those prices are excellent imo.

I grew up building my own PC's and seeing prices like this, with free shipping to boot, it just makes me think that beyond appeasing your inner control freak, we're quickly losing any reason to buy parts retail, or from multiple vendors and suffer through the shipping of parts and to associated costs when you've got a company offering prices like this for quality parts, and pretty slick looking cases to boot.

Anyone here order from this site? I have a friend who has, about 2 years ago, and he hasn't had a single problem with it. He highly recommends it.

I'll probably making the plunge on a system within 6 months. I'm trying to wait for the price point on the 8800's to come down juuuust a smidge.

Looking at those prices I think: "There is a processor AND motherboard in there, correct?"

This looks like just what I need for the girlfriend in need of a new PC.

haha, yeah, some of those prices/pre configs do not include a video card however. So there ya have it :D

Damn you, sir... Damn you. Oh well, she doesn't play games, she doesn't edit movies, and she once in a while uploads pictures to MySpace. I am sure I can strip a junk video card out for her.

Just had a nice fun time configuring my absolute dream PC on there, I love doing that...I just put the nicest components in, even stuff I don't need. The total came up to $6,965.00
So for my birthday in January, you guys'll know where to find a gift for me :)
