Why does Hewlett Packard want so much for a computer on their web site?
I figured that it would be cheaper to go to the source. The price escalated rapidly as I "configured" my choice of computers. I think I found a better deal at one of the "Big Box" stores. Why do they want so much! I mean I am beating down their door to trade with them and they like, insult me over price.

any website you custom build a computer it will go through the roof, somtimes you are better off just going to bestbuy, but they also seem to tack on quite a bit of money aswell

If you want a custom computer and know exactly what you want and how to put it together, you can actually get a great deal buying the parts and building it yourself. That's what my husband ended up doing. Now he's getting the parts together for a water cooling system since the fan he has is very loud. You might also want to look into getting a cheaper base model computer and swapping out parts. Drives, RAM, etc... are really easy to swap out. You can then turn around and sell the pieces on eBay. You probably won't get all of your money back, but it can soften the blow of the expenses considerably. Customization doesn't come cheap. When you deviate from an established configuration, that means they have to build your computer specially, which does cost them more. If you can customize it yourself, you'll save loads and you can get the exact components you want. Ordering online is often cheaper than going to the store and buying things too. We do a lot of research and comparison before purchasing, especially electronics. Good Luck!

Our buddy 'Andrea F' has gave you a good answer. Your experience this scenario because most of the parts you preferred, they were manufactured by Hewlett Packard for a better computing integrity on their products. That's make you hard to determine a reasonable price from your budget, yet the PC you have configured manually will be safe to use and providing stable and on-demand performance for your works. Trying to assembly a new PC manually you will have to study manually and armed with experience. As the basic you have to start collecting information for each kind of PC component e.g. Processor, Motherboard(Chipset and additional capability) and so on. It needs skill to make sure all the components you used will work and function together, this will take time for a beginner and you may meet challenge and failure. Try to look around other HP model or even other manufacturers. It's good if you have time to browse through Processor & Chipset manufacturer website e.g. Intel (http://www.intel.com) and AMD (http://www.amd.com), reading on these relevant information will greatly helping you to make your decision. Best Regards. ;-)

Because HP is a supplier/Manufacturer and will not undersell their customers. Such as Walmart, Best Buy etc. by selling higher you will see the bargain of buying locally making HPs retailers happy as well as HP.Besides you wouldn't want to upset the big W as a customer would ya.
