I recently picked some specs for a new PC I want to build for myself and with the help of the community. I just found that I could buy it all done for about $100 extra from Digital Storm for the same specs (http://www.digitalstormonline.com/comploadvanquish.asp?id=822945&price=%241%2C399)
I don't want to waste my time doing this all if it's only costing me that much more... what do you guys think?
