I'm totally ripping them off if you ask me.The only thing i'm thinking of upgrading is the power supply.Maybe 700 watts will do.But i'm kind of worried that it may be too good to be true.Should i take the deal?

I'm totally ripping them off if you ask me.

Sorry but LMFAO. For starters,

Free Software/Game ( Free Game - [Anarchy Online] )
Free Software/Game ( Free Game - [Scions of Fate] )
Free Software/Game ( Free Software -- [3DMark®06 Basic Edition] )

are all free to begin with, so what's the big deal there? As for the rest of it is you go to someplace like Newegg and price it all out it will probably come in $5-700 less.

Re: Sweet deal or what?1905 bucks for this bad arse.

You're getting ripped off to the core. An 8800GTX/E6750 + 800W PSU machine will come in at around $1200, and you're paying nearly double for something that performs half as well, and won't last very long with that PSU.


For that price, I'd expect SLI-8800GTXes and 4GB of RAM.

Re: Sweet deal or what?1905 bucks for this bad arse.

As long as your happy I guess but agreed with above ^^

PS. I bet the Q6600 your getting is the older version and does not come with G0 stepping thus limiting the OC'ing capabilities of the chip. Also, that PSU is not SLI rdy when your using 8800 640mb x2... I bet it only has two pcie power plugs too. What you really need is a quad SLI PSU that come with 4 pcie plugs because a GTX takes two alone... I'm sure its the same case for a 640.

Re: Sweet deal or what?1905 bucks for this bad arse.

Not terrible for having someone else do the work of putting it together for...oh...say...$200/hour.

The PSU is a tad crappy, and i'd be worried about cooling, but I'm always worried about cooling and no one like my PSU (antec, always) anyway. :)

Spend wisely. A good warranty makes up for a lot.

Warranty by HP compact:

We'll fix what ever is broken but we won't replace everything.

Real life experience: Boss's son's computer gets jolted during a storm and sends it in under warranty. Comes back with 768mb less ram (previously 1GB). Barely runs XP anymore.

Re: Sweet deal or what?1905 bucks for this bad arse.

lmao....Sweet deal ? rip off

I build myself a better rig for only 1200$, u should have 8800GTX for 1900$ rig.

[signa]

Re: Sweet deal or what?1905 bucks for this bad arse.

I wouldnt try to run SLI on a 8800 series card AND quad core on a 600w psu.
that quad probably draws 130 watts by it self.

Re: Sweet deal or what?1905 bucks for this bad arse.

the power supply isn't terrific. **let me rephrase that, we don't know what brand of psu it is** The wattage seems to be enough. The price is up there, but then again you're not the one building it. Its a manufactured PC. All the free crap is free to all of us as well.
