Yeah I too build my own - I can go to the local PC supply store and buy a non vender case with a 400 watt power supply for 40 - 50 bucks that will accept almost any mother board - except a mini atx board and then I shop for the best prices online for the rest of the hardware..
when you buy a vendor pc only there mother boards will fit there cases..
also never buy a board with intergrated video as it harder to upgrade the video .. my next upgrade I think I will buy a DVI video card to use my DVI port on my 18 mits LCD... and the thing with video cards is that they keep making them better and that makes the price go down..
