Shinobee vs self built

[Kaldenur]

Hello!

I am on the fence with whether I should build my own PC or buy it from this site*. I did a rough number crunch and took the "cheapest" parts for every single part in order to duplicate shinobee's specs.

Self-built replica: ca. 1040 euros (cheap stuff such as graphic card zotac gtx 970 for 323 euros, PSU for 40 euros etc.)

*Shinobee PC: http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B00P7S2YTA/ref=gno_cart_title_0?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A2PMBAYX6G8IJ

How is it possible that they got it so much cheaper? Mass production? If some of you tech savvy people can help out a newcomer, that would be great!

Kind regards,

Kaldenur

I've done breakdowns of parts one for one and home built is always cheaper unless you buy from a store like Best Buy where they sell parts at just about full retail.

Since parts vary in price from region to region, you'll need someone from your area to look at it, just a direct currency conversion won't work.

You can go to Tiger Direct and pick out components and either you can build it or they will build it for you. I believe Newegg does the same thing. I'm not sure if they would do it internaltionally.
