Which brand of computer do you own?

My personal computer are Apple, Dell, and HP. I custom built my own a few years back, which was a nice experience, but I find it's easier to get a good deal on a PC through one of Dell's promotions than it would ever be to build your own. For instance, my parents were able to get a new computer with a widescreen LCD for $400. The LCD, priced at newegg, was $200 alone.

Made my own forget some pre-assembled garbage

Yeah, I like to build my own. The results of the poll to date are not surprising.

custom built

doesn't upgrading void your warranty? i had an old HP computer and on the casing they had a sticker saying warranty void if case is opened.

agree custom build and nothing else

Everything since has been self-assembled.

This doesn't mean I have a problem with manufactured PCs...on the contrary, I think that below @$500 you're better off buying rather than building.
As an individual consumer you lack the purchasing power of the OEMs and they can sell some pretty nice stuff for very little money.
