Just about every
box spec'd can/could be built for aprox
50-60% of posted price. And YES folks,
you can build yer own. Allot easier than
you'd ever believe.

I'd certainly think these guys coulda chosen some nicer looking cases.]]>Nov 25th 2009 10:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/25/ibuypower-lets-out-five-liquid-cooled-gaming-desktops/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/25/ibuypower-lets-out-five-liquid-cooled-gaming-desktops/
Building your own PC is a pain. If you are doing it to keep the costs down then that's fine but it's not worth the hassle, in my opinion, and I'm honestly not convinced that it is significantly cheaper given that manufacturers can no doubt buy components at a cheaper price than you or I. Yes, there is something nice about having something you made yourself but I'm not a fan of the arse-clenching moment when you first switch it on and hope that everything works.]]>Nov 25th 2009 11:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/25/ibuypower-lets-out-five-liquid-cooled-gaming-desktops/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/25/ibuypower-lets-out-five-liquid-cooled-gaming-desktops/Have you tried spec'ing out a similar machine? I have an i7-860 based build in my cart right now at New Egg that's $40 more without the water cooling. Granted, I have a better case and slightly better RAM, but the truth is, this is being offered at pretty close to the cost of building on your own, plus keyboard and mouse (though I don't need them), plus a Windows 7 license. I don't think it's really all that expensive and I'm pretty surprised to see it clock in that low. If I didn't move my machine from place to place a few times a year (which makes WC a hassle), and I didn't read such terrible reviews of iBuyPower's service, this would be a serious consideration for any enthusiast, whether or not they can build it themselves.]]>Nov 25th 2009 2:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/25/ibuypower-lets-out-five-liquid-cooled-gaming-desktops/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/25/ibuypower-lets-out-five-liquid-cooled-gaming-desktops/
Here there's nothing that would switch me from buying those parts myself and building it in my garage.]]>Nov 25th 2009 10:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/25/ibuypower-lets-out-five-liquid-cooled-gaming-desktops/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/25/ibuypower-lets-out-five-liquid-cooled-gaming-desktops/
Go right ahead... no one's stopping you from blowing up your garage. With you in it!

Yeah I don't get that either. What's with all the unnecessary LEDs. I wanna be able to turn on a pc without all these lights flashing everywhere. I'm a grown ass man, not a little kid.]]>Nov 25th 2009 11:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/25/ibuypower-lets-out-five-liquid-cooled-gaming-desktops/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/25/ibuypower-lets-out-five-liquid-cooled-gaming-desktops/You don't keep it under your desk unless you want to let it catch dust.]]>Nov 25th 2009 12:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/25/ibuypower-lets-out-five-liquid-cooled-gaming-desktops/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/25/ibuypower-lets-out-five-liquid-cooled-gaming-desktops/Nov 25th 2009 11:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/25/ibuypower-lets-out-five-liquid-cooled-gaming-desktops/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/25/ibuypower-lets-out-five-liquid-cooled-gaming-desktops/
