I have bought software, and “parts” from three places: Tiger Direct, Computer Builders Warehouse, and Micro Center.......this includes mother boards, CPUs, hard drives, DVD drives, fans, cables, etc.
I personally have.......... and most companys have, a “budget” per unit..........weather it be $1,000 or $5,000.
Buying it built or custom, the budget still exists. Look at the prices...............your really only saving the labor costs..........your not going to get the specs of a $5000 machine for $1500......even if you build it yourself..........my estimate is the most you save is 35%. Everything in the unit has to be 100% compatible and correct.....screw up and everything gets fried and you've lost it all. No warranty, no one to complain to........yeah it's cool, you built your own PC..........but I would say less than 5% can do it. Less than 5% of companies even need those high specs. Some “gamers” use machines more powerful than those used to create the movie “Final Fantasy” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_graphics
Like I said before, Maya, Dreamweaver, Macromedia Flash and Shockwave, Photoshop, as well as audio software like Audacity and Muzys, etc. rung on my 400 mhz Dell. Eventually I'll get a faster machine, but will probably only spend $500-800. Like I also said I don't game.
