I priced how much it would cost to build.All the parts i priced was a step up on what is in that machine eg 16 gig quad memory not 8 gig.I priced a 800 watt power supply not a 400 watt which is fitted.The total including windows come to $2022 nz plus about $100 for fans extras etc.So $2122 nz (1728 usd).This is without a monitor.
They must rely on a name to sell it because their prices are pathetic.Me making a better computer is $1,700 nzd (1385 usd )cheaper.The $3,799 is the start base price and the price goes nuts when you put decent gear inside it.My prices are also from a computer shop and not buying in bulk like what dell would do.
I have no idea why these are so expensive but my mate will not be buying one.This is a big company selling low to medium priced parts at top end prices which it definatly is not.Shame on dell new zealand.
