DanTheGamer Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 I should make sure I clarify my statements in the title of this thread. By build I mean you go to retailers like NewEgg and buy the individual parts for your computer and have them delivered to your home. Then with those parts you put together your computer piece by piece. By out of the box I mean you go to a manufacturer like Alien Ware, BestBuy, etc and it's already pre-built when you receive it. With all of that, do you build your gaming rigs or do you let a manufacturer do it for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 I prefer to build it myself because it is cheaper and it gives you a sense of satisfaction when you finished building one and it is working. You'll feel like that mad scientist when he awakened Frankenstein - You'll find yourself saying "It's Alive!!!"😂 Did I mention it gives you bragging rights? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UleTheVee Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Building is better because you are going to get your components. Not to mention pre-builts are infamous for their build quality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We literally are off the heels from the WalMart pre-built computer controversy. Imagine that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the study warranty policies that keep you from attempting to upgrade a system as well as the ridiculous repair costs of pre-built systems. Hell, the only reason I get a pre-built laptop is that the components are fused to the motherboard making it ridiculously difficult to upgrade. otherwise, I'd take a crack at building my own laptop.

I mean, laptops are oin a different realm entirely so I didn't even bother to talk about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just saying that if laptops were able to be built from scratch, I would definitely do it but it is way too difficult and expensive right now.

Darth Maul Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 I bought my current computer but it's getting outdated, so the next time I'm shopping, I'll just buy the parts and build it up myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like we've stated before, a lot of users have issues with their pre-builts and the fact that they can't be upgraded only makes things all the more asinine.

Yes, feed your ego and build your own custom machine so that you can brag that you built something great. The level of accomplishment you will feel for building your first custom PC will stay with you for a lifetime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 I think after seeing the HPs poor support and bad configuration for the computers. I prefer to avoid the pre built range or anything from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The worse part is the third also had a faulty component so they had to get a refund and we bought a Toshiba. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
