Because you can build a much higher spec machine with the bits you want, no compromises, for the same price or build a similar spec machine a lot cheaper.

I used the Dell's as a benchmark when I first came to the UK to see if it was worthwhile building or just buying. I built my machine for something like £900 at the time, the equivalent spec Dell (still including compromises) was over £1300.

Took me half a day to lob it together and get an operating system on it.

Then it took Ange a week and a half to stop me playing Unreal Tournament on there
