No, not at all. I purchased a brand X desktop (w/ 3 GHz dual core
64bit Intel processor/ 2GB ram/250 GB hard drive, DVD+-RW, 256MB
graphics, et al.) at a military Exchange for around 700 USD. To build
a similar box could easily had cost me three times the price on the
Japanese market. Considering the speed at which hardware becomes
obsolete why pay top dollar when it could be had for less. It's nice
to DIY, but its nicer to have money in your wallet afterwards.
Regardless, he can easily send advice send my advice to /dev/null. :-)
It's just my two cents.
