Is it just me or do you all think this PC is remarkably cheap for what your getting?

Am I missing something?

It's not that cheap.

You could build it for less. Thought the price makes me wonder about the quality of many of the components, especially the PSU.

I could build that same system here for 350 dollars less, with an antec case with truepower 400w PSU.

remember no OS either.

The Antec Truepower 400W supplies tend to be a bit shit.

Seems ok... need more info though, especially as the seller just sold a "5.6GHz Processor"

Yeah, the seller doesn't seem to know what he's talking about. He advertises a 3.2GHz dual core as a 6.4GHz CPU.

Or, maybe - and just maybe, Moore's Law doesnt apply to power sellers?!

theoretically it is X2 the speed, but it can never be achieved. So whilst it is 'false' advertising no one (or ebay) really cares, as long as he writes '2.7x2' or whatever.
