I made my current PC, which is excellent, btw, for under $1k almost a year ago now. It was a brand new PC from scratch, which yeah, you do have to do every few years. It's starting to show its age (as in, I can't run every game released at it's max settings, all games are still playable btw) so now it's time to upgrade the video card, MAYBE get some more RAM. That'll run me $200 at the most.
Check out the value gaming PC at www.sharkyextreme.com, those guys know what they're doing.
Also, never, ever, EVER buy anything brick and mortar. Online prices are generally HALF of what you see in stores, which is scary and ridiculous.
HA! HA! I AM USING THE INTERNET!!1

I'd guess it has to do alot with renting/buying premium retail space for the Brick and Mortar stores. The online guy can rent some dirt cheap warehouse and by a ton of components at a lower price. The B&M usually sells prebuilt hardware and components alone are more because he has to pay for his overhead.
Exactly. Same thing for banks, Chux. One of the reasons online banks like ING can generally offer more attractive interest rates than B&M based banks is because they have less overhead to pay for.
