the reason that voodoo omen is 14 grand is because it's gold plated. anyhow, the less cheap, better computer alternative is making one yourslef. Costs less, and they are usually better.
Buy a pci-e compliant mobo, and any kind of processor that fits the socket in your mobo. PReferably AMD's athlon FX-60 (it's a beast). Next would be too buy some RAM, nowadays 1 gigabite is usually very common, so I reccomend 512 megabites or more. Get a nice powersupply, 400watts AT LEAST. for graphics cards I reccomend either the nvidia 7900gt (any manufacturer is fine) of the Radeon x1800 crossfire. The nvidia one is a bit better, and says so in the price tag too. Next get a big ass hard drive, and geta cd drive too. The next thing is more optional, but if your mobo doesn't come with onboard sound and network card you will need to buy a sound card and network card. The next thing is my favorite part. Cases. You should also pick a cool computer case that you fnd to show off your new beast.
Thhose are justthe things you need, manufacturer and price are up to you.
