Now you overpaid a little George, sorry man.
Basically the same as the $849 one with a better video card ($300-$350).
So about $120 worth more than the original one.


About $1000 worth of parts to build the one you bought.
Would have saved about $300 to build it.


And I see that original one that was on sale for $849 is now up to $999.
So that is why it was not much savings over building it. It was a decent sale.

Oh well. Having it done is worth the $300 to me. I don't think I'd have the patience to build one

I have it and it is by far the best sports coverage I have ever had. The national coverage as well as the local is just awesome. They are loaded with writers.

I thought the same thing but The Athletic is so good. I think its 50 bucks a year. I also pay for 247 sports and ESPN Insider until it switched to ESPN+

100%, especially for your dad who must like sports and probably grew up with sports journalism like this more than the twitter type content you get now
