hahahaha, i just wet myself.
try 100 of your yank bucks, MAX for a dvd writer, and that's an 8x one, not a faffy 4x one. Considering you can get a 16x one for (checks XE.com) for 145 dollars (and we get screwed over here on stuff like that, so you're probably looking at not much over the hundred dollar mark) it's not all that much of a bargain.
I can't be arsed pricing a dual opteron system (yes, we have head of them here, but thanks for the attempt at patronising us...) but judging by the prices they're asking for something as cheap and easy to install as a dvd writer, logic suggests that the rest of the system is waaay overpriced.
I just checked, and i can't even FIND a 4x sony drive for sale, just the 8s ones, and they're £44.35/$80.86 so if you bought that system, you're as silly as you come across.
Learn my hardware indeed... I've probably been building computers longer than you've been tying your own shoelaces. |
