only the most important icons make it to my desktop. The lesser beings exist in my quicklaunch bar.

A bit more messy then I would like but that is my setup. Yes that is also a Falcon Computer, and I am very proud of as it was expensive as S**t. Love Star Wars too, as you can tell from Vader sitting on top of my PC.

Holy shit. Just checked the website, those things are freaking expensive and buttcrack ugly! I can do a far better, and cheaper job building my own custom pc...

Orly? Well I would like to see this, "better PC".

I'm not a fan of the case, but what are the specs?

[Epifire]

Manufacturer: Falcon Northwest
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2600K CPU @ 3.40GHz (8 CPUs), ~3.4GHz
Memory: 8 Gbs RAM
Hard Drive: 64 GB SSD (for OS and apps)/ 1 Tb subsidiary SATA (for everything else)
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580
Sound Card: Speakers (Creative SB X-Fi)
Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit (6.1, Build 7601) Service Pack 1 (7601.win7sp1_gdr.110622-1506)
Motherboard: Asus P8 P67 Deluxe
Computer Case: Talon 3.0 Chassis

Btw I was saving money with that case. I could have had it custom painted with anything I wanted if I wished to spend more money. I don't mind the case, it is simple, and it works. The door on the front also adds as a bit of a filter for a lot of dust as I have found out. Stays cool and runs real quite as well. I get Battlefield 3 on max settings around 45-47 frames (not bad for half the recommended gpu) per second. So I am happy with it.

Any prebuilt has the price jacked way up

They are more competitively priced then you may think.

How much did you pay

How much did you pay

$2,916.76

That also includes liquid cooling on the CPU, as well as a 24" 1080p monitor. As well as a binder with a complete set of extra cables, (for maybe added expansion) backup/recovery USB drive, along with a full version of Windows 7. Oh that and a one year warranty for parts/service. Technical support is always available as long as you own one of their systems (they have great phone support too).

Bottom line is they are a solid company that has lasting quality, and I am not just saying it, the other reviews can tell you the same thing. I would have payed the same thing again for one.

I'll be getting this (or similar) over the next few months.
Just need to check if I can find the parts any cheaper elsewhere.
Note that I just bought a 23" 1920x1080 monitor about a month ago, so it's not on the list



£983 ($1563) in total.

[Epifire]

Not to bad although the gpu could be higher. Still though that is a great starting price.

[Hollow]

Yeah an i7 isn't necessary for gaming tbh (not yet anyway), only good for things like huge file rendering.
If I needed a monitor and Windows 7 it would only be about £200 more.

It's also pretty cheap as I'm building it myself!

I may uprade the GPU, but I'm not after extreme performance. Same deal with the case, I don't fancy the huge flashy beast towers. I just like clean and simple
