Ridiculously expensive PCs

[daveham]

Does anybody have any links to some top of the top of the top of the range PCs that can be bought at ridiculous prices. I am not looking for servers , just standard PCs with every component really top end.

These are the sort of things that would be sold to somebody who would pay 100% more for a processor that is 5% faster just because it is the fastest available.

...I can't afford to buy them, but l
need some links for some pricing research

There was one I remember called "Saville Row" or something like that and they did gold plated pc's or something daft like that, iirc their systems were like £5k+

Theres always alienware - or are they too cheap?

/\ now THAT is a LOT of dough.

[Zak33]

I can get some laughs from a Dell XPS I think.

A memory Upgrade from 1gig to 4 gig is gonna slow down a gaming PC, which is what an XPS is supposed to be. It'd be good for film and maybe photo editing..maybe. But no good for gaming. Either way, it cost £947 to upgrade

Now going from a 3.2 P4 to a 3.6 costs £340

I;m at £4565 with only one monitor

Told ya SavRow were pricey

I heard somewhere that they are some of the people from "the overclocking store" (which closed down a couple of yrs ago) I might be wrong there though.

SavRow PCs are very nice

Paul Dutton - who now works for HEXUS worked at Savrow as a consultant for a while.

James Smith - who used to do integration for Advance Micronics / OCS works at SavRow now - and has an exceptional PC build capabilities.

You guys may bash the price, but they are in biz - and they do build a very good system.

I doubt many people (if at all) on this forum could integrate a system as well - i.e in tidyness and reliability

[Stoo]

Anyone with any clue would source all the components and build it for a fraction of that price, but then I guess they're catering for the "with more money than sense" brigade though

a comment on a certain, above, website

advanced, fast, sub-sonic, super-sonic, sub-light, light speed, tachyon, hyperdermic, exothermic, x-ray, gamma, tuned (to what, radio 3?), F1, giga thingamy, mega that, super this, bonzo what?

brings a new meaning to sodimm

It is amusing and eye opening to see how much people are prepared to pay and that these sites/companies trade (profitably) and good luck to them too.

[myth]

Whats that site where they sell thoes super PC's... the ones that are fake... or atleast people say they are... ummm... I cant remember the info, but the PC's have like vapor coolers and claim they have advanced chips and stuff... And ram disks for hard drives...
