Does anyone here build computers?

I'm just wondering...How many people on this forum build computers, either Mac or PC? I realize that Macs are nowhere near as customizable as PCs, but they're still customizable, and people are able to build them from just bare parts. Heck, I even know someone who builds Macs (as opposed to the MANY people I know who have built PCs)! So, who here builds computers?

I build PC's

I don't do it for a living but I've built my own PC, a PC for my Brother-In-Law, a PC fo my Sister and a PC for 2 of my friends. I just switched to Mac/Apple a couple weeks ago so it will be a little while before I take on new projects on the Mac side. I did buy an old 233 MHz rev. A iMac and upgraded the VRAM, RAM and Hard Drive myself. As far as building from scratch, nope, not for a while.

Used to build and sell PC's for a living until the market got so cut-throat. It's cheaper to buy them custom built from my suppliers now. I've also built several machines for myself and done various upgrades to macs.

Alright, not bad. Now, does anyone here build MACS?

thats a bit more tricky than buildin a pc... themost ive done was put crap into it, never scratch issued.

I've built two personal pc's...and I've put ram in my mac. I havne't really ever heard of anyone building macs...sure, people upgrading, or moding..but not building from scratch.

I want to build a G4/PC hybrid, but I need to save, something I'm *NOT* good at.

Hehe, how do you plan on building a "hybrid" ?

PS. i build/repair pcs... i repair macs.. which is nearly building some of them lol

Alright then, but just remember that I personally do know a guy (probably about 19 years old or at least close) who builds Macs, so it is definitely possible for people to do it.

oh its possible, your just restricted more. (though OSX changes that a bit!)

scrap heap. or ebay.

I build PC's....hoping to learn about building my own mac!!!

I have a built a few PC's for me and my family, I have opened my emac to the bones and closed it back my self , added ram, airport extreme, DVD rw drive, hard drive, almost every thing other than video card which i really want to change.
