I think I'm getting a quite a good deal. Should I bump up the processor to E6700 or are they close enough (e6600 / e6700)?

its $1737 in USD. Yes it looks like its worth the money good setup there. Are you having this prebuilt or are you building it yourself.

Well, compare it to the computer in my sig, which cost me just over £1300, and I built myself.

Im actually a tad annoyed, cos you have a 19-inch TFT in that build as well. grr

Well, the Core 2 Duo's are apparently superb overclockers, so just go for the e6600. Doubt its worth spending more for the e6700.

 

[diduknowthat]

google says about $2,568.50. I dono, without all the extra stuff and monitor that system definetly does not work that much. With it..dono...still looks overpriced to me.

You're making the assumption that if the above build was on sale in America, that it would retail for $2568.50.

I would certainly buy it, but I can't even afford a down payment on a free lunch, so I guess I'm out of luck. I tried pimping myself out but I couldn't get any takers.

I'm having this pre-built by MESH.

Sorry, no. All the info, brand and other things are in the spec I posted. I'm getting this prebuilt so I cant have much say anyway.

So far... its a bargain in the UK. Dunno about the US or Canada but its a good deal here.

 

[Iluvpenguins]
