C2D pc's that expensive...

[3NZ0]

car > pc tbh.

[Mr. Popo]

Give me $10,000 and I'll build you a better one.

[gundamit]

Free t-shirt! Nice. :D

[bigdaddy25fb]

They've got me sold :D

[Shpoon]

De'javu anyone? They had this before with an AMD FX-60, and the first couple comments were "I can build this better for $10K" "I'd buy a car instead" "Yay! Free t-shirt!"

It's too hard to make up new one's.

[Verisimilitude]

I'd spend 22k for a free t-shirt anyday!

[Stuperman]

what the hell is a "supercharged intercooler"? I know what an intercooled supercharger is, on a car but on a PC...

Let me make a new one ^^

I can buy myself a nice car a good computer loads of t-shirts and stil have money for ice cream :D

[Starscream]

1 Year Voodoo Desktop Warranty Policy for 22k ?
ugly case tbh

i think we should hunt the people down that buy this pc and beat them to death to save humanity.

[M.Beier]

.... I must be blind, I cant find a link?

[LOE]

this thing is ugly and stupid

[viper650]

lol, thats no more then 9k TOPS. the tv is what is most of the price anyways. id tip it over in teh store and run :D

[Cobalt]

Only an extreme music? I'd expect the fatility fps at least. They are probably making like $10k profit on that thing.

Perkam

[Verisimilitude]

Give me $5,000 for a better one.

Perkam

Will you throw in a free t-shirt?

[metachronos]

Isn't the case made out of gold or something? That's why it's so pricey.

What kind of fuel economy does this thing get?

[Johnny Bravo]

46" Samsung Syncmaster 8ms Gaming LCD

Might have somehting to do with it. 46" !!! how far away would you have to sit just to be able to see the full screen when your gaming!

OTT tbh :nono:

[couppi]

Whoops, double post

[nn_step]

Give me $5,000 for a better one.

Perkam
Hell spend $1,000 and overclock it and you can have a better one.
Or more realistically spend $10,000 have Quad 880, killer raid50 and a Free steak dinner

[Movieman]

Give me $10,000 and I'll build you a better one.
Agreed, and with a Kentsfield instead of the conroe and I'll be VERY happy with the profit from the job!:D
The crazy part is someone will actually buy that..

[M.Beier]

... I still dont see any link?

Without sources it doesnt make much sence, does it?

[Weee]

http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/ZDM/story?id=2247382

mentions a $15k price tag

[Got Chow]

I bought a Voodoo PC, but used, for $2k (and it was only 3 months old). I highly doubt they sell many of those. It's a real gold case, most probably just plated, but IMO, the gold case is ugly. Brushed aluminum is much nicer. :)

[[XC] hipno650]

the whole elemental line is plated with 24k gold. thats whys it so expensive:fact: but i would rather have the thermaltake armor over that thing.
but the free t-shirt evens it out. mabye i will get one just for the conroe and the t-shirt and junk the rest:D :D :D :D

[Got Chow]

I think Voodoo does make nice PCs, albeit way expensive... The wiring job they had done on my PC really was quite impressive. And on my laptop they put on a custom graphic that I sent into them. The laptop was painted the base color, the graphic applied on printed vinyl, and then the whole thing clearcoated...

I don't think anybody here disagrees with the fact you can build a WAY faster computer for a small fraction of the price... Sometimes it is hard to replicate all the little details that Voodoo puts into the PCs.

I dunno if I'd ever buy a new Voodoo directly from them again, but I would probably pick up another used one, gut the damn thing, and put my own parts in there.

[cMw]

seriously ill take that 22k and the 6k i got in the bank and buy me a new evo from mitsubishi

that will please me for years to come, this thing will be outdated in a year or so

but seriously u could get it much cheaper if u only spent less than 10k im sure...


BUT HEY who doesn't like a free t shirt :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[m0da]

do y'all not understand the perfection of this system??
Complimentary 1st Class Worldwide Shipping!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BUY IT NOW!!!

aha jk that's pretty funny.

[lookmomnobrains]

Give me $5,000 for a better one.

Perkam

does that include a 46" Samsung Syncmaster 8ms Gaming LCD or something the same size? I think not.. lol

[JuanFlaiter]

Don´t you understand, it´s made by world famous - dailytech blogger - rahul sood.

[syne_24]

The only people buying this are movie star, music artists, athletes, and so on. I dont think none of us would have the right mind to get sucker in like that. I agree car > pc :)

[generics_user]

hmmm that´s more money than all my 8 rigs i had did cost together:D :woot:

EDIT: our family car did cost the same as this :banana::banana::banana::banana: and we had much more fun with it than we ever had with our PC´s :P

[NapalmV5]

It's too hard to make up new one's.

well, heres a new 1.. no areca raid cards included in the 22K$?!?.. bastages!! :)

[Got Chow]

[PkG.1337]

2 firegl on a nv board?
Ageia PhysX Card? play GRAW on a firegl and idle the other one, lol
kinda sad for 30k

[rrogan]

you would think they would put some SCSI drives in there if they wanted it to be more expensive

[5-Clicks]

It's been confirmed by Voodoo!

We here are Voodoo Computers are proud to display to you the new Elementals OMEN...the one and only PC that costs us nothing to build, $8000 to order, and $12000 to ship to you. Plus, you even get your very own FREE copy of Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter. That's a $50 value that's yours for free!

Haha. Just kidding.

Give me ten grand and I'll take 9,999.75 of that and build a better PC. The rest will cover the T-shirt. Sorry, local pickups only :D

[FragTek]

$22k and it comes with a 600w modular PSU that would probably burst in to flames after about 30 seconds of operation??? LOL I mean c'mon, we are talking about a power hungry system running crossfire, watercooling, 4 x hd's, etc. etc... Back to the drawing board.

600W is enough for that system, unless you overclock...

[Kobalt]

Yea but its modular and modular sucks.

[cky2k6]

not really...

[perkam]

does that include a 46" Samsung Syncmaster 8ms Gaming LCD or something the same size? I think not.. lolThe purpose of a high end rig isn't to have as a casual gamer on a 46" tele...its to break records...most of the stuff on the comp is excessive, so had you asked me to give it tons of peripherals...I would have said no. But here's one with a 32" Samsung LCD and other goodies:

I made the statement about $5,000 Rig...hence the above. The one with a comparable 46" 8MS LCD and all the other crap stuff you'll never need will still cost you nder $10,000.

Perkam

[Kobalt]

You need a storage hard drive though...

[zabomb4163]

think rolex...

Give me $10,000 and I'll build you a better one.


Agreed.

:party::party::party::party:

loL !!L OL haha

anyway, i think voodoo pc should die ... they sucked up too much conroes. dman those OEM

[Mortal]

Holy expensive case batman! :eek:

I remember seeing the Athlon FX version of this case in PC Powerplay a while ago and wondering what the deal was with the monstrosity they dubbed a case. Boy was I shocked when I read the article. Talk about over the top. :rolleyes:

[FragTek]

600W is enough for that system, unless you overclock...
Ehhhh, no... That's pushing that psu to it's very limit, I'd be scared to run it 24/7 with that POS in it.

[shimq1]

Ehhhh, no... That's pushing that psu to it's very limit, I'd be scared to run it 24/7 with that POS in it.
If you don't overclock, that system'll run fine on a 600W PSU.

[perkam]

I'm going to start removing this bs over viability of the psu. I could care less if its the best 600W psu around...a 750W psu costs less than $200..not too hard for a 22k machine...

"But its enough for the machine, though"

You don't buy a 22k pc to get "enough"...if that was the case they'd have a 7600GT in it.

Perkam

[TyroPyro]

That looks like something you'd see on MTV Cribs. And laugh at

[zakelwe]

think rolex...

I think this just about sums it up. I doubt very many people buy Rolex watches or similar just so they can tell the time .. I think they buy it because of the feel good factor and the statement.

In regards to the actual PC here I would imagine it is a good peice of equipment but with DX10 cards about to make an appearance in a few months time I think anyone buying this now would have to have been living in a cave for a good time. Maybe they do though, maybe this is for people who just see it in exclusive magazines and must have it. They won't even know the difference between DX9 and 10 when it arrives nor care. It would be pretty interesting to see the buyer demographics for these systems.

I'm not sure about the gold though .. does anybody do carbon fibre panels over aluminium chassis? .. that might be quite nice to put your own stuff into.

Regards

Andy

Spend 4x less, overclock it and pown that golden :banana::banana::banana::banana: :p: That is the beauty of oc :)
