PC DIY? Which is well...next door to Box Hill's MSY anyway so I assume you can't go to that area since you're asking specifically for not MSY. In that case, which location are you looking near exactly?

In general, I doubt it. PC DIY has certain things cheaper than MSY, but still yeh, I think MSY is generally the cheapest. However computer stores always have specials and stuff so you'll need to do a bit of research perhaps to find the cheapest at a given time.

How the hell did you rack up 5k when you're building it yourself =\ My computer's pretty decent and it came just to 1.3k or so this year.
