| 762894 | 2009-04-07 22:14:00 | Pricing off price spy can be very dangerous - while it may give you an idea as to the cost -you have to add in freight etc . Couple of other things - sometimes the actual parts as listed on Price spy are out of date, or the store doesn't have them . If there is a warranty issue, then it can take longer to have it fixed - lets say a PC has a problem - are you experienced enough to determine where the actual fault may be, and what component to have the warranty claim on, and which shop you purchased the original part from - if you guess and its wrong, you will be charged and still no further ahead . I see this a LOT - so called "Computer Experts" - HA!!! wouldn't know a fault if it turned around and bit them . Classic example - customer last week - the local expert the guy knew who " Knows all about computers" said the HDD had failed - the "real problem" after I looked at it - riddled with viruses causing it not to boot . You would be better off paying a bit extra, getting the whole PC built and supplied by one shop who knows what they are doing . +1 |

| 762895 | 2009-04-07 22:31:00 | +1 Also +1 from me :punk I don't see any operating system mentioned on the list, do you already have one? If not that will add about $200 depending on what OS you want. If it were me I would look at getting a black edition of the WD hard drive as they have a 5 year warranty and don't cost much more than the blues. |

| 762897 | 2009-04-08 05:18:00 | I agree that I should go to a reputable retailer (probobly computerlounge or QMB computers) Whats worng with the case? it looks good enough to me.......(in every aspect) I also have a budget of $1800 (although this is more of a guideline becuase il still buy if its $1810 or something like that) If you look at the other thread (ubuntu or windows) im planning on gettting Ubuntu.... |

| 762898 | 2009-04-08 06:56:00 | The case is fine, but I just reckon it looks weird:p Just my personal opinion though, so don't let me stop you from buying it;) You should be able to meet that 1800 budget if you shop around. Blam |
