The difference between mass produced bargain PC’s and quality custom built computers is more critical than most consumers realize. Custom built computers use industry standard parts which gives the owner several options for future upgrades. Also, the components are hand selected for optimum performance and quality. Most consumer grade PC’s manufactured and sold through several retail computer chains are designed to hit a price point... not quality, performance and upgradeability. These "best buy" specials are considered disposable because of the limited upgrade options. They simply can’t be easily upgraded without using expensive proprietary parts from the computer manufacturer; therefore, the computer is replaced rather than upgraded.

Consider these points before purchasing.
