I was looking for a beefy quad core system and my brother convinced me
that the cost savings and customizability makes it well worth the time
to assemble the parts.
So I'm curious: How many of you here have built your own computers?
Did you go with a barebones, or do it from scratch? Did you

Hi Richard,
I have just put together a computer. It's my third one and
I've done so, both from scratch as well as using a barebones. The issue with
barebones is many times you'll end up with parts you don't want. For
example an underpowered or less well known to be reliable power supply. The
right barebones can save you time, the wrong one can end up costing you
mon
Richard,
AnandTech.com has excellent reviews of all the DIY components,
including processors, boards, power supplies, even cases. Good place
to start.
Don't forget to leave room for a good SSD!

I built all my gaming pc's from scratch, as well as some machines for
workplaces.
The tasks you are planning to do is the deciding factor.
For mail, word processing, livecode and basic photoshop you do not need a quad
core. Actually, almost any new processor will be overdoing it. Not that is in

Richard,
Before me moving to macs, I've built all my computers by hand. I never
bought a dell or hp or something built by others. I always went to hundreds
of differents tiny shops in here scavenging for parts. It is quite fun. The
last computer I've built is a:
Intel Core 2 Duo
4 GB RAM
22' scre
The only advice I can give you is don't go cheap. If you are trying to save
money by making the cheapest computer you can, you will dearly regret it before
it's over. I could tell you some horror stories...

Actually, you can run OS X and OS X Server in the most recent versions of

I tried... drove pretty close to 100 miles to a store where I could
purchase the full retail product. Unfortunately the hardware and/or
BIOS isn't sufficient to get it to work on my laptop
Hi Richard
I got into the silent pc stuff for a while there to build HTPCs and have a
quiet workspace. Good fun trying to work out how to make things just that bit
more quiet. I was building from scratch. I never got into water cooling but I
probably would if I built one again. There's massive
I've actually heard good things about this company with regard to creating
very powerful cost-effective systems:
