    Okay, not sure what you mean by "(-294)" next to the i7 930 item, but if you meant +294 meaning $294, you should make sure there isn't a MicroCenter near you first. They can be had for $199.99 plus sales tax.

    Actually, I'm quite confused by this. The numbers don't seem logical, even in a different currency. They don't compare well.

    sorry .. let me explain.
    i started out going to newegg and placing items into cart
    then compared to a custom built unit from cyberpower pc. the cost from them came out less. I wanted to do the build my selft but the cost was better getting it from cyberpower and letting them do the build. what you see is a copy and paste of what i am thinking about getting from cyberpower. i down graded from a i7-975 to the 930 and that is why you see the -294. in otherwords the 930 is 294 buck cheeper .. or looking at it the other way i can go from a 930 to a 975 for an extra 294 bucks. for the money i thought better to go with a better video card like the ati 5870 over the 5850 and stay with the 930

    thanks
