...and what possible benefit would i get from cutting "wires" with "lasers" in my computer?

Prices from the egg, in order of hardware you listed:
$541
$315
$183
$183
$429
$277
$139
$76
Total from Newegg : $2183 + shipping

Unless shipping is over $700 from newegg (which it isn't) then your claims of "cheaper than building it yourself from newegg"...are false.
 
although 700 isn't what shipping is, you do pay about 300 sometimes for a warrenty... but, i've had experience with alienware and ibuypowers warrentys... alienware, i ordered one, didn't like it, returned it and got a full refund, warrenty and 30 day return worked well. ibuypower, i got one last week, love the computer, haven't had any problems, and it was a much better computer then the computer i built for the same price on alienware.

so although u may pay up to $700 more, and yes, some people may not have an extra $700 to throw around like I do, however, for that $700 if u can spend it, u get professional install(which is important if your a newbie and would rather it gets done professionally), and you get a warrenty with onsite service for 2 years in my case.

I know if i built my own i'd have many problems, and i'd just get frusterated. I'd rather pay a little more, have a warrenty so if i break it, it will be fixed, and i'll have enough fun upgrading it and trying to overclock.

$700 is a little to you? wow

Or, you could trouble shoot the problems yourself, from the help of people here or anywhere, and get the problem fixed. When you buy individual products you still get a warranty, its called the store/site warranty, and the manufacturer warranty. You can RMA products individually, or exchange them, or flat out refund them.

I was a n00b too when I first built my computer, and it wasn't that hard. Honestly it doesn't take anyone advanced or even remotely "smart" to build a computer. On top of that, you won't be as good at upgrading your hardware when the time comes if you've never worked with it, same for overclocking. You'll know everything up to removing the hardware and replacing it, this is when you ask, "Err...what do I do now?" and you're stuck.
 
i have worked with computers... i have installed cd roms, hard drives, video cards, sound cards. only things i've never done is the bios setup, and operating system setup, and basically everything else i didn't list above.
 
with that extra 700 bucks you can get another 7800gtx and still have leftovers. And yes when i built my computer i had plenty of problems and i was frustrated but its a good feeling when you finally get it all straightened out, plus you learn alot more from building a computer than ordering one, especially if you dont know much about hardwares.

money obviously grows on tree for you then

and 2890?
i find that pricey.. and as said.. there really isnt a need for an extra dvd burner.. and 2 gig.. i probably wouldn't.. but seeing what your getting.. u will probably be doing serious gaming/graphical editing.. so thats a must.. but even so.. u should opt out that extra dvd burner and get it just a tab cheaper.. and newegg

sounds much better..
 
Actually, it costed me 2800 even, built and shipped. I dont have time to order individual parts and learn to build a computer. The newegg price for the system is actually.. $2435 without shipping cost... not including the RAID0 job you have to do. So 2800 even pre built by professionals for 350 extra isnt that bad.
I was trying to give people another site that lets you build PC's for a cheap price... unlike IBUY, monarch, alien, etc.
 
Yeah thats true. I meen its $50 for a 4400+ there then on newegg. Also $80 for a 6200 graphic card.... Please. If I could sell them for that much I would too but I dont think there are stupid people out there.
 
Have a look here

You paid way too much.

you do pay about 300 sometimes for a warrenty...

I agree however,
1. No point in flaunting system specs if the warranty is the selling point OR
2. If the warranty isnt the selling point then odds are the targeted market will be consumers that dont need or want a warranty

with that extra 700 bucks you can get another 7800gtx and still have leftovers.

Wow. I could almost pull off two 7800GTs for that price.

not including the RAID0 job you have to do
Click to expand...
You assume RAID0 is worth something.... and that it takes more than hmm ... 1..2..3...4..5 clicks. Also funny that you make a big deal about having to do RAID0 setup "all by yerself" even though you dont quite even understand raid0

So 2800 even pre built by professionals for 350 extra isnt that bad.

Funny. I could build a box for 2800CAD and run circles around you for everything from gaming to heavy statistical analysis....

and its not 2 DVD burners... its a DVD DL RW and a CDRW DVD ROM combo...

Firstly, you said
2 x Lite On 16x DVD+/-RW
Click to expand...
Which means two burners but regardless, whats the make and model of the optical drives?
