    I assume most here are Thinkpad/IBM fans. I'm curious if you also choose Thinkcentre for your desktop? (this is not the wrong forum because I want to know what desktop the Thinkpad fans prefer :p ).

    I havent owned a desktop for about two years now and if i did choose to get one, it would most likely be something i scrapped together myself. If I didnt have the time to scrap one together, I would probably buy a bottom end thinkcentre or dell and deck it out.

    Building is the best bang for the buck. Just be sure to know what you are doing.

    i can't, thats why i bought a thinkpad :D

    It costs ALOT more building a PC on your own assuming you are doing it legitimately...legit OS, new keyboard, mouse, etc

    Most people that scrap their own pc's together usually have a licence for windows as well as some reusable parts on hand.

    Why are you rolling your eyes? You wanted to know about choice of desktop, I told you I built mine. That has no bearing on my choice of laptop.

    I build my own with the help of pricewatch.com and newegg

    I disagree that it costs a lot more. In my experience you can always break even if not save substantial amounts of money building your own. Plus, you decide what hardware you want/need.

    Yeah, but it's off-centered to the right, not up.
