If you were presented with the opportunity to have a 3000$ desktop pc would you want or need that much power? would you be willing to spend that much on 1 pc? or would you rather have 2 or more cheaper ones or 1 cheaper 1 and just save the money for something else? personally i love computers and i love gaming and all sorts of stuff that need power but i have yet to see a 900-1500$ pc not do what you need it to. i certainly would not spend 3000$ one shot on any pc no matter how good, but that might just be me i don't know. I've seen video cards that are almost 1000$ alone and that would account for pc's that are 3000-4000$ if they have 1-3 of those expensive video cards in sli or crossfire, but I can't see past the point that if I spend 1000$ on a video card, that could have been a whole new pc! or plenty of other possibly more important things, what do you think would would you do if you had 3000-4000$ and wanted a new pc?

I would choose 1 pc because I only use one, I have no need for two. With one good pc I can do everything and I'll have less to take care for(cleaning one pc instead of two)so having one pc that costs 3000$ is awesome.

i would defiently have to say that i would rather have the 3000 dollar one becaues honestly i have a cheaper computer now and it isn't that much good and it doesn't have the things that i really need to use it all of hte time and its vista on top of all of htat and they didn't have everything that the computer really needed and i wished i would have known what the computer needed and then i would have not gotten this one... jhl930

nope I wouldn't want it, I would take a computer half that price and buy an new tv and microwave and maybe even a digital camera with the rest.

I would just settle for a cheaper pc if I had to go buy another one. I have been through two computers so far. I paid quite a bit of money for my Dell computer and had alot of problems with it. I have a cheap Emachine right now and it works great, knock on wood. If I had $3000-$4000 and needed a new pc, I would buy a cheaper one and save the other money for something else because alot of pc's do not last long and I just need something to get me through for now because new technology comes out all of the time. They eventually need to be upgraded anyway.

I wouldn't want such an expensive computer. I have proved to many people I know, that cheaper things are sometimes just as good, if not better, than more expensive things. I only paid a little over 230$ (after taxes) for my computer, and it works beautifully. I've added parts to it myself since I've got it, and even with the added parts, it still hasn't amounted to more than 1000$, that's just crazy.
