I'm going to get an Alinware Aurora desktop, so here are some things it has.

1. 4 TB hard drive capacity.

2. An AMD Phenom II X4 925 processor.

3. NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GX2 dual GPU graphics card.

4. Dual ATI CrossFire, and something about 50% performance increase by syncing to cards together to perform as one.

5. Blu-ray.

EDIT: Oops, put it into the wrong forum.

What about the ram? If that's good then you should definitely give it to me get it.

I'll update about the RAM in a sec.

EDIT: Couldn't find out anything about the RAM, but I heard that can actually play Crysis smoothly, that tells you something.

Wait, uh, it has Nvidia and ATI cards?

Looks pretty good for it's price. Although computers cost like twice as much in Finland than they do in the USA and my information is a bit outdated. The only thing I'd change is the GPU. A single HD 4870 is more stabile and cheaper and performs better in some games.
Edit: I'd guess the two GPUs mean you can pick one. Dunno.

Well it is a computer made for PC games, that way you can play it as if it were an Xbox 360 or the PS3.

Same reaction I had, I just assumed it was something new computers were doing that I didn't know about.

I don't think crossfire is compatible with nvidia cards, IIRC they have something similar but with a different name.

ok well how about you post a link to this computer because I'm thinking everything on this build must be garbage-quality

Either your harddrives are garbage-quality, or your RAM is garbage quality.

You realise that the $800 has lesser functions compared to the badass setup you've mentioned which would cost about $2-3000...?
