Woa, these seem waaaaaay to good to be true...there must be something else wrong with them. Like buying a used car that turns out to be a lemon.

It's Canada is why.

First one has an ugly case. If you try to remove the parts, they will self-destruct.

The second one also has this issue, but the people who made the case quickly realized how ugly yellow is. Select red and the price will go back up to $2,100.

By the way, they're not crap~ They're preeeetty good by most standards.

Lol, how the heck did they put those prices on them.

ONLY $649 for that? o_O How is it only $649...I'd stick at least another $400-500 on that :P Liquid Cooling doesn't exactly come cheap, rest of the parts in that are certainly more than $649, even in Canadian Dollars o_o

Either they screwed up and it's only the case, or someone over there is high. I would buy this right now if I had the space for it.

With shipping and tax it comes to less than 70$.

The fixed the price!

I wonder what about the people that already bought it.

Yeah I wonder what happens to those who already paid.
I almost bought it but didn't because I have no room for it :(

Whenever I see companies with messups like this, they usually cancel any orders placed during the mislabeled period.
