Looks like a killer rig you have put together. If you don't mind me asking, what kind of ballpark figure are we looking at for a similar rig? I have heard of substantial savings when building yourself, but would like to have an idea of how much.
I think the grand total was somewhere around $2200. At least $1000 less than a similarly-equipped Dell or Alien.
