Default Re: OT: Buying vs. building your own computer

Just my $.02

For my home computers, I've built them myself for years and saved a lot shopping around. Just be sure you're buying compatible parts. It really is not that difficult anymore, at least not the way it used to be.

I've always found good deals (lots of rebates and stuff) on parts, 'barebones' machines, refurbs, and accessories at TigerDirect.com and they have a lot of stuff there to assit in putting it together. Been having very good luck with them for years.
