Let me tell you about my experience with building my own PC. As I had mentioned earlier I bought a Compaq in 2001. About the end of 2005 I knew that it was time for a new PC and I had been wanting to build one so I had it all planned out. I was going to build one around March 2006 since that was my birthday I could get a few parts for a present. Well as luck would have it, just after the new year the power supply went out and I was at a point where I just had to have one pretty fast due to some papers I was preparing. I was forced to go and have one built. That is as close as I have gotten to building one. I have added several things to the one I had built in 2006 and it is running pretty good. Maybe one day I will build that PC after all. == Got a question, I have never heard of anyone building a laptop. Have any of you built one?

They are - although my particular model is a 'gaming laptop' with self replaceable CPU and GPU and thus a bit $$$.
Nice! Self replacable parts in laptops, especially cpu and gpu, is always a plus.
Everyone in my house owns at least 1 HP
Nice! A lot of HPs. That's a good thing!
An XP Home - Compaq (2003) desktop, Vista Business- Compaq (2006) laptop and a custom build Windows7 Ultimate desktop.
All work flawlessly
