I bought this work station from Dell a few month back. The idea is that I want to install Hyper-V and run several different operation systems in same machine. I’m playing with very new stuffs like VS 2010, early builds of Silverlight and etc so it’s time-consuming process for me to uninstall/reinstall manually. I’m very happy to use that powerful machine. The only thing that I want to add to that machine is “Solid state hard disk” but I can’t afford to buy it for now. Hope the price of solid state will be deceased very soon.

dude, the specs are amazing
How much did it cost?
It costs me around $ 3000.
Definitely can’t afford it :D
If you buy Sony VAIO laptop or something, it costs you at least 2400 or more..
So, paying 3K for powerful machine instead of fancy laptop is better.. :)
