^ you have that wrong, you meen for the price its better than building one, but for the quality its not better than a self built. Big box companies like Dell may seem cheaper but really use cheap parts and sometimes aren't even upgradable, so even though you may be paying less, int he future you may pay more...

Well that would have depend to depend if the user ever wants to upgrade

The regular user really doesn't

But Your are right

Your stuck future proof-ly...
Thanks for bringing this good point up
