Yes btw, you are right about the ready-built rigs not costing what they are worth and yes you will indeed get a lot more for your money by building it yourself. My question is, can you?

I can, I built up my current rig from scratch...but it's not a process I really enjoy though hehe. But the thing with package bundles is, theres always something that gets shafted..usually the graphics card. Speaking of which, how well are they cooled? The rig I looked at has i think 5 internal fans, so I'd think thats enough to keep a crossfire/SLI configuration adequately cooled. Never done that, mind you, but I hear it boosts performance very noticeably, so would like to try it out this time.
Also need to check what the deal is with my mobo back home...I might get away with only replacing the processor and get a pair of graphics cards(I was thinking to buy another geforce 8800 GTX or whatever I have now, but I can't seem to find it at any online computer stores for some reason...) That would save me tons of money, and leave me only needing to sell two parts, which should sell fairly easy.
Though I have to admit, now I'm really itching to sell it all and build up from scratch
