That's a fair price. I usually end up paying ~$80 for builder editions when I build new PCs. I would use any Linux build as I just don't want the hassles. Its much easier knowing that any software/hardware I buy will actually work out of the box without issues, generally. Plus, I can actually use Office, .NET, etc.

Oh and games, yeah ALL games work.

Finally, I don't have to educate everyone in my family on how to use a new product.

Essentially, it pays for itself in saved time, especially when considering my hourly wage. ;)
