    That looks a little expensive for $1000 though I haven't really kept up with prices too much in recent times.

    Did you design this on newegg?

    No just the tower; i already have a 42 in LCD that i can use for my monitor and a wireless mouse/keyboard

    Nope designed at Cyberpower rigs, some company my friend told me about when he showed me his PC. I was just browsing on what i could get for about $1000

    That is a good computer, but you could definitely get it cheaper if custom built. It really depends if you want the piece-of-mind having a support center/warranty if something goes wrong.

    Personally, I think that's an amazing deal for only 1000. I'd definately take the chance If I had the money, but as tharoux said...zer0 will be here shortly. I can smell it.

    Thats a really decent price, but you have to take into mind, Does it have a warranty, is it refurbished or new, ect.
