Basically how much it costs to just gather those parts yourself?

Pretty good. This CPU played all my games great at stock settings. Just pop in a 4650 and this computer can game.

But with free shipping.

 

[TurtleCrusher]

Also, it has a 1 year warranty. If i didn't overclock this would be one of the best systems to pick up. Especially for the price.

 

[finbarqs]

i can't find 2x2GB for $20 without any rebates... or are you talking rebates included? tax? shipping? assembly time?

 

[tbogstad]

yeah without rebates this would run $450.00 shipped maybe.

Throw in a $100 to $250.00 video card and you have a nice gameing rig.

and this Asus board is supposed to overclock OK too.

 

[ibex333]

That's an unbelievably low price. I just built a PC for my dad a month ago and it cost me around that much with an e5200! The only difference is that it has a better mobo, and a video card. I did a lot of price researching, and I got the cheapest parts I could possibly find except for the mobo.

I am amazed at how much the computer prices are falling...

So you can buy it built the same price as you can buy all the parts. Interesting but with buying the parts you have longer warranties. WD 640GB is only 58 right now...

I dunno about this, can't you get a dell with 24" lcd for around 399 sometimes?

No uhh you cant get a dell with a 24" for around $399 anytime.

 

[Aarondeep]

I got 3 dell systems 2 months back with E7400,2gb ram, 250gb HD, and 21.6" widescreen for 234$ I think adding a 24" was 100$ more at the time.

Oh crap i was wrong, it was $470 I knew that sounded super cheap lol. I did the division wrong

 

[VirtualLarry]

Wow, that's pretty cheap. Does the included mobo overclock at all?

 

[brblx]

the vostro doesn't have room for a video card, though, does it?

 

[tbogstad]

This may very well be the cheapset CORE2Quad system I have seen.

And still available.

 

[vshah]

anybody have experience with this company?

 

[vitaminReality]

I've bought motherboards and tv tuners from this website, they are legit and seem to be reliable.

Microcenter has these now for $100. So possibly 3Btech obtain them for cheap too? That might explain how they can sell this for $400 and still make money.
