I used to like building my own, but found it to be a hassle after a while. Now, i just buy branded, wipe all the marketing crap from it, and load my own OS.

I like to build it myself. It is cheaper and I can personaly choose which components i like.

I also like the builditurself aproach, like some one said there's pride in it. U have total control u learn some thing and its also great for ur status

them: WWOOWW U build that??????
u: yeah and it only took me like 30 mins
them to some one else: THAT guy is a f**in genius he built an entire supercomputer from molten steel!!!!!!!
u: yeah I great huh I mean I'm only the ruler of the univeres.
chicks: my hero do u wanne come to my house tonite and maybe.......ROFL

Definately would have to be build it yourself. I can get whatever parts I need and also have a nice case and also make all the cables nice and tidy. It helps that i did some work experience in a computer shop when I was young so I know some nice tricks.

Built myself!

Example: I buy a new computer, for 600 euro, it work 6 months, then mainboard go to hell. Then i buy all compnents in diferent shops. Connect all in BOX...from this time its pass 4 years, and this PC still working, but its OFF, beacuse its week.

Allways make pc in your stile

i'd like to build my own PC as soon as my dad comes back from Brazil he'll help me make my own plexy case with neons etc and custom logos
the other is simpe... if you have money :>
