oh yeah, don't buy those, just getting the crap they install in those off is a pain. that said though, I have been quite successfully using a Dell for almost 3 years now and after hard drive and RAM additions I hit probably around $1500.

The biggest advantage of building them myself is that I can make them to very specific specs. The biggest disadvantage to home made is when something fails, you need to be pretty sharp to trouble shoot it.
