What are the advantages of building your own server comparing with
products from HP, Dell and IBM? Is it cheaper?

I never heard of DIY server hardware market.

Basically, I built it because I wanted certain components in/on the system and could not get it configured that way from any vendor. I've built every PC I've ever owned. I select components based on the type of use they would get, and the applications they are going to run. As for price, sometimes cheaper, sometimes more expensive depending on what you put in it, but in the end, when it all comes together, you have something to be proud of because you built it yourself.
