Vincent you really seem to have a problem with facts, When i say 1450-1550$
that is what it will cost me, this is not a question if i am telling the truth
or not it is a simple fact! given the extreme prices and concerns you post, this
system would cost more that 3000$ i agree, but the prices where i live are much
lower than what you posted, infact i have spend 700$ and what i need to get the
system up and running amounts to  aprox. 750$, except you got me worried about
the power supply so i have to check that out, but 700+750= 1450$ that's the
facts!!
