Here what I have for 1686 USD$ estimated on IBUYPOWER with shipping.
Now, here what I get on NewEgg.
Newegg.com - Once You Know, You Newegg
for 1548 USD$ without shipping. Last time I cheked it cost me around 100$ shipping from them. so
total of 1648.
What is the difference between the 2 build? Why is the one from Ibuypower nearly the same cost for more? Is there some piece that are weaker then the newegg one?
And if anyone knows about IBUYPOWER, what is the difference between the desktop title.
Like If I take the 2012 Paladin Dr. I, and if I take the Gamer Paladin D817, the first one will cost me about 100-150$ dollars less for the same stuff inside. I don't understand?
Well, Ibuypower is a rip off if you know how to build your own system and have done it before. But to the OP, I don't really understand what you're asking? Do you want to build another system like the ones you mentioned? Why are you building one on Alienware? I'm lost.
