#825 - Puget Liquid Cooled Gaming Computer Video Review

I built a custom one on their website, and it's about $11,000 xD.

dell bought Alienware out as financially the company was struggling.

ah

Just curious, I build my own PCs anyway. Prebuilts are rip offs

noisy :P

I don't understand how Digital Storm can over charge $2500-$3500 when the computer costs under $2,000 to begin with.

I have Digital Storm, Cyberpower, Maingear, Alienware, AddictPC, VigorGaming, AvA direct, Puget Systems, Ibuypower, Velocitymicro, Falcon-NW, New Egg, and Tiger direct all book marked. I would be really interested in the list of your components. I trust no body.

Its not idiotic to "not" build your own. I challenge you to configure your pc on Digital storms web site, making sure to remember everything you'll need (including operating system). Then try to purchase those items on new egg. Then factor in Shipping. For me in Alaskanew egg wanted to charge me 40 dollars to send a 49 dollar printer. Many computer makers will ship for free. Believe me I have tried many times to justify making my own.

Trust me I've looked at the Digital Storm website, and it's clear they are the highest quality custom built gaming pc website out there. However, like every other company, they are ridiculously overpriced. Configuring the exact same system that I have built, it would cost me $2500-$3000 more than what it cost me to build on my own. And it wouldn't even be quite as good, because they don't use the nice bitspower compression fittings or the best radiators, and they don't use murdermod sleeving.

List your components. The computer I have configured Costs $1700 on Cyber power, $2200 on Digital Storm $2080 on Puget Systems. If I try to purchase everything needed from New Egg...I end up in the 2500 range. I would hardly call that ridiculously overpriced.
