i agree, learn how to assemble the parts yourself, and your computer will rock that much more.

That's a decent price, better then what I get from my supplier, but I've learned not to trust those ebay fools...

God I hate those gay Ebay guys... they say "free shipping" in the US, but when it comes to Canda or other coutries, they won't even give you credit, and try to charge you all the shipping...

Well I am building it myself (with the help of a friend) and I live in the U.S. too so shipping would not be a problem had I boughten it online. I'm using ebay as a comparison for what I should be paying. Ebay aint all bad, there are just some bastards out there who deserve to be shot

Once you build one you'll never again buy one.It is like lego's to build simple.Now tweaking the shit out of it is a lesson learned. Nice to have you ,;et us know how it goes
