But not necessarily better. Whenever I looked inside one of these prefabricated boxes, I found the most dissapointing stuff, tiny mainboards with a minimum of slots, weak psu's, slow ram, onboard peripherals etc etc. Of course they work. But I prefer to chose my components by reading in the right forums and build my own systems.

Running for 4 years an AthlonXP on a Abit NF7, today it's outdated as hell, still arguably the best mainboard ever. My friend who bought a PC in the store a year after me has already had an upgrade.
