    I don't really do PC gaming any longer. Xbox and Wii these days. Sorry. Good price though.

    You probably already know this....A machine geared for gaming can be used for just about anything else. You could also use it for a Media Center system, ripping CD/DVDs, Image and video editing. Don't think a gaming PC is just for Gaming. It usually gets the tag 'Gaming PC' to infer that its capable of running higher end games, which usually requires more power (and video capabilities) than any other normal home PC use for it. The other uses I mentioned also require higher end processing.

    I agree, its a good price. Of course I am not quite sure what's left of the system And its upgradeable/modular for the most part, so you don't have to liek everything about it.

    BigAudio.. perhaps you can repost what is up for $850?

    It's a good price for the whole package, it's just hard around here to sell a whole package like that. If you truly don't want to split, then just list the whole deal on eBay and get for it what you can.

    That video card will run Crysis fine, but not on high settings (and to be fair there are only a few cards that would).

    It's actually a very solid computer, and for $850 with the monitor is a good price. The first thing you'd probably want to upgrade would be the video card, but otherwise I'd say you're good for a couple of years at least. The quad cores are becoming more popular, but I think we're at least a year or two before we start to see alot of mainstream applications optimized for 4 cores.

    It seems to run head to head with my 8800GTS Extreme, actually slightly ahead since the FX-62 is a little slower than the E6400. I think I'll transfer the raptor to my C2D machine and let this one handle server/HTPC duties with RAID-5 setup.

    How well did Vista perform for you on that machine?

    I ask because on "mere mortal" machines Vista can be kinda clunky....

    Sami, which gen GTS card do you have, is it one of the 320/640 MB ones or the newer 512? The only card from AMD that I['m aware of that will touch the speeds of the newer 8800GTS stuff is the 3870, based on benchmark scores anyway - that's why I'm asking.

    320MB GTS, slightly factory overclocked. It seems like the 8800 starts to gain ground on the extreme resolutions, but I only run 1680x1050 as that's my displays native resolution. The 2900 beats the 8800 on lower resolutions quite easily.

    Vista is fine on either machine, although not as fluid as XP.

    Yeah that makes sense, it's the newer 8800GT and GTS series that are the better cards. The 8800GTS 512 is the second machine will smoke even the 640 version of the older gts...and it's only 512.

    Sami, let me know what your impressions of the Raptor drive are, if you notice a difference at all. I've been thinking of picking one up, but at the current price it's not something I've jumped on yet.

    The newer VR150 series, the Velociraptor drives are coming out soon, they're going to start at 300 GB I think, but no idea on price yet.
