Only when I'm comparing sites.

[slytherock]

I do :redface:

Try this one, money limit: 50 000$ ;)

[Luke122]

I do that all the time. I used to go to Voodoo and Alienware and build outrageous things, just to dream. $20k+ machines were always common for me on the voodoo "dream maker". haha

I could build 10-15 of the best rigs on that budget...or buy a new Corvette.....Ah hell, Corvette wins. :D

[Luke122]

I dunno about the corvette.. you could get an Ariel atom for that price, and keep up with Enzos... :D

i do alienware all the time as well except it gets boring when u always r customizing with new components though personally i could probably build the same machine that i maxed out in ailenware for about 3/4 less $

[armadilloben]

on newegg i built an 8 core opteron w/ 4 nvidia quadros and 64 gigs of ram and like 24 15000 rpm scsi drives it was nuts it would have cost me like 100,000 lol

[Durrthock]

I configure computers on websites all the time like dell gateway alienware and ibuypower

[simon275]

I do but on Australian sites or I go on dell and make $15,000 dell gaming PC's. I think it is a useful exersize as it allows you to gauge pricing of parts in the computer market. Mostly I make normal PC's though not gold plated ones.

[jaxspades]

I do that all too often--and then I save my findings into Word documents....hahaaha.....I always say...someday, when I have the money......
I don't think I ever will though.

[.Maleficus.]

I like doing it with Macs. Like the Mac Pro. It's ridiculous.

[blue73]

Yeah, Me too. Though I used to do a similar thing years ago with autotrader. Choose a price point and a car You fancied and see how far you could go. Do You all realise its "window shopping" for blokes...:p .
I think everyone should try Alienware and choose the best of every option. You'de **** Yer pant if that turned up on Yer credit card bill jeeesh!!

Or you can get a F-250, winch, 38 inch tires, brush guard, light bar, 4 inch lift, BANKS power kit, and a veggie oil conversion package with a heated tank. Then you can drive over those enzos while smelling like french fries and using barely any diesel.
