Default Re: Buy computer or build own?

I've always build my own in the past, however this was because I knew exactly what I wanted in it component wise.

If you don't know/care about that, chances are you are better off just buying. There really isn't that much cost savings (especially when considering shipping costs add up from different suppliers). Most of the savings come from the old parts from your current computer that you can reuse. So if your computer is relatively old (say 2 years), there is barely anything in it that can be reused. Maybe keyboard, mouse, speakers.
