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$. Not too shabby. As for how to build a system that cheap, well, you have years of experience building computers - you go figure that out. |
My PS3 can play Crysis style games. Can your 500$ computer play them? |
That's incredible that your PS3 can play games that aren't even available yet. I was wrong - I simply cannot argue against logic like that. The PS3 truly is future-proof! Let me ask you this: Can your PS3 multitask like my 500$ PC can (check my previous post to see what kind of apps I run on a daily basis) ? Oh, and my 2-year-old PC that was worth 500$... two years ago? I wonder how much something like that would cost today new... |
Well, what can your PC do a PS3 cant do? |
Typical workday: multitask Photoshop CS2 (several 100+ layered files@1024x768), Firefox with 15 tabs open, Dreamweaver, Illustrator (print-quality files), Office (Word and Powerpoint) and Lotus Notes all on at the same time...
Oh, and listening to music, chatting with Skype, Yahoo, MSN, and so onn and so forth. These are all applications I have on the whole time (among others that get turned on and off, but the aforementioned apps I keep running all day because of my job nature).
