Seriously, these fucking turning point gaming rig posts is making me go fucking nuts. I avoided the cblogs for a week thinking that they would have stopped and there are still 15 coming in every day. I am going to go fucking crazy. There has to be some other way to give away computers that cost more that twice as much as they are worth. Seriously, Falcon Northwest is worse than Dell when it comes to overpricing their high end PCs.
I mean, I just don't even understand who would buy those fucking computers. I know they sell those Velocity Micro computers in Best Buy stores so I imagine the only people that would ever buy one are really rich people that just tell the dude at the store that they want the best PC that they have so they sell them the Velocity Micro that comes with the Core 2 Quad and dual nVidia 8800GTs or some stupid shit like that.
Because honestly, no real gamer would ever spend $5k on a pre-built PC and then wait 3-4 weeks to get the fucking thing. Anybody who plays games enough that they want to be able to play Crysis at 2560x1600 resolution with all the settings set to max should know that buying a manufactured computer is a waste of money. They should at least have some knowledge of newegg and either know how to build a computer or have a friend that knows how to build a computer.
And I can understand that people would want to win one of these computers for free but honestly, if I got one of those things, I would just sell the fucker because I could build a better rig for $3000, and that includes buying a monitor. I mean, that thing doesn't even have DDR3 RAM, if you are spending $5000 you better have DDR3 RAM in the fucker.
So, can anybody please explain to me why these computers even exist and who the fucktards are that are buying them and allowing a piece of shit company like Falcon Northwest to stay in business?

Capitalism thrives on people finding new ways to spend their money, whether they need a new way or not.

Oh, and they like the fact that they look pretty.
It frustrates me even more that fuckers like Falcon Northwest are taking advantage of those fucking retards by convincing them they are buying the best thing ever and charge them an extremely high premium for it.
I mean, when you buy a really nice BMW or a Lexus, it fucking shows. Those cars are way nicer that a $15k Honda or Toyota. But spending $5k on a Falcon Northwest would be the equivalent of spending $30 on a Honda Civic, you would have to find a fucking retard to do that.
I want the rig, but I'd spray paint it black before I even switched it on.
They aren't... right?
I'd fucking love a PC like that, because my crap heap PC struggles to play games that are a few years old. This PC will be able to play all the games I'm missing out on right now, like Portal, COD4, TF2, Crysis.....
Suppose that makes me a moron, right?
@Morrius, "No-one is that bothered with DDR3 at the moment because DDR2 is so much cheaper."
I agree that not many people would buy DDR3 RAM right now because it is overpriced. But my point was that if you are buying a $5k computer, it better fucking have DDR3 RAM in it.
@others, I understand that most of you wouldn't pay for this computer and just want to get it for free, I am with you on that. Honestly, you will prolly see me put up my entry in a couple of days just because I have been too lazy to take a picture of my computer. I would totally take that PC for free, and then sell it of course in order to buy a better computer by building my own.
This was just my angry rant for the day/week.
