Origin PCs

[MrAlbertrocks]

Are they any different from other prebuilt gaming PCs sellers like alienware? 

 

I already have my gaming PC that i built myself, but I've just been hearing a lot lately about Origin PCs. What do you guys think?

Yeah, origin is more "custom" than alienware. Other people like CyberPowerPC, NCIX, etc. actually do custom builds for you, including watercooling, specific parts that may not be the default, etc. 

Companies like alienware offer far less flexibility (and usually value).

 

And then building your own is best because it's fun. And cheaper. And fun.

pre-built = no go for me

Its fine from looking at reviews and such..

 

But if you already built your own and know how to built your own, why do you care?

Cos caring is good

I think Digital Storm has the finest computers of the lot, but i suppose anything is better than Alienware nowadays eh (valuewise and pieces inside wise)?

 

Altough, they did make a 13 inch OLED laptop, so respect for that:

Id argue alienware is more custon than orgin. 

 

Orgin is just off the shelf parts put into their own boxes, while alienware/dell make there own boards.

Custom in the sense that they'll watercool or paint for you, Alienware won't

I checked Origin's website and it is extremely expensive. I tried to recreate my build and it ended up costing about 800-1000$ more. And that's using a founders edition GPU instead of a custom one. I don't see how is that any better than the overpriced alienware PCs.

Yes, it is still at a premium. that being said I have found deals for these type of sites where the extra cost is much less, closer to 100 or so. 

 

But I still say build your own, it's SOOO much better. Especially if you're like me and simply building is fun, regardless of the PC that you end up with

They actually built and designed their cases that they use

[ScaryFatKidGT]

Honestly I would rather buy an Alienware or a MSi or Aser prebuilt that has custom cases, and toolless upgradability vs Origin/ibuypower/cyberpower, you might as well just go to microcenter pick out everything you want and pay them $100 to build it all.
