Aussies get ripped off in every which way. Even software costs more down here. It costs even more in New Zealand. Cars, TV, you name it, we pay more. They have a luxury tax for fancy cars!
Personal licence plates cost about $500 every year plus other rego costs. Cameras, lenses, everything costs more. Houses in Sydney are from 600 to a million or more. Expensive place to live.
No real winter down here. It is about 22 degrees outside today. That is about 70 degrees in California temp. We have a climate similar to Atlanta or Northern Florida. Great place to live.
Sydney has over 5 million people. It is like rush hour all the time now. Roads haven't kept up to the population expansion.
I was trying to keep costs down and was hoping to stay under 2 grand. Not possible when you build a high end machine. It does what I want so far so no complaints.
I see. Well... that sucks
Anyway, I agree with adonis. With a computer like that, no reason not to game!
power in a mini itx for triple screen = water. Get mid to full tower.
You mean I'll need a liquid cooling system if I go mini-itx? Anyway, thanks for the feedback. I've 99% given up on the idea by now. Finding a nice-looking case like the Define R4 just made the decision that much easier. I'm planning on picking up a 4670k + GTX 770 4gb. I do want to go too crazy... I'd rather just reign in the spending a little and upgrade more frequently.
There's one thing that still gives me pause. While looking for the thinnest bezel monitors, I read that some zero bezel monitors were shown off at a recent trade show, and are possibly going to make it to market this year. If I could get a real zero bezel triple screen setup within the year, that would definitely be worth waiting for.
