If its not the attention maxpc wants.. then they've probably already expected the negative feedback.. ~_~.. I had to finally register just to stick my two cents in lol.. This is a really miserably planned out power rig...

The cpu.. I agree that a Q9450 is adequate.. it does the job and for less than half the price.. a QX9650 is just too much.. even more so with the rest being just mediocre parts.. Whichever of those cpus you even choose.. do you think an air cooler can still cut it in this age? bring out the waves of a water cooler if not already thinking about liquid nitrogen..

The case.. even though it has high ratings.. it still doesn't hit par with looks.. don't tell me you want a kick ass rig looking like a budget cpu.. if not a Cosmos or ArmorPlus then at least get something you'd like to look at and feel proud of..

The rest.. cheaping out on sound card already? where's the Fatal1ty?? if not titanium then at least the Fatali1ty!! You did intend a second optical drive.. at least a, HD/bluray player right? Can we still live off 750 watts? I wouldn't want to find out.. bump it up to 1k.. what? we don't plan to upgrade anymore or shove in any more parts? This is a bad budgetted more than low budget power user rig..

Well here's my two cents.. and i hope it made more sense than I believed it to be.. if anyone agrees with this article totally.. i say you should probably stick to the budget pc for half the price...
