Did you build your computer yourself or buy it pre-built?

I built mine, and I don't think I will ever buy a pre-assembled PC if I can avoid it (unless it's a laptop of course). For those of you who haven't built a PC before, it's fun and is the cool way to go

Re: Did you build your computer yourself or buy it pre-built?

We have built our own for years, but 3 days ago we saw a 150$ Quad core thing, so we bought it. I don't know a whole lot about computers, but the one we bought is lighting fast.

I have a laptop, so it was premade. Saving up to build a desktop, though.

I didn't build my current computer myself, but the tower I use from time to time is of my own making.

Re: Did you build your computer yourself or buy it pre-built?

Built, of course. It's an ongoing process of iteration. She's my second love. <3

Specs, from my Xfire page:

Processor: AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ @3.2 GHz
Memory: 2046MB DDR2 667 @356 MHz
Hard Drive: Western Digital Caviar Blue 640 GB (primary), Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 500 GB (secondary)
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT, ForceWare 185.85
Monitor: SAMSUNG T220 Touch of Color series
Sound Card: Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium
Speakers/Headphones: Sennheiser HD 280 Pro
Keyboard: Microsoft Digital Media Keyboard 3000
Mouse: Logitech G5 Laser Mouse
Mouse Surface: Allsop cloth mouse pad (black)
Operating System: Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 3
Motherboard: ASUS M2NPV-VM
Computer Case: Antec Nine Hundred Advanced Gaming Case

Due for an upgrade fairly soon too. I need to get a new motherboard, memory and CPU (going to go to Core i7 unless Core i5 hits a really good price/performance equation), and I'll be upgrading the video card once the next generation of stuff has hit.

Would you believe I built myself a P4-based system in 2009?

Re: Did you build your computer yourself or buy it pre-built?

I bought a semi-crappy computer and upgraded it to the point where if I upgrade it any more it'll practically be an entirely new computer.

Re: Did you build your computer yourself or buy it pre-built?

I built my current computer in late 2008. Other than that I still have a laptop that's only good for websurfing.
