Does Building Your Own Computer Still Save Money?

I have the same desktop computer I had long ago. I heard that it does not save money anymore. I am skeptical but I really don't know. It is still fun and seems worth it to evade proprietary confinement (many brand restrictions when replacing or adding parts), but does it still usually save money?
