MyRightEye Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 It seems they have pretty good bang for the buck, and it's all installed for you. Any reason why not?

Zaap Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 $1,200 for that is laughable, that's why not. That's maybe $700 worth of parts at best. For $1,200 one can now build a decent i7 system.

I agree with Zaap! I just make my own OpenPro with an Q6600, case, PSU, Graphics ans so on with a new 22" LG screen for less than 900 euro. I'm running at 3,6GHz, 1.4125 V FSB400... It rocks I love it. Ed Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/168064-why-not-just-buy-a-psystar/#findComment-1163840 Share on other sites More sharing options...
