I've built desktops from scratch. These days though, the components will cost significantly more than the same off-the-shelf system.
Depending on what you're building. It's why I got out of custom builds. The bread and butter systems, web browsing, e-mailing, media players, have gotten so cheap that I can't compete. Gaming rigs and CADD systems, I can still make a decent margin and still kick the crap out of the off the shelf systems. But, consoles have started competing in the PC gaming niche and demand for home systems that can run CADD has nearly vanished. I still build all my own, and do an occasional gaming build for friends, but the market is drying up.
