A friend and I built a top-notch system from scratch about 5 years ago for about $1000 -- I bought all the parts at various places (including newegg) and I'm still using it right now.
But I was looking for something quick and easy, and Tiger said "Ships in 24 Hours" (but it's been 48+ hours now
) I usually love Tiger's speed and prices, but I guess their Systemax division isn't so quick. :/
