My PC Shipped!

[Teny]

I don't think so, because what CyberPowerPC wanted around $1000 for, I could build for around $850.

i dont know man... sometimes you can build one for cheaper, but sometimes CyberPower is cheaper.
If you get bored like me, pick a computer off of some site/company, and pick the parts from newegg (including OS and shipping, but excluding the Freebies), and see how much of a difference it is.
I got bored and did one awhile back, and CyberPower was only charging about $50 more than building.

Thats what I was thinking...I don't think any place is cheaper than NE.

if you think about it, CyberPower probably get their parts as "true" wholesale price, so selling it for that price, they still make a decent amount of money.
Newegg doesnt sell the parts to us a "true" wholesale price, because if they did, then Newegg wouldnt be able to make any money.

EDIT -
Newegg Build

Sub Total = $2,048.78 (without Shipping, freebies, etc.)

the grand total was $2100 with 3 day shipping and a rush 3 day service

So it looks like he got a good deal with the freebies, 3 day rush, and 24 hour support.

*NOTE* not all the parts i found is the exact one that he will be getting, though its fairly close.
