[link\|http://www.alienware.com/product_detail_pages/Aurora_ALX/alx_features.aspx?SysCode=PC-AURORA-ALX-R6&SubCode=SKU-DEFAULT\|Aurora ALX Desktop] I came up with: $9,958 with everything possble as far as hardware (including the physics prof^Hcessor) Then for the Big Bomb: 3 More Monitors @ $2,199 ea = $6,597 The big Disk addition, 3 x 750GB @ $450 ea = $1,350 And for an Additional 2 GB of Memory @ $500 For a total of $18,405 before any rebates (of which there is none) and before Shipping and Tax. That nets me a seriously SICK computer: 1 - Athlon64 FX62 X2 processor, 4 - 30" HDCP Monitors, 4 - nVidia GPUs (or two Dual GPU cards), 4GB of PC6400 memory, 1 - PhysX processor, 6 - 750GB disks, 2 Lightscribe Dual Layer DVD writers, 505 Watt 5.1 surround sound, WindowsXP, Alien ICE cooling and Acoustic Dampening, 700Watt Approved Power Supply and various asundered items (Including a free AlienWare MOUSE PAD, and free Alienware T-Shirt!!) Incredible. Bought 3 of them... NOT. -- [link\|mailto:greg@gregfolkert.net\|greg], [link\|http://www.iwethey.org/ed_curry\|REMEMBER ED CURRY!] @ *i_wethey* Freedom is not FREE.
