    Default So I'm looking to upgrade and avarice took over...

    That case looks like a real pain in the ass to use, and damn I want it.

    Soooo tempted to just buy the lot.

    I'd add a SSD though.

    That is actually priced great, no overpaying or anything like that.

    Although I would wonder why you'd want such a pc

    btw the case is great, it has a very well thought design, there is no chance that anything in there won't run cool

    I found the case for 100 less just poking around, but as for why I'd want it.

    Avarice, pure and simple.

    I put together those components at newegg and the price came at 3363.92

    The overprice was in the light of that system should be bought at no less than 4000 in any custom builder out there.

    The case got surprising good reviews, which is not normal for good looking cases.

    Newegg has the motherboard, RAM, CPU, and GPU's cheaper than that even including the bundle discount. For that price they should have a pair of GTX480's in that thing.

    Isn't spending a huge quantity of money be almost the opposite to avarice? You have a desire for a product but not for the money itself if you're willing to spend so much of it on this product.

    I guess if there's nothing else you want to use that money on then go for it.

    in a custom build pc? that is just that

    take a look at other custom pc builders to compare.

    That config in a custom builder it would set you back at least 4-5 grand, the usual would be 8

    Well to be fair MM I think its just the parts they send you, you still need to put it together, so you might as well save the 300 bucks, not that it takes much to put it together once they are all picked out.

    I actually have decided I am going to get this, but not until I finish redoing my basement. I'll probably tweek it a bit.

    That it case is really nice and in general that is a solid prebuilt machine, but might as well buy them separately.

    I wouldn't attribute it to custom PC building in general as they range from low-budget to high-budget. Even though this is obviously a huge payout, under any circumstances I would consider $300 quite a lot of money to save.

    While you're at it, why don't you go ahead and use the excess money as toilet paper?
