What do these problems mean
to me?

Insufficient power supplies
  1. As you expand and upgrade your
    computer, the demands on your
    Power Supply increase.
  2. The Power Supply is an important
    factor to the life of your system
  3. Spikes and surges in the Power
    Supply can jeopardize your
    system.
  4. When your system is deprived of
    a consistent stream of reliable
    power it will be prone to random
    hardware failures, bizarre errors
    that you may never have seen
    before.

Overcrowded cases
  1. Reduced airflow leading to
    possible overheating (see "lack
    of cooling")
  2. More difficult to work on
  3. Harder to clean - you should
    keep your computer as dust free
    as possible.  Yes that means
    removing the side panel.  But
    dust on your PC components can
    insulate them and lead to
    overheating and ultimate
    meltdown.

Inability to upgrade with standard
components
  1. You may be stuck buying a
    higher priced component (Like
    me when I wanted to replace my
    power supply and had to get the
    one from the manufacturer that
    was low wattage because a
    normal sized one wouldn't fit)
  2. If you want to replace something
    like a motherboard, you may end
    up having to replace the whole
    case (The "name" brand cases
    are often too small for standard
    size motherboards or they don't
    mount properly) This will add an
    extra $50 to $100 onto your bill.

Lack of cooling for your case and
components
  1. Overheating can lead to
    equipment failure.
  2. "Name" brand PC's usually only
    have one case fan
  3. Ventilation and cooling is
    important to prolonging the life
    of your PC and also improving
    the speed and performance.
  4. "Name" brand PC's don't tell you
    what they use to cool your
    system.  This means that they can
    cut their cost on cooling
    components by using inferior
    cooling components.  You don't
    really know what you are getting
    as far as performance of your
    case fans, power supply fans,
    and most importantly your CPU
    fan.

Lack of ability to upgrade your
components before you buy
  1. Although the "name" brand PC's
    do come with some upgrade
    options some important ones are
    left out, such as power supply &
    cooling components.

Lack of detailed specs on components
  1. You just don't know the wattage
    or reliability rating of your power
    supply
  2. You just don't know what they
    are using to cool your delicate
    PC components
Why are these advantages
important?

Choose a stable power supply
  1. The Power Supply is an
    important factor to the life of
    your system
  2. You can get a power supply that
    will be more reliable
  3. You can pick a power supply that
    will have plenty of wattage to
    handle your system and future
    upgrades.

You can choose the case
  1. Choose a case that best suits
    your style
  2. Choose a case that has plenty of
    space for your PC components
    to breath and stay cool
  3. Choose a case that has extra
    fans for cooling your PC and
    even LED fans if you want to add
    a little high tech style to your PC

Universal parts to upgrade
  1. You will have a huge selection
    of parts custom suited for your
    personal tastes, and
    performance requirements
  2. You don't have to pay top dollar.  
    You control how much you
    spend on parts based on the
    quality you desire and NOT
    because it's the only thing that
    will fit in your "name" brand PC

Add extra cooling components
  1. Overheating can lead to
    equipment failure.
  2. Cooling is a VERY important
    factor in the life of your PC
  3. You can hand pick cooling
    products from the case fans to
    the CPU fan or even liquid
    cooling components.
  4. You will find a huge selection of
    cooling components when you
    build your PC and can find the
    best solution according to how
    much you're able to spend
  5. You can choose the cooling
    components based on customer
    ratings and low noise levels

Components are hand picked for
quality
  1. You can carefully decide what
    you want for your PC, based on
    price, quality, customer ratings,
    and desired performance
  2. You can pick which components
    are most important to you and
    spend your money accordingly

Every component is picked based on
quality ratings
  1. We have done the research to
    make the most informed
    decision possible on every
    component
  2. You can be assured that you are
    getting only quality parts in your
    PC because we base decisions
    on ratings and customer
    satisfaction
  3. The more reliable the individual
    components are, the longer your
    PC will last.
