Nowadays, you might save 100-200 building it yourself..../QUOTE]
Pretty sure I've saved more than that (more like 400) when building as I usually try to buy high value components with rebates.
Failure rates these days is near zero, so I don't worry about that .
I like knowing whats in the box and that no shortcuts have been taken. Have never bought a ready made for myself (other than laptops, and the Atari line back in the day. ) and probably never will. But you never know.

Well, I can only go by the specific machine I purchased (Corsair One)...all attempts to price out the components (not including rebates, mind out), only saved me about $200...
This pre-built has received nothing but praise from all the reviews I've seen...including from sites that are pretty much dedicated to doing it yourself...
Plus it's built by Corsair, so you know the memory and cooling components they use are about as good as you can get...
