Only two problems as I see it they are as follows....

VISTA
Office 2007

Change those for XP PRO and Office 2003 and I would be very happy

30K and only 1 video card? That defeats the purpose of the 780i chipset. It supports 3-way SLI. Also, no mention of liquid cooling. I can
build a much better pc for a quarter of the price. If I won this, it will be torn apart and rebuilt, useless parts sold, and extra cash used
for beer and women.

With all the HDD in that thing, I guess you could add it. coastie65

Wish the world wide web included somewhere else than North America. You guys are pathetic. Lots of things travel internationally. I'll have to start typing "USA" instead of "WWW". Obviously we all should have left hand drive computers,(read "cars") to travel the information super highway!

Hi tografer, (off topic) It so happens I am a member of several International sites and there are plenty out there. This was also not the thread to voice your concerns. It should have been in the General topics. coastie65

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't that case have a full water cooling system built in?

Have to agree on missing the tri-sli setup though...

If you don't like the components of this computer, don't enter the contest.



Hi LarryE. That is not necessarily true. Personally, I think this Dream PC could have been much better; however, I have entered the contest. As you said, if I am lucky (and blessed) enough to win this contest, I will be happy to accept the computer.

I am sure I am not alone when I say this but have you ever heard the phrase, "The sum of the parts is greater than the whole."? Even though I just finished my own personal "Dream PC," I would be more than happy to install some of the compatible components in my system. Shoot, I even have a connection for a fourth monitor.

A Fourth Monitor ? It would seem you could do a pretty effective job of policing us folks here with the three you have. :^0 coastie

:-) Oh believe me, these multiple monitors get a full workout. Between Need for Speed and DVD movies, the 40" monitor is now the focal point of the computer. The other two 30" monitors are great when we want to do many things at once.

LOL Hi SwatJester. You may have to wait a while. I have a bunch of friends and family members who already want to fight for them. LOL However, let me tell you, the misses loves this setup as much as I do. :D

:^0 This contest certainly has generated some interesting responses!!!!!!!!!

To whoever wins, {and if you are Canadian, I'll help you with the math-quiz, LOL}, I'll be more than happy to take your old system off your hands. Heck, I'll pay for shipping costs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Excuse this post if you've already answered my query, but why are Canadians asked to take a test???????? Just really curious about that stipulation.

Hi macmind --

We don't have a photo of it yet, but hope to have one soon. The case is sitting right here in my office. It's red and acid green with some blue and orange.
