those systems are only good for n00bs who have no clue about watercooling, building their own system, and have loads of $$$$

Looks overpriced.
Their are a direct competition to the likes of Alienware.
They look quite good o me in erms of aesthetics, use some igh spec equipment but you are paying the price for all of it being custom done for ya. DIY with the same h'ware is going to be ~50% cheaper and possibly beter performing. For £2000 I could put together a system outperforming all but the top one of theirs (due to massive prices for EE chips...). With AMD rig it is gonna be even cheaper :)

They look nice but what's the fun in buying a PC thats already overclocked... I recommend DIY, thats more fun and a lot cheaper

Honestly its not that hard, you just have to kinda dive in to it so to speak. Just remember to do it carefully. You don't want to drip liquid on all your hardware. Just do some reading and posting and you'll be set. I think home built is the way to go as far as for a hobby and for something to do. It will cost less and be fun, and you can custom tailor it to what you need.
When you are all done, you can take pics to show what all your work has accomplished and show them to us and be proud.
This is what I did, but have made a few small changes since then and am in need of fan shrouds for propper air flow. Until then, I have opted for just the pull instead of the push pull.
