warranty with dell has always been good with me. HP sucks…i had one i bought at sears back in the 90s and it was a piece of ass getting nigger raped. i was taking cursory looks at prices and assembling a super-computer is cheaper than buying one, but the 'high-end-average' prices were about the same.
the dell-bought alienware that i have now is having overheating issues, i think. i dont know for certain…im just guessing.
Yeah the thing is that it's stupidly easy and simple to build your own PC, specially when someone who knows their shit picks the parts for you. You basically just need the motor skills to plug the parts into the uniquely shaped holes. It's dumb easy. -

I may consider taking it into consideration, considering I'm in the middle of reassembling a bike...after disassembling it...and I'm pretty sure nothing short of hand-building a fusion power plant is anywhere near as onerous.
besides...I like one of the cases from that site that I didn't see anywhere else. -
2017-10-15 at 3:50 PM UTCIf you get your parts and post some pictures, I'll even post a walk-through on exactly where to put what

The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
2017-10-15 at 4:35 PM UTCI've had computers with no case at all. Just a motherboard laying there, with the power supply and hard drives laid out on the desk. Works perfect. Makes for very quick hardware changes.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire!

I have one just like this at my shop for quick connect/disconnects. BIOS configured for AHCI, so hard drives are hot-swappable. -

2017-10-15 at 8:52 PM UTCthe case i was looking at was cool. what i like about it is the roll-cage-esque protrusions on it.
if i ever were to use that case i'd consider adding more SS or aluminum bare-metal protrusions, brackets, and gussets.
edit: next question:
once all the components are purchased and ready/available for assembly, how long would 'I' take to assemble it? i have literally zero modern computer assembly experience other than simply swapping out memory, hard-drives, and video-cards that entailed opening various brackets or unscrewing #1 phillips-head screws. the last PC i assembled was in 1990-something before plug-and-play when computer assembly was a royal pain in the dick.
then, once assembled...presumably win-10 would have to be installed. the assembly process isnt as worrisome as the actual software install and making sure all the shit plays well with each other.

damn...thats nothing. i was expecting an ordeal.
what about installing software / windows...how much of an ordeal is that? how much of an ordeal is it to get everything to play well with each other...as in software / drivers / hardware being cooperative overall? -

A lot simpler than last time you would've done it. 90% of the drivers and stuff now, Windows will automatically download and you just need to update them to the latest versions -

Yeah what Aldra said. Plus you don't have to do it all at once. Install Windows, install/update drivers, change your settings as you like, and you're ready to roll. -

what are you ???
15 ????
and dont worry about installing the os, the design philosophy behind windows has always been that it has to be able to be used by the most retarded, lowest common denominator ..... of all mankind.
you'd do fine as long as you can read and follow simple instruction. -
