And I posted, because maybe someone in here would want to buy one, that didn't see this on his blog.

Alienware computers (which are ironically overpriced) are mass produced. Ben's things are one of a kind, a limited supply. And they're obviously priced low enough for people to keep him with a job.

The fact that Ben can make a living doing this refutes your argument.MigueLLLLL wrote:i can buy an alien ware for cheaper than those prices and there really really good quality , and to the average person? i think you mean to the hardcore old school players or collectors i know no one that would pay that much

Re: Have Benheck make you a portable!
no were are not wrong, one ever said he can't, we all know he does but i think he would have way more buyer's if he lowered them between the 1,000 to 4,000 range and not 3,000 to 10,000eagle5953 wrote:The fact that Ben can make a living doing this refutes your argument.MigueLLLLL wrote:i can buy an alien ware for cheaper than those prices and there really really good quality , and to the average person? i think you mean to the hardcore old school players or collectors i know no one that would pay that much

Re: Have Benheck make you a portable!
more buyers, but lots more work. He doesn't want to constantly make 360 laptops for everyone and make the same profit. He's not hurting, so why would he lower the price and create more work for himself?
He likes doing unique projects that offer him more of a challenge anyway.

It takes a big man to cry, but it takes a bigger man to laugh at that man.
