    Those prices sound reasonable to me. do they to you? Can you think of somewhere that could outdo them? they are in USD

    Are they serious about the Trident 9750 4MB in option 2??? For that price I was expecting a Geforce 2, 3, or 4.

    And for the video card in option 1..... an ATI PCI??? for $2500 I would think it'd also be some sort of AGP video card like a Radeon, or a Geforce.

    Well for those prices the hard drives could be a bit larger and I'm surpised to see no CD Burners

    Anyway those were very good prices, I imagine as always you could get better, but if the guy is trustworthy and they are new, I would go with them if I had the money.

    You made the same mistake I made, it's not a personal computer, he's describing server packages.

    It has nothing to do with me. It has to do with all the complaints I got about it. It certainly wasnt anything to be editing posts or removing you for...so all I could do was to tell you to talk understandable..

    Anyway it is not cheaper to build your own server, if you go to a discount place what they do is put the computer together for you and if you include shipping for all of those individual pieces you are getting ripped. Those are probably the best good deals you are going to find, if you really plan on buying them, look around a little more and go fdor it.
