'Ello, FacePunch!
Just this morning, I drove over to Fry's Electronics to see what they had. This HP FireBird really caught my eye, so I got it. The specs:
Dual 9800 GT's. SLI ready.
Liquid cooling.
Windows Vista Home Premium 64 Bit
8GB of RAM.
Intel Core 2 Quad CPU Q9400 @ 2.66GHz (4 CPUs), ~ 2.7GHz
Acer 23" LCD Monitor. Max Resolution: 1920 x 1080.
3 Year warranty.
I got that all brand new for $948.00.
Testing to see what games I can max out. :D
Could have done better for the price, but it seems like a nice computer.
It is... I can run L4D totally maxed out, 16xQ AA, all that shit at 60-80 FPS
Actually, it's a horrid deal.
The 9800GTs aren't 9800GTs, they're 9800S's, or the laptop equivalent of 9600GTs. 9600GT SLI performs on par with say, a GTX 260.
Good fucking luck upgrading that PC in a year when you want more power.
Wow that is a pretty good deal for a prebuilt.
Oh fuck me I just realized it has laptop guts.

What? It isn't a laptop. It's a desktop.
D: I am probably wrong. Just a little confused. But it IS a desktop.
Also, wtf. It says 9800 GT on the DxDiag window.
With laptop guts.
Atleast the monitor is nice. :downs:
Also, enjoy your 5400 RPM HardDrives.
HP Love to do that to people.

It's the tranny of computers
Oh fuck.
D:
I'll post pics as soon as I find my camera...
It retails for $1650 USD without a monitor.
Not at the Fry's Electronics over here in Indiana. :D
Really?
Even Worst [B]BEST[/B] Buy has the starting model for $1,000.
No.
Well, it is still a pretty nice PC. It can run FarCry 2 totally maxed out at 50-70 FPS.
Crysis will probably destroy my computer, though. :O

thats why I use a 1440x900 monitor
You could have done better.

I agree, but it still preforms well. I am... Sort of glad I chose this computer.
It's a decent enough deal, I suppose.
it's a recert
Yeah, that makes sense. That's the only way they'd be selling it for $200 off.
It has 9800S graphics cards.
