October 20, 200420 yr Author Actually including the two samsung 19" lcd screens I am to total of around $4k, but that is also including a good bti of software so i have a legit copy or two of all the pirated chit I have laying around the house. I will get some pics up once all of my parts are in and I have it built up.George, yup a few expecially expensive components in there. Hell the memory alone s setting me back around $550 and the processor is around $800, but it will be worth it once it is all set up and I have a system that is my own, as opposed to the pre-built systems I own already.
