They want $488.99.
I cant stay focused on the project long enough to build my own. PLUS, $488 is damn near what me and my wife live on in a month.
Like I said, need to make sure I am on the Nice list for Santa Clause

I have to admit, that's a good deal.
My concerns with pre-fabs though is always the fact that they have short life spans, (the fact that what they put into them is the minimal quality for the money paid, and the fact that some cannot be upgraded..even from online sources). It's those dink of towers (those tiny ones) which limit upgrading motherboards.
LOL..Julial....I'm a baby-boomer, as well, (51 yrs old). I love to tinker with things....especially build/fix...which is probably why I dove straight into building of my own.
Same with when I went through that lamp phase of mine...I had NO concept of how electrical wiring was at the time I began. I just examined how the wires already were...and went from those as guidelines....something like that.
(I must admit, though....I certainly get p.o'd at self when it doesn't turn out right....lol).
Lessons learned through trial n errors....(now if only I can apply that to my every day scenarios...lmao).
