Comment:

Are the complete, fully assembled computers sold by partspc.com a good deal? Their prices are very good, but I don't know how to judge the quality. Are top brand components really better? For which components is durability the most important? It seems that hard drives fail much more than all other pc components, and their failure has the most dire consequences. Any replies would be appreciated.

I grabbed this one as an example:

Crappy case, crappy PSU, board based on an older chipset w/integrated graphics (in other words, no video card), not enough RAM for Vista (especially since a portion will go toward the video), crappy speakers, small HDD. The only thing it's got going for it is the CPU...lol.

Look at the rating at resellerratings.com for that store and compare it to Newegg.com.
