Who has tried to build a gaming PC or even a non-gaming one? Myself, I haven't attempted it - but while I find it fascinating - I'm just not into it enough to study and do it. However, though, I do want a gaming PC - cause I do 3D computer art.
Anyway, for those who attempted or completed a PC building scenario - how much did the materials cost? How much time did it take? Where did you buy your stuff? How would you compare homemade PCs to store-bought?

I built one about 14 years ago and it lasted (past its prime) until about 2 years ago when it became horribly slow and useless. I'm currently buying parts for my new PC which I hope to build sometime this year. Things are just expensive. If you're interested, I recommended using pcpartpicker.com. Back in the day I did it all by memory of what went with what, but why not use something that'll do all the heavy lifting (and compatibility checking) for me. My total is: $1791.29 (wow!)

Another link you may want to check out is www.logicalincrements.com/LI gives you incremental upgrades to better suit your price point, and it has a wide range of builds to pick from and edit!
