and


Now to sit down and work out if its actually possible ( should be or close to it) at what cost buying from shops here in NZ.

I did this in 2007 including monitor and wireless keyboard and mouse, admittingly without the Software price of life. Is running Win7 and still plays the latest games to this day.

1340073 2013-05-07 23:22:00 Just worked it out, using general shops that most know of -- :groan:

Example - Nowhere in NZ can I see that Memory for $43 its all around $70+ A few other components are now obsolete as well and have been replaced by newer more expensive versions.

Its a pity who ever edited the original article didn't appear to look at what's available in the shops currently, and get the correct pricing -one thing is for sure $1400 there is no way ( maybe at wholesale it would be close).

I think We all know in the magazine game they all copy other articles -- But to get it so wrong with pricing -- tisk tisk.

At least the previous mentioned Article that our Own Zara wrote was correct -- What was written was what was sent back -- Nicely reworded to the questions asked.:thumbs:

Yeah. I can't stand it when people make positive contributions to NZ's fledgling technology journalism scene either.

1340079 2013-05-09 00:32:00 Yeah. I can't stand it when people make positive contributions to NZ's fledgling technology journalism scene either.

One way of looking at it I suppose, if somewhat misguided.
