[honor man]

Pro: Its Cheaper
Pro: You can customize it to suit YOUR needs
Pro: You can make it look pimp

Con: Theres the slight change that you screw up while making it.

What Adam said and a pro would be that you know EXACTLY what is in you comp and the inner workings.

Plus it gives you experience. So say you want to update in the future, you can go about it easily.

but you get no tech support if you make your own. also no warranties. isnt that a concern?

 

[The Kraut]

Yeah, it also gives you braggin rights "Yeah, I built my own computer with my own two hands, take that dell owners!!"

Its not like theres NO help available.Take this forum for example. People in here have done so much work on computers they can help you with almost anything. And i know most components come with individual warranties.

i put an engine in my car by myself though.

There are individual warranties on the parts you buy. Hello, RMA!

If you put an engine in a car you can probably put together a computer. Its not as hard as everyone thinks
