Custom Built Computers

Does anyone know of any companies that custom build computers? The only one I know of is Falcon Northwest. If you could clue me in on your favorites. Money is not much of an issue, and I'll probably just build one on my own, but if you could give me some sites I could visit so I can shop around a little I'd be very appreciative.

thanks

Falcon, Alienware, VoodooPC, ABS are probably the biggest, though the Dell XPS can be customized quite a bit too (just not quite as cool of a case perhaps). Building yourself is always a good way to get a custom computer, but if cost really is no object, those companies can be nice for taking care of the hassle and providing tech support and warranties.

Claims made in the form of advertising should be considered as advertising.

There are many cases that have some or all of the features you want. Check out Thermaltake, for example. You'll need to add your own cold cathode if you want, but it comes with led fans, so you may not even need to.

Try LeadComp.com

There is a custom computers store that I'm using for last several month www.leadcomp.com. They are very much like other "white box" computer companies.

Well, when you build your own computer, you obviously save some cash, but just know what you are doing!

For websites to get parts, try newegg.com , pricewatch.com to find the dealers

goodluck;
