OH MY GOD! /hero!!!!!
I am in love....
with the pc's of corse
What did that run you for one set up? and specz?
There are a few changes, but this should be CLOSE to current specs:
http://dual-boxing.com/wiki/index.ph...:Vyndree#Specs
Intel Core2Duo 2.66 Ghz
2GB RAM
NVidia 7600 GS
(Suvega's 4 "alt" PCs are the same specs as VyndreeA-C with a different case)

We haven't updated any of the "alt" pcs since we bought them -- we invested in Core2Duos knowing that we didn't want to have to crack open those cases again anytime soon. Funny note -- of the 7 NVidia 7600 GS's we bought, every single one died within a month of each other and had to be RMA'ed to NVidia. Literally, every week we'd have a new gcard to mail out. It was about a year after purchase -- from what I understand there was a defect that would show up after a certain amount of use. It was just funny to wake up each morning, cross your fingers, and see which computer failed to post. At least it happened before Wrath hit. We have a couple spare gcards on hand in case we ever have to do that again.

I replaced "Spike" (my old main PC) with a quad core recently. Spike's Mobo decided to kick the bucket and he's always been a PITA, so I retired him to the parts box.

The intial purchasing price for 7 computers and 8 monitors (plus monitor mounts) was about $8k. That's the pictures. We already had Suvega's 30" apple cinema display and I had a spare 19" wide monitor and I had "Cujo", which was a shuttle PC I decided to keep since it was already a dual-core.

Later, I replaced one of my dying 19" widescreens (started to fade) and Suvega got a higher end quad-core PC, and after seeing his quad core I caved and got one for myself. It was a bit over 2k for each of the quad cores.
This is what XFire gleaned from my quad-core system (Suvega has the double version of the gcard -- I'm less of a gcard freak)
Manufacturer: NVIDIA
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Extreme CPU X9650 @ 3.00GHz (4 CPUs), ~3.0GHz
Memory: 4094MB RAM
Hard Drive: 300 GB
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GTX
Monitor: Generic PnP Monitor
Sound Card: Plantronics Audio 650 USB
Speakers/Headphones: Plantronics Audio 650 USB
Keyboard: Microsoft Razer Reclusa
Mouse: Microsoft Natural Wireless Laser Mouse 6000
Operating System: Windows Vista™ Ultimate

So, in total... $8k + $2k + $2k + existing 30" apple cinema + existing shuttle PC...


Then, if you want to count our networking stuff, keyboards, OS, XKeys, multiplexers, all those little bits and pieces, it's a few hundred more -- prolly at least another $1k.
