Jul 11th 2007 11:21PM (Engadget)For the record, I built my own comp.
But I do see reasons to buy a prebuilt custom computer.
1) 100% compatibility between the parts. This is really fustrating when you buy all your components and it doesnt POST; then stripping and testing each piece of hardware.
2) Optimized and Stabilized
3) Everything from one place, if you want the cheapest prices for the parts, most likely you have to buy from different sites, such as a mobo from newegg, and the videocard from zzf. Mainly, people buy custom computers prebuilt because of convience (at least, those who know how).
But no matter what price-range computer Im building, I would build my own desktop, unless its less than $500, then its more economical to just buy a dell or HP (unless its a low low range gaming PC).
Also, as the price of the computer goes up, the difference between the price of a prebuilt vs your own built minimizes. IE. you would get more bang for the buck @
a $2000 own built PC
vs
Prebuilt than a $7000 own build PC vs prebuilt.
