True, no guarantees your next one will be quite like that though. I have not had any issue with any builds that I have done, everything works just fine. I had a DOA hard drive one time, but hey that can happen, and it was only 1 of 4, so it didn't slow me down.FlyingPenguin wrote:EGO: I understand that, but some of us don't have the free time to build our own rigs anymore and/or don't want the aggravation. My time is worth money too. If I spend a day building myself a rig, that's a substantial amount of money I'm losing if I otherwise could work 3 service calls that day. And it's hard finding time on a weekend.
Until this last rig I've always built my own. The problem with building your own is there's almost always some snag: maybe a driver issue, maybe RAM timing issues, etc. This last rig was a dream: unbox it, pop my own vid card in (which I pulled out of my old rig so it didn't cost me anything) and VIOLA! Up and running.
Next rig will be the same. I've been building my own for 20 years and I'm over it.
EvilHorace,
Don't forget Shuttle PCs, they are nice and compact, might be about all you need. Given though that those are a pain since they are so small.
