My point was: no matter what brand the PC is, they are all "cheaply made". Regardless whether it's a Dell, Gateway, HP or whatever.

Building one isn't all that hard. If you can find components on sale locally then you can definitely save a bundle. I built my first PC in 1988, it sat on an anti-static wrapper for a good month before I got a case for it.

With most components available externally (USB2 / Firewire) today, you should be able to do your upgrades quite easily. I don't game much so even onboard sound or video work just fine for me. If you do game, you will be spend quite a lot more for sure. Anyway, have fun building it and good luck.
