yada

yada

All this for only $7799.99

And of course you'll want their best monitor to go with it:

92" of fragging goodness.

Most of the bits are recognizable as available, albeit expensive, hardware. (like the case, the Bitmicro HDD's, the Cenatek rocketdrive, etc)

Or for those of you who like to keep it mobile may I suggest their 3.2G P4EE powered laptop:

A steal at $5909.99

The only problem with monitors like that is the fact that very few games will span dual monitors. I know SH won't.

But for flight sims that would rock. I'd slide my chair up about a foot away from it. Cool

Actually I'd use it for watching 4 pron streams simultaineously.

I am ordering that puppy now. JK, holy shiot is right. Kick arse. You pay that much, I hope it comes w/ a self contained bubble, you sleep, eat shower, shave, number one and number two, and play, right there in front of it. Has a central heating and cooling unit w/ it too right?
