      If something is so important that you feel the need to post it on the internet... It probably isn't that important.

      Your overclocked Commodore 64 can't beat my overclocked CoCo3.

    And the fact that they put two optical BD burners on the extreme one (one on each page) makes me think that this article was slapped together instead of fully investigated. Where's the benchmarks? The proof that you built a good machine?

    Looks like a buncha kids opened up newegg and built themselves machines in their head...

    Why the hell would you want to benchmark one of those beauties? It's like a wife. Your supposed to spend money on it, care for it and look but not touch.

    In 1 years time, it will be worth 40% of what they paid for it. That's an investement, isn't it? Heck, it's not even a bad investement these days.

    Perhaps their belief that it's "investing" is an indication of why we're currently in the middle of an economic crisis.

    When they talk about hot computers, they are referring to your gpu/cpu temperature of course.

    See, we live in an analog world which has essentially infinite FPS.

    The Planck time allows for only around 1.86x10^43 fps, which is nowhere even close to infinity.

    Seriously, I'm honestly curious. I'm a huge PC gamer and I run Vista 64-bit.

    No offence, but maybe a Wii Fit would be a good investment, then? I'm just sayin...
