For a desktop, I prefer purchasing parts from an online retailor and building it myself since I can save a lot of money this way. But, for a laptop I look for good deals from major companies like dell. Im using an inspiron 9300 now, and it works great.

i suggest building your own pc. cause you get to choose the devices you want to add and you get to decide w/c brand, type, or kind is the best for you. Cool

not "exactly" what we/you want. how i wish i could build my own mainframe but there's always a cost issue. atleast, what you meant to say, near to your own satisfaction/needs wherein the capacity of your freshly baked box is at its best condition to serve your computing/gaming needs. well, imho.

By building it myself i earn lots of money by not paying other people to build it, and i get what i want for my comp. If a factory builds it they may put in things that i absolutely dont need and then they charge way to much for it!

Well I say build it myself, but I haven't built one tyet... i currently have designed a PC for 1,300 dollars that rival most branded PCs and most customized PCS IE alienware, and stuff... but I have to save up to buy the parts. I have some experience from dismantling and remantling my DELL Dimension from 2001
