Geek question - for a PC only:
is it worth it to learn how to build my own computer and snap together the parts, or should I just buy a computer?

Anyone suggesting a mac will be rebuffed with "As a noncomformist, I refuse to invest in a monopolistic enterprise based solely on cute colors and rounded corners."

I've built several PCs from scratch but you really don't need to these days unless you want a heavily customized gaming rig.

Now I'm more likely to buy a pre-built one and then crack the case if I want to tweak it; add a second HD or more memory or whatever.

LOL @ my closets filled with cords, old motherboards, and assorted spare parts.

I love hardware; it's fun and it's not hard to learn how to do it, but it's not necessary unless you have really specific requirements.
