    90% of the things I own are custom, why not my PC?

    i know how to do it and already did one for my friend but never did it for myself personally as i leave PC altogether about a year ago for laptop. But yeah i'll definetely custom build my PC if i want one. It's cheaper and more personal, please you get an ice breaker for geek talk :D

    I have also always built my desktops, and have had to do my own repair work on laptops (tricky).

    I'm building my PC's ever since. It's very affordable buying by parts rather than a complete package.

    You should always build your own computer, I think anyone can do it. Even if you never have, you should do it as it gives you experience to do it in the future. There is plenty of help on the net when you venture out building your own computer.

    Custom. Hands down.

    Custom pc retailers are now selling computers at the prices you can just buy the parts for. FTW!

    I'm not sure if it's cheaper to build a PC vs. buying one these days, unless you're doing a high-end gaming PC or server.

    But, it is more fun, and you know exactly what's inside your box at the end of the day.

    Buying Windows licenses is a pain in the ass though. If copies of XP were $50 bucks, I'd probably have windows on more machines.

    Never buy brand names, there just rip-offs! Build your own, it's easy!

    I prefer building my own PC, it's much better than brand ones that comes with a ton of useless integrated softwares.
