So, in other words, the deal Squilliam is presenting is a pretty damn good deal, assuming it has enough cooling already in the box(I tend to open up the sides of my PCs anyway, lol, I have compressed air handy for the dust problem and you'll never get a heating issue with no box surrounding your hardware, in a cool room). I mean, considering that a pre-built PC is usually a screw job and much much worse than built PCs you can get around that price range, this one is actually quite an amazing deal. Espcially since it comes with Vista and I assume has a warranty.
....hell, this is actually the deal of the century if those specs prove out right, lol. I mean, you could be playing Crysis on medium settings on Squilliam's PC in like 3 days from now, if you ordered it. Like, pow, snap, bang. The "reviewer" said it won't run Crysis well on high settings, but that implies that it will run it on medium settings, so I assume it would. You certainly could play other high end games like Bioshock, Gear 1, Assassin's Creed, Dragon's Age, and that kinda stuff, out of the box(besides attaching the videocard). Basically, it could blow a 2000 dollar PC from 3 years ago, out of the water, and it's like 450 bucks prebuilt for ya, with a warranty. |
I'm almost certain that opening up a prebuilt computer will void the warranty. I had an emachines maybe 5 years ago that I opened up to add more RAM to the machine and there was a warranty sticker on the inside. When you opened up the computer, it broke that sticker. If you buy the parts yourself, you can upgrade freely and still have manufacturer's warranty for each part.
And everyone always forgets about the operating system when talking about how cheap computers are. Probably because most people just pirate it.
