 if you go to a retail store and buy yes... building is more expensive, but in my case I owned a computer company and the prices I got the parts for ended up saving me an average of 500 to 700 bucks for a high end system over what you would have paid for a run of the mill back then.  remembr back then a average run of the mill PC cost 2000 to 2400 bucks.
 
not the 400 to 700 we see now.
