|  Is Bestbuy serious?
They have something new on their site.
"Build Your Own PC and Save." really? 
Let's compare their price to trusty newegg.com shall we? AMD 64 3500+
Bestbuy - $289 Here
Newegg - $88 Here ASUS A8N32 Mobo
Bestbuy - $249 Here
Newegg - $169 Here Antec 900 Gamer Case
Bestbuy - $159.99 Here
Newegg.com - $139.99 Here
[Three Components]
Bestbuy - $697.00
Newegg - $396.99
So, yeah as we can clearly see, you can save money building your own PC, but by shopping at newegg and NOT Bestbuy...

Wow. I almost fainted when I saw the processor though. That's triple the price, for one item.
And i just bought that exact processor too, from Future Shop, Best Buy's cousin.

At Future Shop, they asked me if I wanted their warranty.
So i said "Yeah right. As if I'm gonna trust Geek Squad with my computer".
They said they're not affiliated with Geek Squad...bullcrap. It's the same chain.

I bought my computer from Future Shop because it was very cheap. I mean cheap.
AMD Athlon 64 3500 2.2Ghz, 512MB RAM, 160GB HD, Geforce 6100 256MB
All for $370, including the speakers, mouse, keyboard.
This was pre-made from Acer...

BestBuy is only good for buying DVDs,CDs, and home appliances. everything else is very overpriced.
