The post that follow the “boutique” reviews always make me laugh…. Everyone can build a better system for cheaper. So I thought I’d try. The parts for this system (from New Egg) would cost $3943.38 Then the Koolance parts $371.73 So for a total of $4346.46 I can build it myself (I’m sure I can figure it out, but I have a job and a family so not much time) So for $653 I get a warranty and someone else to do the leg work….Not a bad deal in my book. The same system on Main Gear would cost $5706.99, on Digital Storm it would cost $5914.00 (ouch!) and never heard of Dog House but I looked them up, $5525.00 (no 5970’s could only get 5870’s from them, system offerings are slim and kinda confusing) Also the case shown above wasn’t the case in the review…..The case in the review is the Corsair case (No paint or neon lights) So I guess you can build it cheaper, $653, just depends if you know how and what’s your time worth. So as far as “boutiques” go, Origin seems to be the best priced.
the Nook Color proved it was an undercover tablet all along, Barnes and Noble has hit back with this latest Nook as proof of its focus on one thing: reading.
