Alienware's MJ-12 8550i is a relative powerhouse considering it's available from 1497 (ex. VAT). Quad-Core Intel Xeon processing collides with four-drive storage capability and acceptable memory capacity. The system ships as standard with Windows XP Professional (SP2), Intel Xeon 5130 (2.00GHz, 1333MHz FSB with 4MB cache), 1GB dual-channel 667MHz DDR2 (upgradable to 4GB), and 128MB nVidia Quadro FX 350 PCI-E (optional 1GB Quadro or ATI FireGL). Configurable with up to four hard drives, the MJ-12 8550i makes sure running out of space is never an issue. And if you're looking for speed, you've just hit paydirt: the MJ-12 8550i offers 15,000rpm drives that deliver lightning-fast access. Storage options include: RAID 0 for increased performance and nearly double the drive to motherboard bandwidth; RAID 1 for added security so all your hard work won't evaporate into the stratosphere; and single or dual independent (non-RAID/JBOD) drives for system critical data independence, performance, and the storage topology designed to your requirements.
