| 1110180 | 2010-06-14 08:51:00 | computer lounge are experienced, they will give you a good idea of what you can get for your money. | GameJunkie (72) | ||
| 1110181 | 2010-06-14 08:51:00 | They are professionals, and unlike many others will not take you for a ride. They will configure the best system they can with your $3000 budget, trust me. They consistently come as the number one computer shop in the enthusiast circle. When I came to the forum to ask if I could get a cheaper quote on the parts I wanted, they gave me $100 off the website price total and stepped my motherboard up (from P6T SE to P6T). |

| 1110185 | 2010-06-14 09:21:00 | Should be close, my rough calc says it leaves about $200 for building and shipping, so def in the ball park. | Battleneter2 (9361) | ||
