Lookinh for a really top notch, multiscreen very fast computer. Who do I contact?

Top Notch huh? Here you go:

Processor, Intel Quad Core: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115011

RAM, at least 2gb, something in the 800-1000 mhz, and name brand, like OCZ http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227087

Video Card, 8800GTX: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121033

Sound card, X-Fi http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16829102005

You didn't mention motherboard but I'd say something like a Intel Bad Axe 2, you'll need a good power supply too, I like Silverstone. And get a decent heat sink for the processor that you know will fit.

2x20" will do fine, heck I'd maybe go for two 22". For reduced choppiness you want a lower response time, look for 5ms or lower, I think you can get as low as 2ms these days. LCD TVs are usually up around 8 ms. Obviously a CRT monitor doesn't have this problem since the ms is well below 1 ms.

 

Dell, alienware, or voodoo pc is your best bet for a high spec machine prebuilt.

 

Yes you can get prebuilt, it will cost you more but you can go that route. Something like a DELL XPS 710, http://www.dell.com/content/products/productdetails.aspx/xpsdt_710?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs
Just search around on their sites to see what would be best. Just be a little careful though because sometimes they will skimp on certain parts, kinda like on cars where the engine can be good, but the interior is junky (Evo, Vette)

 

Any chance you'd buy a mac?

 

Next time you give away a mac, PLEASE PM ME FIRST

They can, there's this program called "flip 4 mac" that I used to use to play WMV's on my G5.

The reason I ask is because you can get a decent mac that'll fulfill your needs quite easily, where with a Windows system it's gonna be a nightmare, especially with things like that.

Get a Dual 2.5 Ghz G5 with 3GB ram at least and you're set. Some of them come with dual monitor video cards. As for the sound card I'm not really sure, never had to deal with sound cards in a mac as I used recording studio equipment.

 

http://www.xoticpc.com is another site to check out like for prebuilt

 

That made my day. Laughing my head off.

 

www.alienware.com - voodoo was more $'s for what was available, Dell XPS had a lot less high-end options (Dell owns Alienware now).

But $5k for a killer machine is always a bit of a pause.

 

Arrrrrrgh

How long can you wait?
Intel quad core QX6600 i think prices will drop to 266$/chip
AMD's Barcelona's are almost out.

Mac Pro's are so *hardcore*

If you are going to drop big bucks -- Mac Pro + ADC Discount = 20% off after you pay 99$ for the subscription. Works out nicely in the end. Get 2 30" display's while you're at it. = omg sweet.

 

XP Home might have processor limitations. Can XP home do unlimited cores / processors?
I know Win2k vs Win2k server has core/processor issues.

 

If you are very price concious -- build your own box btw.
You'll save thousands.
But tech support ... arrrrgh. Are you knowledgable about computers?

 

Make you own, not only will be quicker than having to wait for an order one, it will be cheaper and it will run much faster. If you want a really high spec computer you will end up spending thousand. I spent 7k on my current computer from dell, it was a huge waste of money.

VERY IMPORTANT!!!--- Make sure you use scsi hard drives. At least 10k rpm's, if you don't having all that extra power wont matter. If you don't mind spending lots of money and want the best possible performance go for "cheetah" drives, they run at 15k rpm's.
