Wahoo P4 Stratagem System Review

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the test-driving dept.

Ian Bell writes "Buddhacon reviews the P4 stratagem system from Wahoo Computers. Could this be the most powerful home system on the market? With just about every option available including an overclocked Intel 2.9GHz CPU, Radeon 9700PRO, 1GB of memory and all the cooling features you can think of you would think a system like this would blow the competition away. Just goes to show that sometimes a fine tuned V6 can beat an over the top V8."

    Does anyone else think this sounds like Latin crossed with web-dotcom-buzzwords?

  3. Heat to cost radio by cdf12345 · · Score: 5, Funny

    but then I have to calculate the cost of savings by going with AMD, vs a P4 and divide that into the supposed heat savings, and I'll probably end up not giving a damn by the end of the calculations....

    Yeah, they should just build that instead of doing these incremental speed increases.

    the reason I would buy the thing is because my penis is small. That machine will make others believe otherwise. Plus it has an AWESOME DVD burner, in blue no less!

    The extra $3000 for each box sold is to make up for the loss in recovering meltdowned servers as a result of slashdot effect.

    That cost you to attempt to advertise in Slashdot. :)

    You mean you can get people to pay an extra $2000 for a computer just by painting the case *blue*?
