mondine is an unknown quantity at this point
This crappy old system I have now was originally an OEM package, bought 'as is'; but a lot of bits and pieces are replacements and modifications.

The next one I get, I'll definitely buy piece by piece, and put together myself.

I got mine built for free, but of course I had to pay for the parts.

Ordered the laptop but added the ram, not much else you can do with a laptop.

I bought my current computer through Dell and Im quite happy with it. I have the tech knowledge to build my own but I want the whole machine to be warranty not every little part. With an already built/customised systems you can bring it back to the store or ship it back and they will repair/replace it. With a build your own/barebone system you have to take out the part, send it back to the manufacture to either get a replacement or get the part fixed.

I bought a couple of dirt cheap computers from tigerdirect.com,and did a lot of the upgrades myself, plus I seem to be a magnet for 2-5 year old systems. I have 5 or 6 between my home office and at my church... mostly 500mhz to 1Ghz systems... all for free!
