Yeah I'm on newegg 24/7. I'm hooked on PCs. I just bought the parts for another rig yesterday afternoon. It's an Athlon X2 3800+, 2 gig DDR2 800, 7600GS, hd/dvdr/case/etc. Was only $639 + $32 shipping.

The one you posted which priced out at $1,300~ I could probably bring down in price by about $100. It's just about going back through and fine combing the parts list. Trying to find discounted or rebated items. Like yesterday the parts list originally started out at $720, but got them down to $639.

Anyway, I build em for people all the time. I can usually do it for free, if there is enough in rebates on the items(like $50-70). Otherwise I'll just charge like $50-100 depending on how complex the system is. It's always fun building a PC, and it only takes like an hour. So I'm always willing to help someone out. Specially since it saves the person an insane amount of money having it custom built instead of say walking into bestbuy or alienware and buying one.
