It's well worth the price, methinks.

Its not a real gamer's PC anyways. Most of the gamers I know opt to make it themselves if they're going for any kind of high preformance. They're overcharging too. You could make your own water-cooled PC for about $3000, or less, if you know where to get the parts. In short, its a rip-off. Just another pre-built trying to live up to all the custom machines out there.

well, you've really got to ask yourself: Is it really worth it to dish out $4,000 for a computer? Yes its got a lot of flashy things in it, like i think he said there's a radiator in there? and yes, its got 3 hd's but do you really need that many? yes its got a pci-e 6800GT 256 MB, but with technology these days, its slowly but surely becoming obsolete with the 7800GT coming out now and the newer cards coming out too.

it's really up to you. if you feel you really need a new computer and have all those things in it, then by all means go for it. ya just gotta ask yourself, is it really worth it? you could easily build a good enough pc without having to spend all that money. mine was like $800 when i built it 2 years ago and it has served me very well. since then i've upgraded to a bigger psu, a gig of ram, and went from a 5200 to a 6600GT. i've probably spent about $1000 on this machine. was it all worth it? yep.

There are literally hundreds of interesting cases you can buy. From there, it's just a matter of installing the hardware. Very easy. They're trying to capitolize on people who want a custom PC, but are too lazy or unskilled to do it themselves. Of course, its NOT a custom PC. And you dont need water cooling unless you're planning to overclock. Air cooling works quite well for a processor running at its normal speed, even at full load for long periods.
