Why would you buy one, why not build it?

There will come a day, such a day when all will be told more than they wish to know, what one hears may explain the past, it may explain the future, but it has never made a difference either way and it will change nothing. Some day.... But that is not this day, and I don't know when, I just don't know.

oh for 2 grand you will not be dissapointed, the only time I would reccomend a prebuilt is if someone needed a cheap computer everything included, just for surfing and email. almost every other situation its not only better but cheaper like others said to build it.
