What's The Benefit To Building Your Own Computer

There are a few benefits to building your own personal computer. I know you ask yourself why I want to build my own personal computer. After all the entire computer market is full of computers that carry a pretty reasonable price tag.

Bear in mind that the computers on the market today that are out there, are what I call assembly line computers. They are computers that are mass produced. The technologies in the computers that are cheap only offer the basics. Also these computers are loaded down with a lot of useless programming. That is only designed to make the computer look more attractive. In fact these programs only cause the computers performance to be hampered. When you add to these computers or upgrade from the basics, the price tag can get pretty hefty.

Building your own personal computer allows you to decide from the start what will be put into the computer. The type of technology you put in your computer will determine your price tag.

The computer you build will and should have a longer life. When you build your computer you put in it, the computer technology that can be upgraded as you desire.

This increases the life of your computer, and allows your computer to grow with the technology.

The most important reason why you should build your own personal computer is the learning part. Getting a better understanding of what is inside the box. Understanding the technology in your computer will really come in handy when something goes wrong. If you have ever taken you computer to a computer tech, you know how costly that can be. I’ve been in computer tech shops picking up parts, and personally witnessed people paying as much for service as it would of coast those to buy a new computer.
