Closer Look:
So you think you can build this PC for the same $1599 price tag that Cyberpower is offering this PC for. I had to think about it for a minute once I saw what went into this little gem but figured I would give it a shot. I chose Newegg as the retailer because their prices are usually pretty decent and the items would be stocked there. The one Item I could not find there was the Asetek LCLC cooling system so the price shown will not be from Newegg. Bare in mind that $1599 is a pretty steep challenge and you know just might not happen. So let's get to it.
Newegg Pricing and Links:
- Asus P6T Deluxe $299.99
- Intel Core I7 920 $299.99
- Kingston HyperX 3x1GB PC3 14400 $154.99
- Liteon DH 401S Blu Ray drive $89.99
- Western Digital 1TB drive $109.99
- Thermaltake Spedo Advanced Chassis $209.99
- Thermaltake Toughpower 600W $129.99
- HIS Hd4870X2 $509.99
- Flash Card Reader $19.99
- Logitech Keyboard and mouse $24.99
- Vista Home Premium 64bit $99.99
- Asetek LCLC cooling $106.25
If my math is correct my grand total to purchase this system separately and build it myself comes to a grand total of $2056.14. That's almost $500 more than the price Cyberpower is selling this system for. Why build it yourself other than the challenge in doing it when they can build it , ship it and all you have to do is write the cheque and save yourself 5 Benjimans. Its a no brainer if a build such as this tickles your fancy. Now wheres the cheque book?
