Ends at 10PM PT. Tech.woot! has the Dell Alienware Aurora R3 Core i7 Quad Core Desktop for $1000 + $5 shipping = $1005 shipped.
Overclocked Core i7-2600K Quad 3.9GHz, 6GB DDR3, 2TB HDD
NVIDIA GeForce GT 545 1GB graphics, DVD+RW, Win 7 HP x64
$1005
$1005 for an old CPU, only 6 gig of RAM, and a budget video card? I don't think so.
Agreed with Know_cents- the gpu and the psu are both underpowered and underwhelming much like obama's presidency. I would say near impotent.
2nd Gen CPU, only 1GB on the video card for 1K?
If it was the current Aurora version, R4, it may be worth it for the quad-channel memory and a motherboard that actually supports true quad channel. This, unfortunately, is the R3 - outdated and overpriced.
I think they are counting on the cool sounding name and space craft looking case to sell these.
