Before the Apple flame war starts, I honestly think Gigabyte's G1 GTX 970, EVGA's Z97 motherboards and Intel's SSDs are.

How are Intel SSDs over priced? They cost just like most SSDs...

Printer Ink is still stupid expensive

 

 

Damn printer ink. 

You can just buy ink once and just keep getting refills at costco or walgreens or somewhere...

Intel CPU's, especially the I7 range.

300 bucks isn't much, compared to Xeons especially

Specs: 4790k | Asus Z-97 Pro Wifi | MX100 512GB SSD | NZXT H440 Plastidipped Black | Dark Rock 3 CPU Cooler | MSI 290x Lightning | EVGA 850 G2 | 3x Noctua Industrial NF-F12's

Bought a powermac G5, expect a mod log sometime in 2015

Corsair is overrated, and Anime is ruined by the people who watch it

I wrote that comment a long time ago, I disagree with my comment now as prices have changed.

apple. iphone 6 costs 200 dollars to manufacture, sells for <700 to 800+

Your point is? All major phone manufacturers sell their devices for a large profit. maybe except for Motorola and Nokia.

I got mine for like 240€. I still find 200 quite much considering you can get 1080p monitors for 100€.

Very useful for a non-American. 

 

Plus the legit cartridges have lasted our printer longer + been less messy. 

Our Grace. The Feathered One. He shows us the way. His bob is majestic and shows us the path. Follow unto his guidance and His example. He knows the one true path. Our Saviour. Our Grace. Our Father Birb has taught us with His humble heart and gentle wing the way of the bob. Let us show Him our reverence and follow in His example. The True Path of the Feathered One. ~ Dimboble-dubabob III
