That's pretty pricey. I'd rather build my own.

 

[dj1001]

yep same here

 

[AsAnAtheist]

^+1 I'd rather build my own.

 

[ionut19]

^Same thing for me..he he.

 

[redplanet]

i can probably get the organs cheaper from the black market

 

[El_Capitan]

I'll build your gaming rig that matches the performance of those for $200 less than what they ask for.

 

[crom]

Yea this is probably a bad site to post pre-built gaming rigs. +1 to building my own.

Advertising to the wrong crowd. ;/

 

[jonpaul37]

I'll build the same rig for less, with better OC potential and offer better warranty. And, i will offer PC's for all classes, not just gaming.

Was that guy in the video really wearing a lab coat while pretending to assemble a computer? I think this was dubbed cheesy in 1985.

Would have been more impressed if one of the characters in the video looked 20 or older. I've seen the type of slop kids put together and wouldn't want one building a computer for me.

 

[itadakimasu]

If I were rich, and had no budget and also did not like to build my own, I'd give them a shot.

Black|Ops = Alienware

 

[enzo matrix]

3 grand? and we don't get a 5970 or crossfire 5870s?

 

[TheDuke]

always have ridiculous pricing. these manufacturers always make pc gaming look more expensive than it actually is

 

[7amood]

on their website, there is this video that shows some kind of packaging...
putting some kind of air-bag and then showing it after filling the air inside the case...

could someone tell me what's that for??

 

[sarsoft]

This is my DIFFERENCE vs. DS.

My is cheaper by a lot more $$$. I can do the same and higher level of quality, precision, and testing then they can. OH and overclock much higher.

 

[ben850]

you're not a true PC gamer unless you built your own system

 

[Studly007]

Um Hello ?? Aren't any of you guys on TomsHardware experienced OCers? Look at the BlackOps Extreme radiator setup - that little piece of crap is supposed to keep an OC'd i7 960 AND an OC'd 5870 nice and frosty ??? It barely looks big enough for a 120mm fan. I Don't think so.

I have to use a 4 x 120mm rad for my rig.

So the computer doesn't get damaged during shipping.

 

[Lincolnton]

I don't know about prices... but that Obsidian rig with white tubing looks damn sexy.

 

[rickd_2689]

Who here doesn't build their own? I mine come on...I'd rather fully customize my system with whatever the crap I want to put in it. Only idiots buy pre-built systems.

 

[caponewgp]

Ive always built my own as well. My last build was about 3 months ago cost around 1500 bucks with 28" monitor. I just went to there site priced all the same parts out that are in my computer cost 3 grand on there website. I would have to be an idiot to by a computer through them. The only real money one can save is in basic computers which you can get from dell or gateway for 500 bucks with monitor and even sometimes a printer which you could never get that for under 500 with your own build.

 

[XD_dued]

should have used prime95

 

[Shadow703793]

Not sure about the watercooling specs, but if it's a full blown high eng WCing that could justify the cost. (FYI: Highend CPU + GPU WCing will be ~$400-600)
