I've built several computers also. I would never get a prebuilt computer, save for laptops. Sure, you can get a $500 Dell with a 15" LCD screen, but the components are peices of shit. I can build a better, higher quality computer for the same price, just no LCD. But that 15" LCD is gonna be a piece of shit just the same as the rest of the computer. I've also had to work on Dells and Compaqs and other locally store built computers, and I could not stand them. They cut every corner imaginable on those.
If I had more money to blow, I would be upgrading and building constantly, but sadly I have no money at all, and am stuck doing other peoples computers and rarely mine.
Mail in rebates aren't really my friend, sure the part is cheap in the long run, but you still have to dish out the cash in the first place and wait 6 - 8 weeks for your check from the company. In that 6 - 8 weeks, a new one has come out that's much better. :-P
