is that worth the price? it's a customized tesla personal supercomputer, for games, extremely high 3d rendering, and physics simulation.
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.
