Re: Prebuilt or built it yourself?
I tend to go for pre-built for general office like use, since the cost is usually less then the sum of the parts. You usually get some bundled software (usually MS Works, although worksuite is better if available).
However if you are after a games machine to run Doom3, Thief Deadly Shadows or other graphics intensive titles, then the graphics card will almost certainly need replacing, and you probably want more memory & so are likely to have an old card & possibly old memory chips "left over" - so there might not be a great saving of prebuilt over self-build in this case.
