Took me 3 hours as I was picky with my hard drive XD.
Really, it takes about and hour, and well yeah you can buy monitor skins, but they look horrible. =]
Get a flat screen, 24-30" ^^
Of course its cheaper to build it yourself! Which moron said it wasn't? Cant be bothered to look for their post.
You're saving costs from workers building it, probably like £30-50 and delivery if you can pick the parts up but chances are it would still be cheaper delivery because Dell charge about £60 unless they do their free shipping deal.
You can also get better parts for cheaper if you know where to look!
Personally I'd build one because its hard to find a pre-built PC that suits your needs for any sort of decent price. Also, the cases look far cooler :P
Yeh, Build, the people who said it cost more to build your wrong, its cheaper and you get what you want.
