A little advise on building a computer.

Must I?

Why? His head can't be fine??

I think it's his nails he has problems with.

I like speccing/assembling the hardware but hate dealing with the ignorance of the average user.

In the past few weeks I've gotten several phone calls about the new Comcast Mail Center...like I had anything to do with it or knew any more about it than they do.

Once you build a machine it seems like you're eternally tied to it.

It's the same here.
I built my aunt 2 computers and have to provide her support, but another aunt bought a dell and doesn't bother me at all. :lol:

Plus I used to find that prebuilt computers in the low range worked out cheaper than building your own.

My current cut-off figure is $1000.
Anything less, buy a Dell, dude.

Really? I'll build em for around $400 bucks at the cheapo end. Still betteren a Dell

You can buy a Dell for that too :)

Yes but the parts are better all around.

I've had a dell for 6-8 years and all still original and still working :)

Any day now it will have finished booting.
Such patience.
