What one can buy in store i can build it with better components all name brand with warranties, windows installed for around 30-50% cheaper.

My last build cost close to 2k. Store bought one of this caliber would be over 4k in store and im sure would be low end Ram, Motherboard,Hard drive,Heatsink, and so on.

Its ALWAYS best to build your own computer saves time, money and you know what goes wrong if something does. Then send it out for repair rather Whole computer to Hp,Dell,Gateway .....


To the OP you can build one and put Apple OS on it. Ive done it for college class through a Virtual Machine off my Desktop.
Whoa easy dude, I have never built a computer so my knowledge is somewhat limited. My friend has built many of them though and I unfortunately get stuck listening to him rambling on about computer jargon occasionally lol. I was just saying this because I thought getting all your own parts and putting in the time to put it together would be about the same as buying one and adding on to it. On a side note; where do you get most of your computer parts from that are so much cheaper? I've gotten things off Tiger Direct before but I was wondering if theres somewhere else you get stuff from thats even cheaper?
