You can buy already set up PCs or customize your PC down to individual parts.

Dollar for dollar you can get much more from custom builders like this than you can going to a store and buying a Dell, HP, etc.

Hella other shit on there too. The specials are the way to go...they give a little bit of a discount.

And even when you pick the specials you can still customize the computer.

For 1200 shipped I got a sick ass system in the mail right now. Looking forward to being able to play newer games.

Not really...theres always the option of adding RAM and video cards, extra HDs, etc.

What I've been doing for about the last ten years or so is I've been buying a 500 or 600 dollar computer and adding components as necessary every 4-5 years.

It's pretty comperable to a console.

In addition, your PC is a million more things than just a game console.
