survivalist92 Posted June 24, 2011 Author Share Posted June 24, 2011 (edited) $2061 AUD = $2164 USD... so... 773.98 (USD) for the case But you know it will be good quality.... and.... yea.. you got me here. That's cheaper, but requires assembly Edit: so basically you are paying say... $200 for the case and $573 for assembly (or thereabouts) also... the last time i had a PC built by someone it had so many problems, i'd rather pay for the assembly then trust the person again (even if that person happens to be family...)

CommanderCrazy Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 576 is still crazy for assembly. Its about 50 where i am.Still recommending against it. Also, it may not actually be good quality. Sometimes the internals can also be put together bad.Just because you are paying through the nose does not make guarantee quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
survivalist92 Posted June 24, 2011 Author Share Posted June 24, 2011 (edited) ok, so it's 723 USD for the BA case... 50 for assembly (or thereabouts... corrected this time) guess it comes down to how much money i make this summer and i would gladly pay for a name brand then a custom built one, even if the custom build one is cheaper :D Edited June 24, 2011 by survivalist92 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoofhearted4 Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 honestly man your making a horrible mistake. your gaming computer as you call it, is WAY over priced. you can custom build one for half that easy and have it be twice as good in near every department. im currently building one. i had put $1400 into it but do to some recent unforeseen events (got into an accident) i had to cut prices and am now looking at around $1000 to build it (if i can) and it still a damn good PC. (look in the software//hardware thread, youll find like 438924 recent threads by me about it) as for having it come to you in one piece, bro just build it yourself. honestly. ive never built a PC before, and ill be putting mine together by myself. this video was recommended to me on this site. i watched it and i honestly feel quite confident in building a PC now (helps that i planned on getting the same case he used):http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUY0tP5jYIo and i bet you can find a case off Newegg.com that youll think is just as badass, it just might not have motorized parts and crap. in the end. dont waste money on any prebuilt system whether it be bestbuy, alienware, dell or what have you. build it yourself and youll save a chunk of money and end up with a system thats just as good if not better. the other thing thats good about building it yourself, is that youll know how to put it together, making it easier for you to upgrade if/when the time comes. with a $3000 spending cap, on newegg, you can easily swamp that alienware PC.
