@sven - my Amish Pc is still $45k more. And you forgot a few options on you G5, there is still fibre channel, server os, bluetooth, you can max it at about $15k. Oh and in a year when your liquid cooled processor croaks, you can pay a few grand for a new one, so you should by the 3yr apple care for $250.

Hold on a sec lemme make your mouth water... :wub:

Extreme Edition 2MB L3 Cache Intel® Pentium 4 Hyper-Threading @ 3.8GHz
2GB (533MHz) DDR
ATI Radeon™ 9800 XT 256MB including VGA, DVI & S-Video connectors
1 Terabyte 7200RPM/ 8MB Buffer
High-speed 12x DVD±RW

HD's reportedly as fast as RAM

http://www.go-l.com/...tures/index.htm

Some people have reported that the link doesn't work, i'm guessing it's a dns problem as their server was also inaccessible by me a few weeks ago.

Tough I'm not seeing a price estimate, I can tell you that a year ago it was in the $20,000 range

8 GBs of RAm for a home PC is a waste, period.

For the price of a House with a Car and Truck you can own a computer that makes you look like a total wiener and a total waste of space.

if I spent $300k+ for a laptop I'd want a much bigger screen. And besides it's only 14carat white gold, what's the point 24k or nothing.

i do too, when in the world would a computer user, using xp, home, pro, MCE or even if they were useing windows vista, have 8GB worth of apps open? Its just a waste of money
