While this is true there are other things to consider.
1. Its fun to build
2. you can a good knowledge of how it works making it easier to fix yourself later if needed
3. the components will have warranty
4. you can get a better value plus do a better job putting it together than trusting someone else to.

Yeah, I got my machine for a very good price. $900. With all I had in it, I probably could have built it for around $600, but I was a little nervous about that. Next time, I think I'll be building my own computer, or HTPC.

in cases where a person is unable or unwilling to put it together themselves, they are much better off just finding someone they know to put it together for them. even if its for a flat fee, its a better value than the markup % companies like alienware and ibuypower have.

I would hope avoiding alienware and ibuypower would be a no-brainer.
