| I certainly feel that I wasn't ripped off when in Feb this year, HP sold me this Omen desktop (https://www.hp.com/gb-en/shop/products/desktops/omen-35l-gam...) with a 9800x3d, rtx5080, 2TB SSD and 128GB?! of Kingston fury ram for £2700... with four years interest free credit... it's now selling for £2300 more than when I bought it... I didn't even want 128GB of ram... it just came with the pre-built spec I chose... I feel like they sold me the GPU and half the ram, and then threw in the rest for free! it's my deal of the decade... half wish I'd stretched for the one with the 5090 now... :) |

| Well, whether or not its a "good deal" depends on how much you value the OEMs efforts to select, test, assemble, and support the parts. I say this as some one who has been building computers for myself and others since I was like 17, and working on them longer- and I have charged a fair amount of money for these services. I think what I charged was fair, too. |
