Damn strait. I'm a bit of a comuputer junkie I'll tell you all right now but computers are very simple to put together. They dont require any special skills. I recommend anyone who has an interest in getting a computer, to research the best components and build one yourself. In the long run you will get more computer for your buck. I use www.Pricewatch.com. I built a system back in 99 and it's still working like a charm with just a few minimal upgrades in the ram. I used to recommend Gateway, and i guess i still do for anyone who does not want to build their own, though they seem to be slowly moving away from being securly founded in the US. When the labor starts moving overseas completely I wont recommend them any longer. anyway, just some ramblings by an exhausted college student. HOpefully someone finds it useful.

Technically true. HOWEVER...

Anyone can easily put together an AR-15 from parts found at a gun show. Which would you rather have: a hack-job AR-15 or a genuine Colt or Bushmaster? why? Computers are similar: yes, you can hack one together, but there are easily-missed nuances and tuning that make hack-jobs malfunction more. Professional assembly makes things work smoothly. I'm currently replacing a friend's no-name tossed-together PC with a Dell because the former is a buggy piece of crap.
