That setup is awesome! I would love to get my hands on something like that Although if I had the money I would probably buy my own server and have a mini "datacenter" in my house

I haven't bought it...

How is it a rip off anyway? Ah I guess you've been on PC systems all your life and think power is all about ghz ratings.

not all but if you shop around you would get a much set up than that for a lower cost and ofcourse PC Systems are ALWAYS more powerfull and alot more cost effective but i guess in the end you pay for what you want/need. . . .
