![]() That ABS system at Newegg does look very crisp! - of course you'll have to add a monitor to it, but still should be under the Falcon pricing. Maybe the difference is that the Talon still leaves room for expansion later, and you're paying extra for that? I'm glad to see the Tiki came out cheaper, though I'm not sure why since usually equivalent performance in a smaller form factor tends to increase the price somewhat. So now it looks like the choice is between Falcon NW and assembling one NewEgg.God help me NewEgg is having a big Black Friday sale.ĭid you rebuild your specs with the Fragbox? Just curious. I just don't want to be foolish with this kind of money and drop it when I can save potentially thousands at NewEgg.another vendor I trust. I don't splurge often on very many things and am pretty frugal, because I have to be.īut right now, I agree with you that Falcon looks great and is worth the price - not just for the machine but for the expertise they appear to have and the support they offer on everything. I just wanted the gold standard this time, since until now I have always settled. One is 10 years old and still boots up without issue every single time for my older daughter. I have iBuyPower/Cyberpower systems still running in my house right now and never had any complaints. If I price out even their smaller systems like a Fragbox or a Tiki (which I forgot existed), I am heavily leaning that way. I've been on Falcon's site for an hour and get that they are definitely the better choice than Alienware. Or do I go to NewEgg and build something there? Haven't tried that yet. So I come to you all - I need the opinions of peeps here before I spend that kind of money. It would be several hundred dollars with Alienware. Warranty/insurance - which I usually waive on most things but would get here because of the cost of these machines - is 'standard' with Falcon Northwest for three years. With monitor and shipping the total cost would be ~4500.00 on both. The components include an NVidia 3080, extra memory, dual drives, liquid cooling, etc. So I have just built a Falcon Northwest Talon online, and yesterday built an Alienware Aurora.īoth come out to a pretty penny for the builds I want, more than I have ever spent on a rig. Building my own is no longer an option with the whole family home - I just don't have the time. ![]() With Black Friday cracking early this year, I have received clearance to purchase my new rig a few days early. I embrace my disease by picking the brains of you fine peeps here to get your opinions. Ok so we all know JH is sick and he needs help.
