[QUOTE="MeSess, post: 286461, member: 21237"] I strongly caution you against buying a prebuilt computer unless you're really uncomfortable with putting one together and installing your own OS and software for the following reasons: 1. Prebuilt computers are basically set as far as upgrades go. They come with specific components that work together and are model specific which means that you cannot upgrade components when you feel the need to do so. 2. Prebuilt computers come with a ton of bloatware that most people never use. The only way to completely get rid of this is to do a clean install of the OS which means you'll have to obtain a copy somehow. This isn't exactly hard to do if you pay for an OS install disc but those are pricey. You can torrent an OS but that's a different topic. 3. They will never be the exact specs that you want. You'll find one that will do what you want it to do but you're going to sacrifice somewhere. 4. They are more expensive for what you get. Building a computer is often cheaper than buying one because you can pick and choose parts based on cost and you'll end up with a better deal both price wise and performance wise. [/QUOTE]
