Is this a reasonable price or am i getting bent over?

[minofifa]

Hello,
as some may know, i am building a computer to be used solely for audio productoin and midi. I have a price quote from a local retailer (i can't build a computer myself). I was wondering if you guys could have a look at it and see if its a decent deal. Here it is:

P4 3.0-800 $340
Asus P4P800 Del $199
1 GB Ram ( 2x512 ) $310
Maxtor 80 GB SATA HD $135
Maxtor 120 GB SATA HD $169
LG Combo Drive $85
Win XP Home $149
Tower with 400Watt $115
ATI Radeon 128Mb dual monitor video card ???

If you want it assembled $35
Windows Installed $75

Total before taxes: $1741
x 14 % GST and PST : 1984.71

Keep in mind that is canadian funds. INUS funds that would be about.... 1290.08 i think

thanks

$1200 isnt bad, i would think u could get a rig like that for cheaper though. have no idea about ur video card though. r u talking a radeon 9200se or a x800pro?

not too shabby...I'm willing to bet that they just use all the default options for the windows installation, which means SLOW.

After seeing what the next generation procs and PCI-Express will do. I would highly recommend waiting to upgrade.

Use NCIX's PC Builder found here.

And I consider NCIX a bit more expensive

If you don't live in BC, you won't have to pay PST.

Price is a tad expensive, but that may be well worth it depending on the customer service you get.

Not too shabby - Most of the parts are only 10-20 bucks more than I've seen on Canadian websites, which is pretty good for a local store.
