OK, all well and good, but is it quiet? This is so often overlooked. When building your own PC, you can make it silent. How about a Top Ten quiet off-the-shelf computers article?

I totally agree with b166er - PCs at the moment are all pretty much similar and commodity items, so the noise level and power consumption are becoming more important that the 0.1 extra frame in Crysis. I would love to see noise levels on each PC, NAS and laptop review - i.e. things with fans that might run most of the time.

Agree too. Whilst you may get a cheaper pc and a warranty but given how many builders go to the wall this is of dubious benefit these days. - You get a system built to a price with, I would say, little regard to quality of the components and the end use you may want. Building your own allows to to EXACTLY specify end use and hence component choice.

I guess buyers of these systems "just want a cheap pc" - and will doubtless get what they buy ;-)

Agree with all the three comments.

I still build my owm desktops so I can get the exact specification I want, using components from the manufacturers I want.

Also some manufacturers are still wont to rip us off for slight increases in HDD space or memory so we can avoid that and reduce cost disparity.

My current i920/GTX285 system is whispering along beside me as I type this.
