you know, i was thinking about making a computer myself, order the parts and then build it... it would cost me about $2000-$3000 but the only upgrades that i would make in the next 5 years would maybe be graphics card and motherboard... i even picked everything out, now i need money, the case is awesome, high quality motherboard and processor, graphics card is good, it would have to last me a long long time

So I saw this bird today... he said "Bow down to the almighty"

My Dad in the end decided it was a better deal to buy one already pre-made for me, so hopefully I'll get it sometime in the week.

Ugh... pre-made computers...

It's ALWAYS a better deal to make it yourself; if you buy a pre-made machine you have to pay retail cost not to mention parts, labor, and shipping + handling. You can't go wrong with Newegg; you can purchase parts right from the factory so there is no retail markup so all you will have to pay is for parts and shipping + handling.

For instance my computer which I payed about $1300 for would easily cost close to if not over $2000 if I ordered it premade.

yea, i personally hate my computer...Dell... anything but Dell is a good computer, and i dont like macs but i hate Dells and thats saying something.  me and a friend for an assignment in my computer class compared a customized alienware computer(known for gaming quality) and designed our own, and it cost less that half which was around $4000 canadian, my dad went on this need to buy better computers as they came out when his became about 2 or 3 times absolite, so i've gone through a few computers in my lifetime so far, and i still wish me and my bro built a couple for him... would have been cheaper, would have gotten exactly what he needed, and it wouldnt have been a Dell

I know. My Dad though thought it was a good deal as it includes screen, mouse, keyboard and all the software, so he considered it a better buy than the one he would have to build.

compatability with products from other people... the way they make their cases are almost forcing you to buy dell products to upgrade... its terrible

Ah I see. Plus all the Dell crap software and software that they put but you then have to pay a registration fee for, I've had to delete quite a bit of that crap.
