Well from the looks of it I probably should just build my own and it looks like if I don't and say I got it from some InterWeb computer manufacturer that gamespot user will find me and throw rocks at me then throw me in a ditch...

I didn't say whether or not I was buying a pre-fab, and I would be an Idiot if I said that pre-fab is cheaper then building your own.

I heard alot of horror stories on their part just wanted to see whether or not most of them are true.

Also custom build none of there pre-fab stuff because if you custom build there is less of a chance it is fake parts since you a reading every option.

I have read many horror stories of Ibuypower I just want to know how much of it is true since a system there can cost $10,000 less then one at Alienware and almost the cost of building one yourself (almost)

Well For one I am tired of people throwing the term out there.

Two I have not spotted this "guide" being brought up.

hopefully you all will wise up to what a troll is instead of claiming someone is and turning topics into flame wars.

(but that will most likely never happen)
