old server)
Sound: X-Fi XtremeGamer
Case: Antec Three Hundred
Monitors: 2x17" @ 1280x1024, 1x20" @ 1680x1050
Speakers: Logitech X540 (5.1)
Keyboard: MS Natural Ergonomic 4000
Mouse: MS/Razer Habu
OS: Vista, Ubuntu, OpenSolaris
Server (rebuilt fairly recently, used for file/web serving):
CPU: Some energy-efficient Athlon64 X2, underclocked to 1GHz
RAM: 2GB DDR2-800
Mobo: Gigabyte GA-MA74GM-S2 (AMD 740G chipset)
GFX: Radeon HD 2100 (integrated)
HDs: 1x250GB SATA-II (root), 5x1TB SATA-II (data, in RAID-Z)
Case: Antec Three Hundred
OS: OpenSolaris
HTPC (built from the guts of my old server):
CPU: Energy-efficient Athlon64 X2 @ 2.4 GHz
RAM: 1GB DDR2-800
Mobo: Asus M2NPV-VM (nForce 430 chipset)
GFX: GeForce 6150 (integrated)
HDs: 2x80GB ATA (leftovers from old PC)
Case: APlus Black Media Centre Case
TV: currently a shitty 14" CRT, planning on getting an HDTV when I move out
OS: XP MCE
Laptop (newish, v. cheap, only used when I need a PC on the go):
Acer Aspire 5050
CPU: Turion64 X2 @ 1.9GHz
RAM: 3GB DDR2-800
Chipset: AMD 780G
GFX: Radeon HD 3200 (integrated)
HD: 160GB (SATA I think)
Screen: 15.4" @ 1366x768
OS: Vista, Ubuntu
Best bit: keyboard with a numeric keypad
As you can see, I go for value-for-money and energy efficiency as opposed to pure, raw power. All told, I’d say all of the above combined cost me much less than £2000, which is coincidentally how much a friend of mine spent on a new laptop recently. The mind boggles.
4 comps! just wow…
ill just rate the ur laptop and main cause I dont know much about servers and htpc machines.
Main Desktop: for its value-performance ratio it would be a 10/10, but for raw power it would be 7/10
Laptop: for a laptop those are some pretty good specs 9/10, there are plenty of laptops out now that have big massive desktop graphics cards like gtx 295 and 4870x2, but those aren’t really laptops anymore there just desktops with a folding screen.
