Anything preventing you from building your own?

Mostly my skill set. I have thought about it over the years, but....And for a while now I will need to live with my HP e9250 because my loving wife isn't happy with all the computer buying and returning I've done this year.

Otherwise I'm pretty much at a loss. HP desktops aren't too bad, I think. Wouldn't want to buy a Dell, unless they've changed their service warranty.

I have owned lots of HP stuff over the years and have been happy with it. It seems in this case they became aware that a certain percentage of their higher end units with Pegatron motherboards had a serious problem. They tried to address it with a BIOS update, and from my experience, this may have reduced, but did not eliminate the problem. I can certainly understand why they took that approach. HP service plans are usually one year, but the unit I returned came with a two year plan included. My replacement unit came with a one year warranty to which I added a second year at extra cost. This is for my piece of mind and also as a signal to my wife (see above) that I intend to keep this unit at least that long.
