This guy must love calling tech support or something. I build my own machines specifically so I don't have to deal with fixing someone else's configuration.

"It?s been a long time since I myself have ?built? a system from the ground up using OEM parts. Like I do with 12-packs of chicken breasts and cases of toilet paper, I now buy my computers from COSTCO in barebones configurations. If I need to tweak the hardware for better performance, I shop on the Internet for modest upgrades. While some of my friends are still hardcore system builders, I firmly believe that the build-your-own practice will become a lost art form, and that it will not survive the economy. Oh, the white box Taiwanese OEMs will exist, such as ASUS, MSI and and TYAN, but they?ll be making cheap consumer devices and netbooks, and acting as contract manufacturers for the big name PC manufacturers ? at least the big names that will still exist 2 or 3 years from now."
