The system comes shipped with the (4) 250GB drives Configured in a RAID 0 format (1) 1 Terabyte Drive, and the (2) 74GB "Raptors" also configured into a Raid 0 single drive. I have pre-installed Windows XP professional, and all drivers are installed and included. The system will be shipped in four separate boxes, (each monitor shipped in original box, system shipped in the original case packaging, and the speakers shipped in original box and packaging). Buyer to pay $100.00 flat fee for shipping (includes insurance). If the buyer wishes to ship overnight, and pay the difference, I don't have a problem. If the shipping is less I will refund the difference via paypal. If the buyer has a shipping account and would like to use that, no problem. Items will be shipped as new, with all of my orignal receipts included, so that you may utilize all warranty offers from each company.

I paid just over $5200.00 for everything. I have set my reserve to $4500. If you add up the retail value for everything, I think you will realize that I got an incredible bargain, and $4500 is a very good deal for a system that will make all your friends drool. I will accept only PAYPAL or money orders or cashiers checks. Buyer must be in the United States, and be verified to use paypal. I will only ship to CONFIRMED paypal addresses. Let me know if you have any questions

It's good for gaming, good as a storage server, good for video and audio editing...the possibilities are endless!

Despite it's beastiness, you will find that this system is not unique. I have a system similar to this configuration, as do many of my friends. It just allows you to do so much more!

think about this: all the hardware you have, i mean top notch hardware, you have to update the drivers more frequently and the you have to spend much more time than i do just to keep your computer running
thats why i am using just a standart computer
