My comp is a CyberpowerPC. They do custom builds (which is what I got) and charge $60 for putting the rig together, which I think is worth the service cost, since it saves on time spent looking for the right motherboards and making sure the bits all fit together. And I can avoid amateur fuck ups when it comes to gluing the CPU to the motherboard and stuff. (After putting in the SSD on my own, I'm definitely not going to attempt putting together an entire PC by myself. The experience is nice, but damn, the possibly of wrecking something is costly. Maybe if I had cheaper parts I'd take the risk, but with the CPU, I'm leaving that up to the pros.) The fact that they're a big company means they can get parts for cheaper than an individual, so that allows them to keep the price low while making a profit.

I don't have experience with the iBUYPOWER. I imagine is something similar?
