Systems and prices are current as of Feb 27th, 2012
All pre-configured systems include a DVD burner and ample system cooling. All systems are covered by a 2-year warranty on parts and labour, from the date of delivery, unless otherwise specified. Please note, I do not do ridiculous “sales” events, what you see here is my everyday price. Discounts are offered on bulk (5+) orders.
I only use high-quality, name-brand components. You’ll find no expense spared in a Fnarg PC!
- FAQ: How long does it take to order ?
Most systems are built to order. The average turnaround time, once payment is received, is 7 to 10 days, with the exception of the Big Reaper and Wall Street which may take longer due to the exotic components. This includes a full day of extensive testing to ensure top reliability and performance. - FAQ: Where’s the monitor ?
The systems listed below do not include a monitor, keyboard, mouse or any other peripheral. If you need a monitor or any accessories, just ask! Please note that all these systems have DVI and HDMI outputs, so you can skip the monitor and plug directly into your nice big HDTV. Crysis on a 50″ Plasma ? Why the hell not?
- FAQ: Where’s the Operating System ?
The systems listed below do not include an operating system. You may install your own, or I can preinstall a Windows 7 OEM license at a reduced price, which includes a recovery DVD. Please note the OEM license is tied to your motherboard and cannot be installed on a different PC. For the Lurker, I recommend Windows 7 32-bit Home Premium ($95), all others systems are best paired with Windows 7 64-bit Professional ($120) or Ultimate ($165) to handle the extra RAM. Ubuntu Linux is also available, free of charge. - FAQ: What about Blu-Ray ?
You can upgrade to a Pioneer or LG Blu-Ray burner for $100 more. - FAQ: What is Billco’s personal PC ?
- FAQ: How low can you go (the El Cheapo system) ?
Please note these systems can by fully customized to your exact desires, just tell me what you’d like.
All prices are in Canadian dollars. Located in Ottawa, Ontario.

Billco’s PC: “Crush2“
Components
- Dual Intel Xeon Nehalem 12 Cores at 2.80ghz
- Supermicro X8DTH-6
- 48.0gb DDR3-10666
- Antec P193 chassis
- Corsair AX1200 power supply
- EVGA GeForce GTX 295 Co-op Quad-SLI
- OCZ Revodrive X2 240gb boot drive, Velodrive 300gb VM storage, 4 x 1000gb data drive
- Two Dell U2711 27″ LCDs
Why is it so damned ridiculous ? So I can virtualize an entire server rack, developing and testing enterprise clusters. That is my primary field of expertise, after all.
Total value (as new): ~$11500 CAD
Billco’s VM server: (leftovers from my Crush2 upgrade)
Components
- Intel Core i7 4 Cores at 3.06ghz
- Gigabyte EX58-UD5 board
- 24.0gb DDR3-12800

- PC Power & Cooling Silencer 910w power supply
The El Cheapo ($375 CAD)
By (un)popular demand!
This is as low as I can possibly go for a new system. Does it suck ? A little.
For the small difference, you would be MUCH better off with The Lurker, but I won’t twist your arm.
Components
- AMD 3.0ghz Dual-Core processor
- 2.0gb DDR2-667
- Basic black mini-tower and no-name 400w power supply
- 500gb hard drive
