Every major brand that sells computers pre-built is overpriced compared to building it yourself.



That looks like a solid gaming computer for sure.

I'd use that money and put it into a GIC of some sort, i have one and mine pays like 4.5% (i signed at a good time)
Agreed don't buy this computer unless you completely need a new one. (or need to spend 100s of $ on repairs/upgrades.) Getting a new computer just because you want to or because you consider your out of fashion is a complete waste of money, but hey thats my option.
getting a computer because your old one is weak is actually one of the best reasons, i would think lol. or else people would still be using their pIII's at 266MHZ.

but besides that, i like the computer posted from newegg.com, IBuyPower makes some pretty good computers, and they arent horridly overpriced.

EDIT: though after looking at it, it seems that they skimped severely on the motherboard, i mean, it only has two ram slots, one pci-e (not that bad i guess lol) but i dont think it is of the highest quality nevertheless. oh and the wiring almost made me puke.

Sometimes scientists make things alot harder than they need to. All they've gotta do is put a big spring on the ground where they think it's gonna land, or send a mission to the moon to erect a sign that says "Welcome to Earth".
