Does Building Your Own Computer Still Save Money?
#5
RE: Does Building Your Own Computer Still Save Money?
If it's something fairly simple and low end, probably not. They're almost giving low end computers away these days.

If you're looking for performance, or some special configuration, probably.

As with all things of this nature, see what's out there, compare the price with building what you want and see which is cheaper. As both apophenia and Moros said, though, if you aren't sure of what you're doing, buy.
