that stuff was $150-200 delivered if you buy from taobao.com.
people also need to realize that dual e5-2670v1 has a cinebench score of 2,000, that is just slightly highly than a single ryzen 1800x.

- lucaspiller 9y agoYes if you want something that needs the fastest CPU you probably don't want this machine, but in that case you are probably willing to spend a lot more. The laptop I upgraded from had a score of 250, so for me it's a big difference. I checked prices for sourcing my own hardware on the same platform, but it would have been a lot more expensive. The problem here in Europe is there is less second hand enterprise hardware available (if I remember correctly, a compatible motherboard alone would have been ~€200, and the RAM was about the same) and importing something from outside Europe means you need to pay customs fees, which in my country adds ~30% to the price.
