Stop being a bunch of Mac tools. Its just a friggin' machine. Its NOT a lifestyle. Stop drinking the Steve Jobs kool-aid. I am by no means knocking Mac/Apple products, its great stuff. But to have such a dedication to inanimate objects, or to a company is a bit off.
- The only who is sounding like they have drunk any kool-aid here is you, my friend.MrOneHundred
- Really? I said Mac products are good, and didn't mention PCs or alternatives in particular. Care to re-read?ETM
- No thanks. Nobody said anything about having dedication to anything except you.MrOneHundred
- You're funny. I made no such declaration FOR anything. I just said a computer is not a lifestyle. Thanks for coming out.ETM
- One or two people mention they would prefer a Mac and you get yourself in a tizz...MrOneHundred
- ...dial it down a notch, dude.MrOneHundred
- Anyways... more important things happening in the world tonight. Go Obama... please be more than hype.ETM
- I’m with you on that one!MrOneHundred

Big whoop. A Q6600.. thats not like.... a year old...
Still, nice specs but this is the UK and I can't buy it anyway :P
- BuddhaHat0
It's only a decent system, not out of this world, same goes for the pricing. The Q6600 is the bottom end of the quad-core range of CPUs, so it's good but not great, the graphics card isn't bad, but there's a much better ATI out that doesn't cost much more at all.
HP is a good PC brand though, I'd consider taking it with XP 64-bit instead of Vista...

Ok, if you're willing to pay an extra 2k over a computer with same specs, you're a geek. News flash:
IT'S ONLY A COMPUTER
Unless you make 6 digits or a freelancer that can write it off, which I doubt most of you guys do, then I wouldn't shell out the extra money, and spend it on high end call girls like Spitzer.
