| Hey, i was wondering if anyone would be able to tell me if this computer is worth the 1600 Cad, and how much exactly it would cost to get the same computer, if i ordered the parts and put them together, including the os (I cant torrent it).

| You can always build a desktop cheaper than prebuilt.

Case + Labor are a good $400~600
And the computer its self is probably worth 600~1000
So yeah.

Looking at the specs, I'd say about 1.2 - 1.4k USD if you were to build it yourself.

How much labor does it really take to screw in the mobo to the case, and then connect the psu to everything? I mean really, its not like they are building a house, or fixing a car.

Not a lot - but it does take care, and at least decent knowledge of the inside of a PC - and they have to make a profit somehow, do they not? If they didn't, it wouldn't be called a business.
