Delete this thread...The anandtech members are certainly some of the rudest, and most childish, forum members in all of online communities.

$885, all at newegg but cpu and fan. And newegg is hardly the cheapest online source without even considering that if he's not going to be buying from consumer retailers. I'd say this price is about $150-200 over what the builder actually pays for all his parts.
So I was wrong about the 50% markup. It's more like a 75-100% markup. But good job challenging me and making your friends site only look like a bigger ripoff.

I don't own that company. I do know the person who owns it. Some rule against knowing him and posting a deal? Doesnt change the fact that its a good deal.

How could ATFS/T ever compare with ATHDOriginally posted by: Inappropriate4AT
There's also a great little section here called FS/T where another 20-30% can be knocked off the retail price.

And by the way, the people who know me on anandtech know i manage a local computer store and write for the local newspaper's computer column...wish i had time to go out and do something that takes up my entire day on top of all that, like owning a business.

There is not a computer sold in america, short of the crap at walmart, that cannot be had for a lower price by doing it yourself. For you guys who build you own, and for me personally, yeah i could get it cheaper...for the joe blow who buys his systems, it is one helluva deal...Typical american negativity.
