Nope, The quadro is the most exensive part on the PC... you can do about the same for $1500

Seems a bit pricey even with the $500 GPU. For that price they cut a few corners, like using Kingstons value ram, cheap hard drive, and it comes without an OS.

How would a quadro classify the rig as a gaming computer?  Quadro's aren't the best for games...But that price does seem steep!  What are you using it for, I assume rendering and physics simulation...And what is up with the raid controller card, but not utilizing any raid?

Damn that is a nasty price.  My computer (if you don't count the SSDs, monitors, speakers, mouse, and keyboard which yours does not have) cost ~$1850 shipped, with an OS, lot faster memory, bigger/faster HDD, DVD burner, water cooling, and the most PIMP paint job you will ever see.  Even adding in the cost of a Tesla C1060 mine would still be cheaper.  You might want to consider building your own since they seem to be using cheaper parts and then ripping you.

for that price I have to agree with everyone else. They are using cheap brands. you can get alot more for your money from just about anywhere else.
