So a friend tells me Aldi sell PC's, and i'm like yeah shit ones, but i dunno, this looks pretty good??

Most you forums geeks :D probably remember my other thread, bout building a Monster 3D PC, within a budget, what about this one?

Could i build this PC for less? Would it be good for 3D? You think i should buy it?

Obviously no monitor, and only 512mb RAM, but you think with a bit more RAM could have a go-er?

cheers y'all

I've seen that in the paper.

It would be a rocket ship, but without a screen it's pretty high priced.

I guess you could take the add down to CPL and get them to make up something similar and probably faster for less money.

one thing... they normally get their electronics in and on sale on thursday... theyre normally sold out within half an hour of opening if ur lucky.

so if they arent already sold out... u had better hurry ur arse up and get in there :D

well dude from what i can see looks to F***** good lol.. only thing i am unsure about is that the P4processor 550. 800 MHz Front side Bus... stands for.... other than that good deal.... but dont appear to come with a monitor. :D

im building a P4 3.6 with 2GB of RAM and dual 250GB drives with a 256MB raedon with dual 19inch monitors... so far the whole thing comes to a little over 3k.

im sure if u cut down on other bits u could build an entire PC to same specs if not better for little over 2k

so i could build one cheaper??? If i could build the above cheaper, then i wouldn't worry about it... i just thought that this might one of those ones which you COULDN't build cheaper.

Also has everything i wanted. 16x DVD-RW, TV Card, Dual monitor gfx card, and really good CPU. Oh and looks like good audio too. I might give CPL a call, and see what they can do. Cos i still want a couple of monitors, and DON'T need things like fax modems, etc

cheers.

inark, why would you choose a p4 over a amd 64? especially considering 64 bit windows will be out early next year, and the p4's over 2.8ghz run hotter than hell ?

you seem to want to spend bucketloads of money, so,

if you wait about a month, you can get a nforce4 chipset socket 939 m/board that has SLI on it that can have two of those fancy video cards you want. ( you can start with one then get another later if money is a constraint )

how would dual vid cards with your nice (and expensive :)) dual 19" displays !!

eventually you could add two more 19" diplays to the mix and have 4 monitors running off your machine. !!

YOU COULD READ 4 SAU THREADS AT ONCE, FULLSCREEN :)

I'm not saying the AMD isn't a great CPU it's just at this stage there is no support for it. Yes Longhorn is set to be released "early" next year but so was the V35 GTR if you get my drift?

AMD and Intel both make very good popducts. I'm also looking for a new PC but waiting for the release of the new version of Windows.

the 64 bit windows beta that is already available will be properly released early next year afaik, this isnt longhorn, its just xp with 64bit support.

isnt longhorn still slated for 2006?

if your looking to upgrade or buy in the next 3 months and you plan on playing games at all i would recommend athlon 64's atm especially nforce 3 chipset boards, and nforce 4's if they are out when you buy.

lol 4 monitors.... then i could play flight sims with a monitor for almost each window haha

nah i'll stick to me P4... had AMDs before and they just didnt cut it for me... nicely priced but thats about all they really had going for em... its like jap vs euro where jap is AMD which is way better bang for buck but euro is always just that little better in build quality :)

chinny... go to www.msy.com.au and get a comparitive price from there... generally found them cheaper than CPL.

ok... u can build one with better parts for less but without all the gimicky crap u probably wont need...

do u need a:

-56k modem

-Wireless

-Bluetooth

-TV Tuner

-Card Reader

Motherboard

G-B 81925X-G $245

CPU

P4 3.4Ghz 800FSB $385

RAM

2 x 512MB PC3200 DDR400 $188

HDD

WD 250GB 8MB IDE $159

GFX Card

Winfast PCX6600GT DVI Express PCI $345

DVD ROMs

LG 16x DVD ROM $35

LG 16x DVD-R $92

Case

Coolermaster CAV-T01 with Silent P/S $175

Thats 1545 so far...

Just add in a decent sound card and a nice wireless keyboard and mouse and wireless network card and its about the same but with more RAM and a better GFX card and way better case.

    • Ha ha ha, that's fair mate! We have the crackhead dogs now. Mainly because the missus wants the crazy dogs while she still has the energy and capacity to be able to keep up with them! Ha ha our current two are both Working GSD, there brothers and sisters (from the same litters) are in Police, Corrective Services, and I believe one did end up in defence force too. They're wild and fun, yet right now, both curled up asleep on the lounge room floor while we watch some TV. Mal is very likely the next dog (unless I get my couch potato guardian dog 😛 )   What are your Kitties names? Are you planning some house work, like those high kitty shelves, built in scratching post, and some cat passages from one room to another room?
    • Maine Coone, did look at but to big and fluffy As for performance dogs, we had Mals at work, performance dogs are fun to watch, but, way to much work for this old rooster
    • Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.
    • You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛
    • Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
