Beating the $700 Crysis PC

[Wizrdwarts]

How's this? Am I missing anything?

The only drawback is that there's an 8800GT instead of an 9800GT, which would only make a difference if the Crysis PC is using the 55nm chips.

this 9800gt is the same price if you dont mind a $15 rebate, This has a better Heatsink and fan and trust me the 8800gt reference cooler isnt the best by a long shot

The Crysis PC comes with XP Pro, not Vista.

I tired not to rely on rebates since you can get the Crysis PC for $700 at the start without having to mail in forms and wait.

Corkum, Meh, an OS is an OS. I suppose after the MIRs you could get a copy of XP Pro though.
