Yeah, I've seen things like the Packard Bell 'specials' with custom motherboards etc, which is why, although I'd buy pre-built systems, I wouldn't get them from a major retailer like Dell or PCWorld, but from a smaller shop/builder who used standard parts. But my point is still valid about not spending time building and testing system while setting up a business.
