[ale] Do people still roll their own Linux desktops?

[Michael Trausch]

I always build from NewEgg. Though my justification is more along the lines
of, if I make a mistake and something dies I want to be able to replace it.
Prefabs suck in that regard.

I recently built my own system with parts from newegg.  My reasoning was to
ensure that I get good quality parts.  I don't trust the extremely cheap
systems.  I also wanted to make sure that I got a pair of hard drives with a
5
year warranty as they always seems to be one of the first components to go.

Thanks,
