My PC cost $3500 and yes it's custom designed, not an overpriced Alienware or anything. But yeah you can get a decent rig for about $700, I just don't settle for decent. I've got a lot of overkill I know but that's what I like.
Anyways. Don't necro threads and then start fighting with people. You're not gonna win any friends that way and you're just making yourself look bad. This forum is far from dead. It's one of the most active Off Topic forums I've ever seen and has one of the coolest community of folks I've ever met online.
As far as people responding quickly - a lot of us usually have this forum open in a tab in the background while we're working. So yeah, we see new threads pop up almost immediately. Hell, I have an RSS feed to this forum.
