Not sure if it was supposed to, but it showed a singe 40GB SSD and no data HD.    :headscratch:

 due to the high price of hard drives, no data drives are being included.  But you can get them as an option.

I dont like that Spek. I have a much better computer than the basic/default one listed there (819 bux), and i wasnt spending more than 650 on it (half a year ago). I have better ram, better video card, a bit worse CPU and no liquid cooling, still totally quiet tho.  True, i had to assembly it myself, but i dont mind  : )
What you want to do with that computer exactly? How much money do you have for that?

That doesn't answer the question really. And yes, you'll always be able to build a better one than buy one even from iBP or CP.

I recommend you contact TD if you want a build done to those specs or similar.  You will end up with a better system for the price, built with quality components, not "or similar" as it states on their site.

computer has no hard drive basically, so you wont be able to use it unless you buy the currently overpriced hard drives in the market.  the way it comes right now you will run out of disk space as soon as you install windows.  I see their 500 gig hd is about 100 bucks.  so plan on adding that.  unless of course you can buy a better one at your local computer store.  they way it is newegg and just about everybody else online is selling them way over priced.
