19" Dells are in the $300 range (if interested, I got one for sale ). The computer I'm building costs $900 w/o monitor

/nag>Well I hope it was worth it>nag\ Why not; a little steep, yeah. But to see all those pixels in their glory; well that's just the price you pay. Did you try the old "computers are an investment, they'll make you money if your savvy enough." A lot of people buy that crap.

Could have saved $100 on RAM and got 98% of the performance of the XMS.

Actually I don't think he did bad... my guess on prices would be...

motherboard - $100
CPU - $200
RAM - $300
video card - $300
Hard drive - $80
PSU - $50
case - <$50

and he said the monitor was $400... so that leaves $800 for the rest of it, and my estimates come to over $1000.

hah, tribe suffer heap big buyers remorse

 

[Yossarian]

don't worry about it, it's your money. I'll be buying a HDTV for the next generation of consoles later this year.

 

[MagicConch]

At least you didn't have buyer's remorse on the car and wish you had spent some of it on a new computer to play Battlefield.

I don't see a $400 monitor in there... Or maybe you weren't implying I got ripped off like the other guys, in that case I apologize.

After your g.f. is long gone you'll still have your computer and BF2 to curl up to on those long, lonely nights...

Exactly, all that pain in the ass rebate/discount/coupon code crap, it's a hassle and not worth my time.

Uhh it's a hassle to click a link, copy/enter a coupon code and save $150?

I don't quite get it
