rajaspersonNormally i would agree but this seems fairly priced and if its modular on the inside it would be perfect. Why would you steer clear of this?

Chakid12Because for less money and a little time you could have this which is objectively better in every way:

thedupuisnerThe price difference here is less then $100 for the same spec computer in a much better looking case. And if its modular on the inside whats the difference? $60? Id pay that any day for this case

Chakid12Plus it looks like this pre-built has a two year warranty which is pretty great on all parts.

rennemanndSee my other response about the build and warranty. I'm not saying this is a bad computer but it's just not the great deal you may think it is (compared to other pre-builts like Alienware it probably is though). If you like the case (which I am personally not a fan of) then go for it!

thedupuisnerI'm just saying, this is a great deal for a pre-built. You say that there's a warranty for all the other parts you sourced, and you are right, but they are SEPARATE warranties. With this, no need to deal with going from manufacturer to manufacturer, when you need to use said warranty. Also, MSI is a company. They are probably much better at building, wiring, and/or assembling the computer and its pieces than the average buyer(of this drop). Not everyone has the expertise, patience, skill, or time to set up a rig like this, and even if you have all of those, you won't necessarily be able to build the computer as well. And to that other guy who was talking about being able to upgrade, you can do that here. I don't really see why you would say other wise, but like every other desktop case on the popular market nowadays, this one can be opened. It's not too hard, either, just takes a little bit of work.

Arker_1It's not really that close in price: the build I first posted (foolishly) was super premium with literally the best parts available. For a comparable build (with still premium components) you're looking at savings of about $370.00 (or three 8hr days of work at $15/hr less taxes). Building a computer and selecting the components is NOT hard with little time and patience. Also, if a rookie wants to upgrade this later they will have a rude awakening:
Not trying to be a jerk but I'm curious... Have you ever built a computer (or more importantly, lately)?
