[QUOTE="spoonraker, post: 3221937, member: 570956"] These are the items/prices included, listed at the bottom. 1 of VoomPC-2 CarPC Enclosure ($118.99 value!) 1 of Major Brand 120GB 2.5" SATA Hard Drive ($74.99 value!) 1 of 1GB DDR2 DIMM PC2-4200 RAM ($47.64 value!) 1 of VIA C7 2.0GHz Processor Mini-ITX Express Motherboard J7F2WE2G ($194.95 value!) 1 of Panasonic Slot Load CW-8124 DVD-ROM/CD-RW Combo Drive 24x24x24 ($68.00 value!) 1 of M2-ATX 160W Intelligent DC-DC PSU ($89.94 value!) $120 for a case? Seriously...that's a TON of money for a computer case, small or not. You could fiberglass your own custom case for less than that. $75 for a 120Gb HDD? Sure it's a laptop drive, but I paid $45 for my 250Gb desktop drive. The slight size decrease isn't worth the price IMO. RAM I guess is alright, if you used a regular mobo instead of that miniITX one you could buy RAM considerably faster for less. $200 for the motherboard is pretty good. Decently powerful and tiny as hell. $70 for a CD burner? That's really expensive. DC PSUs are expensive anywhere, but it's a necessary expense, so no complaints there. Overall I'm not saying it's a rip-off, I'm just saying it's pricey for what you get. Factor in the work that you don't have to do because it's fully assembled, and I guess you can justify it.
