Do you really want to build a custom box?
Have you ever done this before?

Well, I don't really want to build it myself, though I've been toying with the idea. It's more the idea of consulting with someone who would then build it for me. My current one was built by a local shop when I was living in San Diego. At the time an engineer friend just told me pretty much what I should have with regard to HD, Ram, etc., and pointed me to the shop. They recommended certain parts as I consulted with them on my needs/wants. It's done well, but is now obviously a bit of a relic.
But someone told me the shops near where I live now were not very good. Still, I live close to two small cities which ought to have at least one good shop between them. So maybe I'll look around and then go with Krimson's advice if I find a place that seems decent.
Otherwise I'll give serious consideration to the Dell option you describe.
