    The biggest problem with these builts are usually with PSU...
    The crap they include isn't healthy for any decent PC.

    Don't your shop offer assembling for some $10? usually you can choose whatever parts you want (inlcuding case and PSU) and they will built that PC for you. No different from pre-built ones, except that it won't be cheapened on critical parts like PSU.<style id="pageBrightnessCustomCSS">body{zoom:106%!import ant;}</style>

      I do not know where you got the notion that I had a shop that would put a whole computer together for 10 bucks....but I can say...you are DEAD WRONG!

        I couldn't say unless I was able to see the power supply model number which they do not seem to give.
        I tend to avoid these and have never heard of that website. Have you checked CyberPowerPC or any other configurable system websites?
        No shop I know of would build a PC for $10. You're looking at somewhere around $75-$100.

          DIY is pretty fun! But I understand that its not for everyone.. I agree with the other guys here, check a place where you can sellect the components.
