I just went to cyberpower, and read the list of all the components of one of their systems, and picked out each exact component over at newegg.com and put it in my shopping cart…

The end result was the comp from cyber power cost $999 with free shipping, and all the parts from newegg cost $1,069 plus shipping

I know how to build a computer, and would like to do that, but if it’s cheaper to buy a pre-built, why would I want to order the parts and build it myself? It seems like more money, more work and less warranty. Am I right on this?
ok, cyberpower.com has a system configurator to where you can choose from lots of different parts to get exactly what you want…. and about all the software they load their systems up with…that’s nothing more than a format away. I could just wipe the hard drive, take the computer apart, and I ‘d be where I would if i bought all the parts.
