Wow, here in the U.S., unless you know someone, a vendor is going to charge you an arm and a leg to build anything. All good points about the OEM btw. I would also add that here, people think it's cheaper to go with OEM, in some cases, yes but in the long run it's far more expensive. I can upgrade anything without having to buy a whole new system and I've proven to numerous people who bring their "broken" computers to me, that mine has outlasted all their OEMs, mainly 2-3 new buys which exceeds my PC's cost by nearly 2\3 . Even if I had a major brake down, it wouldn't be much to replace it. It's almost funny how the warranty runs out on these about a month prior to disaster lol.
