I like the customization they offer right on their site, plus they offer some neat cases I haven't seen anywhere else. I built my last computer myself but frankly I don't have the time or the patience anymore. It's going to take me long enough to get my data transferred over, I'd rather not piss around with the hardware as well.
Here is basically what I ordered:
Nzxt Apollo Gaming Tower Case Black - Hero w/ Axe Man
Cold Cathode Neon Light
Thermaltake Purepower 700 Watt Power Supply [SLI Ready]
Intel Core 2 Duo Processor E6600 (2x 2.4GHz/4MB L2 Cache/1066FSB)
Free Game - [World of Warcraft ]
Certified CPU Fan and Heatsink + 2 Extra Color Lighting Case Fans
NVIDIA NForce 680i SLI Chipset w/7.1 Sound, Gb LAN, S-ATA Raid, USB 2.0 Dual PCI-E MB
1024MB [512MB X2] DDR2-800 PC6400 Memory Module
Nvidia Geforce 7300 GT 512 MB w DVI / TV out
200 GB HARD DRIVE [Serial-ATA-II, 3Gb, 7200 RPM, 8M Cache]
16X Dual Format/Double Layer DVD±R/±RW + CD-R/RW Drive
MS Windows XP Media Center 2005 Edition w/ Free Upgrade Coupon for Windows Vista? Home Premium
Rounded Cables for Floppy/HDD/CD/DVD/CD-RW/DVD-RW Drives
Professional wiring for all cables inside the system tower
IEEE-1394 Firewire PCI Card w/Cable + Software
that comes to $1593, plus $95 shipping is $1688.
Nothing special, but it is a lot better than the 2.53 GHz P4 I am using right now. Seems to me this site has better prices and far better customization than places like alienware or dell, etc.
I don't game on it anymore, so I wasn't going to blow the money on SLI cards, although I can go that route in the future if I want to since the power supply and motherboard support it.
