Traditionally we have always had prebuilt computers at work, and I’ve enjoyed custom built PC’s at home (used to be an IT/network engineer).
We are looking at upgrading a couple of PC’s in the office (actually mine and my wife’s, both directors) and are struggling to decide whether to stick with the prebuilt or custom build some PC’s instead.
With prebuilt, we have always bought Dell machines and we don’t have to worry about windows licensing because it comes with the computer, and we get 3 years on site warranty. With custom built, we get to decide what the computer looks like, the specs down to the last component (for example the dells generally can’t take higher end graphics cards).
I’m interested to hear what you guys prefer and whether you run custom builds in your businesses.
