I looked at Dell and HP and I couldn’t find anything there.
I took a quick peak at S1digital and they want 3gs for an outdated spec’d pc with two cable cards.
At Okoro you are looking at 2775 for a similar model
At Velocity Micro you are looking at 2233. I’d probably swap out he proc for a low power BE chip. But this is the best deal I could find.
And forget Niveus at 3299.
Now if we price this out on our own
250 case and PSU
150 CPU
80 RAM 2 gig
100 Gigabyte board with Onboard video and audio
150 750 gig hard drive
400 2 ati tuners. I am going off Okora selling them for 180 when adding them individually
150 Vista
100 Mouse and keyboard.
You’ll see I went on the highside for most of the pricing but we are looking at about
1400 bucks. And I also went with better and cooler procs then they had.
So they are charging anywhere from 800 to 1800 in labor. Jebus. Perhaps I am missing some sort of certification cost. If so show that line in the build.
Oh well comcast is getting ready to nail us over the next couple months. Then I’ll have to disbnad my dream of a simple to use cablecard box and extenders. For a hokey satelite connection into my Haup tuners.
I really hope MS gets their IPTV rolling out quicker.
