Title: How much $?
Post by: D-MAN on March 13, 2009, 10:38:25 PM

In your personal expert opinions how much would it cost me to personally build this computer opposed to buying it from this website:

Why would you build it to match another? Just build it how you want it to be. That's the biggest fucking advantage.

IT ALL COMES WITH DIRECTIONS!!! pretty easy if you read the directions. hardest part imo is putting in the processor and knowing where to plug something in. watch a youtube vid if needed. also building is usually cheaper.

AND NEVER GET HP! just sayin

If you're starting with absolutely nothing(meaning you can't/won't take parts from another PC) my guess is the PC in the first link would cost about 1800.  The second one you'll probably break even.

Building it yourself is always cheaper. The one I just built would have cost me almost double if I had let somebody else do it.  And the great thing is I built it the way I wanted it and did not have to buy a bunch of crap that I didnt want. 

Just follow the directions.  Make sure to put in your risers and align the processor right.  Everything else is just plug in and all the connectors on the board are typically marked with what is suppose to be plugged in there.
