So although it might not be a "supercomputer" its far from mainstream. I dont even think you have a clue what your talking about "guy".
But to justify my price:
4 LCD Monitors: $175 each = $700
1.5 Terabytes of room: $500
Computer itself: $1,000
Upgraded graphic cards: 150 each = $300
All the DVI cables: $100
Programs: easy, easy $600
Free shipping 2 days: $100
And that doesnt even include speakers, the fact its already put together and built. So before you go saying that my computer doesnt "warrant" the price. Why dont you go and do some research... retard

Your price don't mean jack ****. If you're so into the stock market, you would know that technology prices fall HEAVILY especially consumer level computers.
From what I read, you either got really ripped off buying your computer or you just love talking with dollar signs.
I just built a comp that will run circles around yours for less than 900 bucks.
If you really want this to sell, you would probably want to put the specs up (if you know any of them)
**** there needs to be more people like you in Boston so I can rip more of them off.
Btw, when did "Free Shipping 2 Days" = $100 bucks? lol

Is it multiple a HDD setup that's in RAID-0?
It would be useful if you list all the information on your computer, and please, don't get so offensive.

I thought free meant.............. free?

Yeah just like everything else you buy when it says free or cheap shipping. Its worked into the cost of the item. You say its free so the customer feels they are getting a better deal. The only reason i even put the 100 in there was to show that its not a rip off and the people who think it is have problems

Some quick price justifications before i leave for the day:
I know some places are cheaper and more expensive, i just am using the first link i find to everything.
4 - 19" westinghouse widescreen LCD monitors: http://www.pcuniverse.com/product.as...160638&m_id=32
$217 each so 4 would = $868
2- Nvidia gforce 7900gs: http://www.directron.com/gse79gsa1.html
$180 each so 2 would be = $360
500gb external HD- http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage....=1185267958041
$220
200gb external hd- $100
other 800gb internal hdds +/- $300
This is the prices of the items if ordered today.
The total is 1800 bucks just for those items, that doesnt even include the computer itself. You can argue that the items are used, yeah they are used for a few months but only for a few hours a day. Everything is in perfect shape. And you cannot argue that the items are old and outdated, the prices i got are from today if you wanted to order them. You can check it out yourself.
So please unless you have a question about this item please do not post. I do not care if you think its a bad deal, or your computer is better or your wifes cheating on you and you are looking to vent someplace. Please just only post if you are interested. nno more garbage. Thanks

ok I will jump in here because I have built computers for myself, friends and even sold a few. I have an MSDN subscription as well as a technet subscription.
What we have is a "retail" comparison vs wholesale. Unfortunately, computer parts much like audio and many other disposable goods (hard to believe but yes disposable) have an incredible depreciation rate.
You might do well to list the actual model numbers of the CPU, Ram,hard drives and burners because they can easily increase or decrease the value of your sale. I can pick up a white box version of the very latest burner for $29 each. I would suggest un-bundling your monitors as well as most probably wont have the need or want for that many
My suggestion to end this litany of posts is to adjust your original post and lighten up from the words "super computer" Your 7900 cards alone can be beat by a 8600GS that costs close to the same or less. Again, not trying to rub salt in your eye but I suggest talking another 30% off your price and you will have adjusted for market. I suspect something that you in your area of expertise understands.
