For my mom and dad, I buy one from a big-name vendor... but for home boxen, I build. It's generally cheaper for the level of PC I end up building. Additionally, building forces me to stay on top of current technologies as I research components... which makes me more capable of giving good advice to others.

 

That is a very good point.
