I used to build my own, then more recently I've bought dell's. Hadn't built my own box in about 7 years until just recently. But what would've cost me $1400 from Dell, $1200 from Intrex (local shop), and $750 from Tiger Direct cost me $500 to buy the parts from a fly-by-night company in Canada. So for me, the extra $900 wasn't worth the 3 year dell hardware warranty. > Of course, working at a university does get me a 12% discount off any > sales. I have that benefit too but like I said, I saved a lot more money going this route.
