xxJENGAxx 110$ for CPU and GPU? Compared to good cpu's and gpu's that is next to garbagePretty sure it's custom. They also buy it for millions of consoles, which gives them a discount.

Was't it the same with the xbox 360? Though they were only making like $50 out of every xbox 360 they make & the real money is in the games not the console?
