Prices being what they are these days, if I were looking to build up another PC, I would probably go to one of the builders and just order something that suited my needs. TigerDirect is certainly an option, but it's been my opinion that the market has become so competitive over the last few years it's not worth it to BYO unless you have some sort of weird configuration or oddball hardware setup you can't live without. Not to mention you get support and a warranty, which has some value. If you don't need anything special, buy a Dell. They have some pretty serious deals on PCs these days, and their support/warranty are good. Dan

As I posted before, I always custom ordered what I wanted as far as processor, memory etc then just transfer my other hardware over. Im getting a big headache trying to figure out what processor is what, what memory is what etc. Ran thru a few options and it seems its as expensive if not more than what is on sale at best buy or whatever. So would it seem I am better off just buying whatever is on sale that fits my needs? Any certain brands to look for? Do they sell them at the store that do not have a bunch of crap preloaded on there? I hate buying those computers that already have half their space used up by preloaded crap I will never use. Another aspect I like of not buying the store computers is the fact that the cases etc are not always standard. With the custom ordered barebones deals, you can swap whatever you want at any point. Power supplies are standard, drive bays, etc. Stuff like that. Anyway, enough rambling, thoughts? Most of these store bought systems come with Vista now. Is that a good thing or should I just look on ebay and buy something there that may or may not have an OS installed? -- Kaleb C.
