Hey guys what do you think of the computer I just configured (in my sig)? It'll be assembled fairly soon. Within a couple weeks.

What do you think I could pull Benchmarking it @ stock and then overclocked?

Very nice rig though. :)

If you say so. I decided not to do it myself a long time ago. I did the math as well. I live in California. You have to account for the taxes. etc.

Ok...that makes more sense. What's it, like 8% tax? I guess the warranty etc. count for something also. I've always built my own rig so i'm certainly biased towards doing it that way ;).

8.25% in Los Angeles. I work too much to be able to fix something myself so an onsite service warranty is important to me as well.

I would guess a little over 17K stock and 19K or more overclocked if you are using 3D Mark 2001 SE.

My first rig was a PI 150MHz IBM Aptiva with a kick a$$ HP Deskjet 600 and 3 year warranty for a fat $3500.

I bought a P200mmx rig for about 3.5K also. That was way back in the day though...it had all the goodies. Computer prices have gone down a lot in the last 10 years, especially if you factor in inflation. That 3.5K rig would be like $4500 today (estimation based on 3% inflation over 10 years).
