Totally Awesome Computers Ridiculously Insane

Despite having a name that makes people roll their eyes, Totally Awesome knows how to build a PC. Along with Gateway and Dell, Totally Awesome is the only other outfit to submit a Pentium 4�Cbased machine. The Ridiculously Insane is built around an Asus P4C800-E motherboard and has 1GB of PC400 DDR 400 memory. Similar to a few others, this machine has a small, separate 72GB RAID-0 configuration for the OS and system files, and a single 250GB drive allotted to data.

For the most part, the Ridiculously Insane shipped with all the components you��d except from a company��s flagship machine: an Audigy 2 soundcard, Logitech Z-680 speakers, and a 19-inch LCD. However, this machine showed up with a GeForce FX 5900 as opposed to the newer 5950, which impacted its performance score. While I like the Ridiculously Insane, at damn near $5,000, I��d expect a faster graphics card and better performance.

What's Unique?

Though everyone continues to hype Klipsch, the Logitech Z-680s are awesome speakers.
