Building your own from scratch is more fun. I figure out what I want, what I want to spend; read the reviews; find the best prices, and get it. Pick up some extra stuff for when things break down, and start planning early for the next build. ...Probably not what you want to hear, or not even something that applies to you, but it’s the only thing I have to say when it comes to getting computers. ...I hope you get things worked out.
Thanks pallis.
We are looking at that option or having a local person build one for us.
