Re: Never mind
 

Spending 2600 (including monitor)/3500 is acceptable if you need a very powerful business workstation. Otherwise, WTF?

Even spending 500 on a GPU, 500 on a monitor, 500 on a CPU, 200 on RAM, I still can't see spending 2600.

BTW, jjshabado, where would you go to buy a new desktop?

Here is basically what he got plus 4-year warrenty and some other [censored] and you get $2600:
