$1,225.18 including shipping from Newegg. $1,205.18 after $20 rebate on video card
https://secure.newegg.com/NewVersion...stem+max+clone Don't think I missed anything important. Case and ps is junk but you could add a Antec w/500w ps and still be at the same price as the system from *yuck* TigerDirect. Last edited by 12twelve12; 09-27-2006 at 03:39 PM. |

PS: http://www.resellerratings.com/seller1983.html You can build something better for that kind of money. Do you even need a TV tuner...? that's $60 right there. Oh, and they don't even list the power supply used...it's probably a piece of junk.

Read posts and build your own. You can do better than that.

Now you see another reason why we steer people away from TigerDirect.

Yeah, well they're good for monitors, lol. I got a Sharp LCD there with a rebate, before I knew about all this.

Actually, don't recall. I believe I did however, but it was a while ago. If I didn't, I'd remember.
