I'm the guy that many of you have been helping
out over the past week.
I'm the guy that was looking into buying a very
powerful computer to meet my business needs.

I originally stated I owned a DELL and wanted to
move away from it towards an ALIENWARE. I ended
up configuring and pricing out a very expensive
ALIENWARE system that many of you politely scolded
me for considering since I was not a gamer.
Many of you suggested if I wanted a powerful
non-gaming computer I should look into something
geared towards a business that possibly included
SCSI hard drive setup.
I am back to DELL. Why? Because I took a look at their
workstations and discovered that they offered a system
that would meet my demands.
I just priced a Dell Workstation with Dual
Xeon Processors and a SCSI hard drive. This
will give me the powerhouse performance I want.
Here is what I priced at about $4200 :
Dell Precision Workstation 670:
Intel® Xeon™ Processor 3.20GHz, 2MB L2 Cache
2nd Processor (Must match speed selection above):
Intel® Xeon™ Processor 3.20GHz, 2MB L2 cache
Operating System: Microsoft® Windows® XP Professional,
SP2 with Media
File System: NTFS File System
Intel Hyper-Threading: "ON."
Memory: 2GB, DDR2 SDRAM Memory, 400MHz, ECC (4 DIMMS)
No Keyboard Option
No Mouse Option Hard Drive Configuration
All SCSI drives, Non-RAID, for 1 or 2 drive total configuration
First Hard Drive: 300GB Ultra 320 SCSI, 1 inch (10,000 rpm)
Hard Drive Internal Controller Options:
U320 SCSI Integrated Controller - For Connecting Internal Hard Drives
CD-ROM, DVD, and Read-Write Devices:
48XCDRW AND 16XDVD+/-RW w/Sonic RecordNow! Deluxe,Sonic DVDit! SE,PowerDVD
No Floppy Drive NFD
Graphic Cards:
128MB PCIe x16 nVidia Quadro FX 1400, Dual DVI
or Dual VGA or DVI + VGA
No Monitor Option
No Speaker option
No SOund Card Option
Once again, this is a business write-off. This is the kind
of computer that I can run a dozen or more startup programs,
multi-task like mad, and burn a DVD all at the same time
without seeing a hint of slowdown.
My decision has not been made yet, but since all of you
have been so helpful to me, I thought I would parade this
before you.
Thanks!
