Personally I always build my own because I know where I can save money
and where to spend a little extra for my needs.  Most name brands just
know how to cut all corners to make the price tag as small as possible,
with no consideration to actual performance (They seem to assume the
customer simply wants lowest price for highest cpu number/memory size/hd
size).

I tend to buy my parts at logic computer house or canada computers.

I built a new computer for my sister in december, and spent about $1300,
which was what I thought was about as low as I could go while still
getting top quality and good performance for the money.  Not sure going
under $1000 ever gives good quality or performance for the money at this
time.
