We grew up and decided having the convenience of a not having to build our own PCs and the 2 year warranty (with just one company) was worth it.

I've RMA'd so much shyt (if you follow my shyt on here you know I have the worst luck with tech), and having to RMA with only 2 companies (Cyberpower PC and Nvidia [for my Titan X Ps)), with a 2 year warranty, is worth it to me.

I don't mind spending the extra $300-$500 for the convenience. I'll have a super, super computer (cuz my current one, to be honest, is still a super computer ) without having to bother with RMAing RAM from one company, RMAing my MOBO from a different company, and RMAing my cooling from another company, etc., etc..

I've grown up and no longer want to build my shyt anymore. It is what it is.

I want some quick and easy shyt. All I have to do with the system I just bought is:
-install my 2 gpus
-install my 2 hdds
-buy and install a pcie ssd
-check the overclock and maybe push it further.

I dunno what to say. I've moved on from buying everything from newegg/amazon, etc., and building it myself. Ain't nobody got time for that shyt anymore.

I'm just fooling. I get random tremors so the days of me putting my own shyt together is long gone.

I've been telling people this for a long time.

Ok dude sure you got some sick RGB/Blinged out desktop super computer, but guess what I'm in my 30s now. IDGAF about keeping tabs on my water cooling solution, temp monitoring or all that other shyt anymore. I just want to turn it on, crank it up and KIM.

I feel the same way. I still order the parts online to save money, but I pay the dudes at the shop to build it.

I had some Klipsh 4.1 for like 10 years. shyt is the exact same design, but

I even turned my brother on to them. He loves 'em and he's a near audiophile.

I switched out to a non-subwoofer setup (Creative) cuz my sub on my Klipsch was too loud, but Klipsch are the truth.

Yeah i dont care for audio speakers cuz i mainly use headphones when gaming on my pc, but these klipsch were well regarded for a long ass time. Saw it on craigslist yesterday and figured why not.

Definitely worth its normal price. The subwoofer makes me want to watch movies on my pc now

Decent means a lot of different things to people...it really depends on what you are after.
