Sometimes you can get lucky on craigslist with a highend prebuilt 'custom' system.

In the same way that high end custom build companies, that sell high end assembled PC's for 3-4 grand make money, you can occasionally too, stumble upon the kid who wants bragging rights for his rig, and has money, and not the time, patience, or brain power required to build his own.

That would be lucky though, if hurting for money, would be happy with a grand, sadly, selling stuff used never gets quite what it should........

Did you price out what this would cost to build today, brand new?

Good Luck
