Ars Technica has published a new "Bargain Box Guide" for April 2014. As I'm looking through this I poked my nose over at Tom's hardware System Builder, Q1 2014: The $750 Gaming PC. Am I completely off my rocker? How do either of these qualify as a "budget build?"
I can consistently build systems (without monitors or OS) for far less that these systems and get a quality build that will work for several years of service. Am I just cheap or have I just been broke for too long and can't fathom the expense?
Do you still build systems or have you only purchased factory built units? How would you approach your design differently?
