Alternatively there are plenty of sites on the web for quality made to order PCs where you can select case, select motherboard, select processor, select disks etc and they will built it for you. This disadvantage of this is that they tend to use slightly older or lower performance generic components.

I make custom computer. And they are really, really well done. Two draw backs to the customer. I am about $200 more expensive, as I *will not* use garbage. And I have to build them between customers calls, which means three to four weeks lead time after I get a check. So if they want them cheap and fast, ... -T
