Should you buy a computer or configure your own?

This is a quite popular topic. Most computer experts prefer to make their own computers buying the parts individually than buying a new computer. I would say the best optin depends on your computer experience and also on how well you can configure one and how much patience you have. 

Computers directly from the store come working perfectly (most of the times at least). If you prefer to configure your own computer you may have a hard time putting all the parts together without damaging anything. Still it’s a pleasure to work with something you made yourself.

Another thing to consider is how long you can be without the computer in case something fails. If you buy from a store the whole computers, you have to wait up to a month to get the machine back working. If you configure everything yourself, that wait does not apply. You just have to open the machine, send the damaged part to the warranty and install a new until the old part comes again.

Making your own computer is something to be proud of. Few people can do it. Making your own machine means not only you will have to learn a lot about IT (very important in today's world) but also you will have to put that knowledge into real world practice.

Make your own machine and be free.
