    the only reason i would pay for this is maybe the warranty

    How do you even begin to attempt to warranty a system which you blantantly overclock beyond the cpu's normal parameters.

    joe schmoe: "hello tech support, my 2.8ghz overclocked to 3ghz is fried"

    tech support: "Why did you overclock it?"

    Joe: "Because that's why I paid 4k dollars for an l33t system that I probably could have built for myself for 100 bucks."

    Tech support: "Yeah.. I'm going to have to ask you to not call us again."
