Rip-off. Build your own and save alot of money for a way better system. If you dont know how to build one then i suggest getting a barebone system and install your own hard drive/video card becuae they are easy to do so.

Well depends on where you get the prices. I always get my prices from newegg because they have really low prices good service and usually free shipping. I always frown on refurbed computers because you don't know why they were sent back. And there are usually more problems than the one fixed. If you buy a computer, you get the warranty on the full computer and usually manufacturer warranties on individual parts are void.
