[email protected] Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 Sounds way to overpriced to me. I could get this for half the price. And the parts are a bit outdated, they could've atleast put a 7800GTX 512MB in that PCI-E slot, or a fx-57 Overclocked parts with 1 year warranty? Hah.

Majestic Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 Man, for $3,365 you could build a much more powerful pc if you did it yourself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vALKYR Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 For 3,365$ you could get a fat A64 X2 or FX-57 watercooled, 2 7800GTX, 1-2 gigs of RAM etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ed209 Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 newegg.com is where I go for pc components. They are fast, reliable, and usually have competitive prices. Would you prefer a cost effective high end gaming rig, or absolutely highest end possible? Also, how much are you willing to spend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cran. Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 Well, unless that's AUD, you're getting ripped off! Built it yourself, or if not go to a local computer store and get it custom built by them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twuan Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 sounds liek a ripoff to me if u don't want to build the whole thing yourself, then just buy a good pc, like the sony vaio that's liek 1000 bux, and then just add a better video card, or get an alienware pc (u don't have to add anything) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not so hot with computers, but my bro could help me out, so i'm not asking for any of you to waste time making one from scratch going through loads of pages Assuming you're in the US. http://www.pricewatch.com They have reviews of every site linked to (user reviews mind you) so you can usually get a pretty good impression of the site's reliability. ~ Proud Supporter of the Child's Play Charity! | GTANET + Child's Play ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MindCorrupt Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 Man, for $3,365 you could build a much more powerful pc if you did it yourself Listen to this guy. Buy the components yourself and assemble yourself. You have no idea how much money you can save. @cran: Itd be a rip off in AUD too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logic3 Posted December 16, 2005 Author Share Posted December 16, 2005 My flag says I live in England, so newegg.com is out of the question, and does http://www.pricewatch.com/ deliver overseas? Thanks for all the advice, I've found a new website for the UK, just need my bro to make something with it all, take a look yourselves if you want: http://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/ And I already know Alienware is overpriced and overrated, so that's out of the question... although they do have smart cases, that's about all I like about them.. And yes, I just want a high-end gaming rig I'm also willing to spend around £4-3K, but before then I just want to find the cheapest stuff possible, then i'll worry about the money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tornado Rex Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 does http://www.pricewatch.com/ deliver overseas? Well pricewatch more-or-less just has lists of sites that offer the cheapest prices on what you're looking for. They link to other sites so it all depends if that site offers delivery overseas. ~ Proud Supporter of the Child's Play Charity! | GTANET + Child's Play ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logic3 Posted December 18, 2005 Author Share Posted December 18, 2005 Don't worry, I already know not to buy from Alienware, my bro bought an Alienware computer a few years ago, and within a week it needed new parts And thanks again everyone for helping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
