5 grand for AMD Athlon 64 FX-53+ Processor with HyperTransport Technology ATI RADEON X800 XT Platinum Edition 256MB DDR3 w/DVI and TV Out 1GB Corsair XMS Dual Channel PC-4400 DDR SDRAM at up to 550MHz 148GB (74GB x 2) Western Digital Raptor™ 10,000 RPM - RAID 0 Creative Sound Blaster® Audigy 2 ZS High Definition 7.1 Surround is absurd, me thinks. even if it does come overclocked out of a fancy box with a bit more than bells and whistles. |

i never liked alienware... too gawdy. i prefer a nice grey on black box that sits on my desktop, not a huge oversized bright green alien head with glowing eyes or whatever! personally i've always liked falcon northwest for their custom case designs. they make pretty powerful machines (nothing ultra great super gaming cutting edge, but i'm sure you could easily rack up $5k on their site!) and the extotix cases are pimptight http://www.falcon-nw.com |

Is this the one with the dual-PCIe graphics load-balancing? |

I just other motherboard manufacturers follow suit and design boards with several 16x PCIe slots. I was always pissed off that they didn’t make motherboards with multiple AGP slots. That would have made it so much easier to do a multi-monitor setup with full 3D acceleration. |

The reason they don't make motherboards with multiple AGP slots is that they can not because of the nature of the interface. Yikes. 5 Grand for a computer. Way overpriced. You can build 8 great gaming machines for that price. |

Yeah, I know it's an architectural limitation, but it would have been cool :) |
