I have decided to check how much actually i can save if i didnt buy from those Manufacturers themselves. Instead go DIY. Those who don't know can just get the guy at the shop to fix it up for you and its free if you purchase your stuffs there.

You saved a total of Nearly $200 dollars. Prices should be lower as the Processer in this case is BETTER and the graphics card is WAY BETTER.

Many people say that going to buy DIY computers are geeks or gamer and stuffs. BUT no. all wrong. So many DIY shops already plan a system out for you. with that 300dollar more you can make your computer Much better like adding to 2GB ram for just another $65. or Change it to 500GB harddisk for maybe just a little more amount and it still all fall within your budget. Best of all is that you know what you are getting and anything wrong just go back to the same shop. Also if next time you wanna change any parts also easy, rather than you buy from a manufacturer, you dont know the parts in it, and if you want to just upgrade maybe a ram or harddisk space they will overcharge you and stuffs.

If you were to ask me to guess if i were to follow the specification each by each and make an exactly same computer, It would more or less be around 900+ pricing. Because the processor 4000+ not in the price list and the 7500LE 128mb is bullshit actually. The 7600GT 256mb if the price is $179, i think the 7500LE 128mb is only worth less than a hundred. Serious. No joke. Its that sucky.


Like shihao, com idiot. I just follow him to the shop and look through and tada a computer is built. Cheap and good.

SO WHY still go back to those manufacturers ? Eh money saved can be used to buy other things !!!
