I was bored, so I decided to get some price quotes from Craigslist.

Was browsing the Craigslist Computer section and decided to see what some of the folks placing ads for PC builds would charge for a ground up system at these specs...

2.0 - 3.0 Ghz CPU
1 Gig of DDR400 ram
CDRW drive
DVDRW Drive
450 Watt PSU
100-160 GB Hard Drive
6600GT or equivalent
Basic case

$1100

$850

$975

$700-$800

What a joke:roll:

 

[daveymark]

you're supposed to haggle

the sellers know you'll lowball, so they start out extremely high

 

[imported_LoKe]

Haha. You could build a system like that for around $660 with an X2 and DDR2 memory.

 

[compnovice]

Ask them if they have been able to assemble a single system at these prices..

 

[daveymark]

the CPU is kinda vague...what if it's a FX 55?

I think that the fact that price checks are not allowed on these forums, regardless of how thinly they are disguised, is a great idea.

I'll trade you for a trash bag of empty beer cans.
