This is my first Precision system... I snagged it off ebay for $605 +40 shipping last week.
Specs :
2x xeon 5160 3.0ghz 1333fsb
4gb ddr2-5300f
4x146gb 15k SAS w\ Perc 5i raid card
1000w psu
nvidia quadro fx vid ( kinda weak but no big deal )
Anyhow... this is one of the most solid systems i've seen. For $645 I got a rediculous deal since I did a search on ebay and found other lesser equipped 690's going for $1000-1200. With a decent video card this would blow any mac pro out of the water.
I pulled the sas drives for 4 750gb WD Raid Edition drives for the extra storage space because it's just going to be used for backups and for part of our imaging system.
