Tigerdirect Barebone Kits

[andrey64]

So i was looking around for parts on both newegg, tigerdirect and all over amazon/ebay. I came across stuff like this barebone custom "kit" for a decent looking price. No. GPU but its a beautiful corsair case and comes with the H60.

http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1224560&CatId=5294

theres some other kits for almost same price but they run that awesome i5 2500k. Are these worth getting?

 

[madchemist83]

usually barebone systems are no a good choice ... u can bundle things though

 

[andrey64]

[madchemist83]

so what seems to be a problem ?

 

[andrey64]

theres no problem currently, i was just looking into getting a second pc and wanted to ask if its worth getting those barebone kits.

 

[madchemist83]

i don't think so .. as long as u confident u can build one it's better just picking parts for it

Barebone Kits are basically our Product Managers here at Tiger Direct taking some of the guess work out for you and bundling an optimized system at a discounted price. If you take the same items and buy individually they are usually 5-10% more.

Barebones are nice option and if you like one, let me know... I can swap the items around and still save you money. Say you want the 2TB hard drive instead of the 1TB in the kit, etc...

Anyhow, I am always here to help, so simply reach out.

That kit is pretty good, the weakest part is the 5900k hdd. Although I never trusted those water cooling kit, I would rather go with a higher end air cooler.

 

[g-unit1111]

That is not a bad deal for that kit. My system I got as a barebones kit from Tiger - only had the motherboard, CPU, and RAM - cost was $700. Had to buy everything else though.

 

[madchemist83]

the problem with those kits is that they try to push low quality components through. It would be nice to have an option of swapping components

If you like, let me know and I will swap them around for you... 😱

Well for example can i choose basically any configuration? like for example i dont want an included h50 but i would like to swap the power supply and mobo. would that work? jsut wondering because ive heard a lot of great reviews with tigerdirect and wouldn't want those good reviews to go down the drain.

 

[tigerb2b]

Absolutely.... Pretty much for any forum member, I personally will bend over backwards to get you the products you wish, with the best possible service and lowest price.

 

[madchemist83]

Ok. Can u beat microcenters 2500k+Z68 combo ? I don't think so.
Sorry but bending over will not win you any customers . Also it could be just pure scam .. where do I find those amazing deals on tigerdirect website? Or I just send money in the envelope to a P.O. Box? hehe
Prices on tigerdirect are way too high , it also lacks good deals and not just crappy product that you try to push off of shelves.
I'd rather prefer microcenter for they aggressive prices ..and Amazon for no tax deal.

ok let me know what builds are available for modding .. or do I just get one of the website?

 

[madchemist83]

Or how about this .. I'll throw a build to you and you can tell me how much approximately it will cost after taxes ( i'll guess there is none for CA) and shipping

so here it is

Gigabyte Z68 GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3 or any other Z68 board capable of x16 and x8/x8 SLI/Crossfire (Asus, Asrock or Gigabyte)
PSU - PC Power and Cooling Silencer Mk II 750W
HDD - Samsung F3
RAM - Corsair Vengeance Low Profile 8 GB PC3-12800 1600mhz
GTX 560 Ti - preferably Asus, EVGA or MSI
Case - CM 692 or HAF 922
and Windows 7 OS Home Premium 64-bit

I guess that's it ... please surprise me pleasantly

madchemist8,

Do me a favor and send over the TigerDirect items numbers you would like.
I can get you pricing much quicker.

Otherwise, I will give this a look on Monday when I am back in the office. Correct, no Tax in CA.

 

[madchemist83]

ok i'll wait till monday
