What's the Best Gaming PC under $150,000??

ive looked at velocity micro, Dell, and Alienware.....oh yeah and p.s. are there any other big companies to know about?

i didnt know that gaming PC's could cost anywhere near $150,000....:shock:m_j_skin

Either that $150,000 was a typo, or he wants to build a LAN center. :shock:

On topic, I suggest the TC (Topic Creator) to build your own PC. Trust me, its costs a lot less than buying a brand market one. But if you don't want to, I suggest getting a PC from Alienware, even though their pc's are overpriced, they are top-quality.

The best option is to always build your own, but if you can't there is Vigor PC's. They are an alright company for gaming PC's.

The best thing to do though is learn and build. It is much much cheaper and you will end up with a computer that you wanted not something a company built for you.

Is that a joke or he intends to build a skynet computer or a matrix virtual reality simulation and bring doom to human kind?? It's scary that anyone spends so much money on a computer! pilouuuu2004

Matrix? Omg that would be an AWESOME computer.

$150,000?

building a gaming PC requires at least $1,000,000....and thats just running games on minimum.

with 150,000$ i would start my own gaming company

best gaming PC cost about 6,000$

if you want to buy a gaming PC prebuilt look at MainGear. They have amazing build quality that is leaps and bounds ahead of other companies like Velocity Micro, and Vigor.

Maybe he meant peso's?marc5477

150,000 I dout you could spend that much on a PC unless you guild everthing with Platinum, Gold & Diamonds?

IMO $1000 - $3000 is more than enough in most cases, Othwerwise Voodoo PC's cost a whack!

Hope not, in that case go buy yourself a three soft tacos from Taco Bell ;D

care to share the specs?

Nah you can if you wanted to make up a $7,000 computer pretty easy, For Eg.
-2x 8800 Ultras 768 mb (SLI)

-Intel Quad 2.93 GHz Extreme

-DDR3 ram (At 1333 MHz) 4 GB

So it wouldn't be hard to hit over $7k especially if you want a new monitor as well. But $150,000 No way you can hit that unless you want a super computer.

i say for sure too avoid alienware. their PCs arent all that great in the quality department. i bought one about a year and a half ago now (in the $4,000 range)and spent the first 6 months i owned it looking at the tower wondering what it would be like to use it since the optical drives didnt work right out of the box.

the 'on sight' tech 'support' you get doest tell you in advance that the techs dont actualy diagnose a problem they only show up to do hardware replacments that the phonetech support guys say you need. i spent well over 40+ hrs on the phone with some guy from india or something ( a good 10 hrs of the conversation was "can you repeat that again in english this time')and had a new Optical drive sent twice, along with the same WRONG data cable (it was a laptop cable for adesktop PC FFS)sent a further 5 times before i eventualy discoverd on my own that the problem was that the data cable was hooked up too the wrong mobo slot. so much for the 13 step QA program.

Dear ,

We would like to update you on the status of your order with Alienware:


Your order is currently in phase 12 (Production: Quality Control)



Your system is undergoing the final stage of the Alienware® 200-point
quality control process. An Alienware® Quality Inspector is in charge of
inspecting your machine from top to bottom for any obvious or latent
defects. Our Inspectors are seasoned technicians/engineers and are very
experienced in the art of perfection.

thats just one of the 14 E-mails i got while it was being built and every one of them talked about their 'awsome' QA team and the 200 point inspection. i guess working optical drives isnt oneof the 200 things they inspect.but to be fair it worked great once that problem was fixed. but 6 months and uncounted hours on tech support hot lines isnt exactly the "alienware experiance" i paid a premium to get.

I thought the same thing. For your lan center, you could buy a ton of alienwares :)

But if you're looking for a single PC, I suggest you just order a low-mid range pc off of newegg.com, and then simply replace all your parts with better ones if you don't feel like building your own pc from scratch.

Check out www.ncix.com

It hasvery good deals and if you are building your own computer you could get a verygood computer for 1200$.

Always look at their weekly special deals they sometimes throw in amazing deals.

Hmm...maybe the $150,000 price tag was just an exaggeration and the mang is asking where he can buy a computer that won't cost an arm and a leg.

Anyways, Herrick also recommends building a PC. I think the most difficult part is finding about the appropriate hardware & making sure everything is compatible. This was difficult for me 'cause I didn't know a whole lot about PC parts. Then it's just a matter of following instructions, plugging the right stuff into the right stuff, and being very careful during the assembly.

I'm pretty sure the TC didn't mean to buy a PC with 150k$.

But if you have that sum of money, the best thing to do is to buy a maybe 5000$ PC every 3-4 years, because at any time a 5k$ PC is capable of running the best of the best games for atleast 2 years.

OMG GAIZ HE DIDUNT RALLY MEAN 150000 LOL U GAIZ DIDUNT EVAN NATICE!!!! LOL

it did have a comma and everything though. kinda hard to mean 1,500 and put 150,000...

we know you dumass - we're just kidding about the topics' title

If you py a PC for $150,000 there's something wrong with you. My computer cost a total of about $900 from scratch and can beat most anything from alienware or dell that are priced far above mine. So I would say build your own and save yourself a LOT of money. For like $2,000 you can get duel 8800 ultras, a crazy cpu, and water cooling and beat ANYTHING then save that other money for like a car or something like that lol.

I got an Alienware and am very satisfied with it. However the technical support guy from India... I know him. He tries to be helpful but I get the impression that he is overwhelmed.

I dont know how many other companies do this but I like the fact that if i want to upgrade a part on my computer I can check my invoice history online and call them to find out what parts are upgradable with my custom built order. Luckily my optical drives have not failed on me yet... but yeah, they do break a lot dont they.

My next computer will probably be a laptop. Not sure which manufacturer I'll go with.

I have a very nice, little used life I'll sell you for 150,000$. Forget PC gaming and get a life.

PS.Befrore anyone starts flaming I'm a console fanboy or game hater, I'd like to remind I've been gamer for 20 years, 18 of which pc gamer.
