I work in the industry, and have built every computer I have ever owned. I've never had an issue with them. Building your own just means you need to research the components you want to use. Some do not do well with others. You also tend to pay WAY more than you planned, because well you want a good video card and not a crappy one, or you want that extra bit of memory etc etc.

For simple computing tasks go for a pre-built Dell or some such. For top of the line gaming build your own.

Why not a Dell? I'm on my second new purchase, can't beat the money and the service imo.

i guess chad is right, for the average person a dell is fine...but for the power user, 2 - 512 video cards, 2 gigs of pc2-8000 dual channel ram and dualing 21" monitors is a must IMO haha
