gennerally how much does it cost to build a computer?

Answer 1

Depending on what you're looking for you might want to buy one already put together.

I used to build my own setup but found that the cost savings isn't quite what it used to be. There are a few websites out there that do a good job of offering a wide range of customizable options as well. Got my latest system from:

www.ibuypower.com

For 700 bucks they'll put together a core 2 duo. All kinds of options available and it comes with a pretty useful warranty too

You might find that it is cheaper (and easier) to buy one prebuilt that meets your needs

If you can find a Transfer station (Trash dump) that deals with computer equipment (Check your yellow pages) then you can pick up alot of the parts there
I have one about ten miles from me and another about 25 miles away (never been there though)
