| Kwaad said: I've been building computers for years. I will tell you this much, that you can not build a computer to rival the PS3 graphically for 500$. (mumbo-jumbo) Now you wanna show me how you build a system that can do what the PS3/360 can for 400-600$ Be my guest. |
Wow - for years! I thought I was the only one...
Two things I do know for sure:
- A 500$ computer will allow me to be far more productive than I ever will be on a PS3 with its Linux and limited RAM for my non-gaming tasks (and before you say anything, the PS3 is not just a game machine - we both can agree on that, right? I mean, with the CELL processor being 10x faster than the average PC and all that...)
- A 500$ computer will allow me to play any game released for the PC that came out this year. Actually, my 2-year-old computer still handles Doom3 at 720p with aplomb at high settings, and manages 20fps on ultra settings. Being 2 years old, I reckon it costs much less than 500$. Not too shabby.
As for how to build a system that cheap, well, you have years of experience building computers - you go figure that out.
