i am not a guy who can build the computer by himself. so this unit maybe is ok for me. i more concern about the quality of computer, i don't want to get any trouble with this machine. is anyone know how the quality of Acer Desktop is?Jep4444 wrote: ↑The CPU, RAM and hard drive would go for about 400-450 so for the last 250-300, you're getting a windows liscence(which is bound to the motherboard they give you) and a low quality motherboard, power supply and case. All in all it looks about right but it wouldn't cost much more to build a better quality machine(if at all, especially if you wait for deals and install windows yourself from an old copy).

So it's actually not as hard as people think it is but you could also likely find a techy friend to help you out. The concern with OEM computers is that they often skimp on the less visible specs so you end up with(as another posted pointed out) a slow hard drive(which you will notice) and low quality components that make any sort of future expansion next to impossible. Failing that, go check out actual computer stores that build computers in house since they will often build computers with better component than the low grade ones that Acer or Dell(or another OEM) will provide.

I'd say these two are closely matched for quality/reliability. Most people probably have them as second-tier, I personally have them as LOW second-tier. That said, I have no problem buying/using their products, and am working on imaging 4 Acers for a job right now.

I've had the opposite experience. I had multiple failures with mine a few years ago, the motherboard included.

you are right i am scared to build my own. do you have any recommendation of the prebuilts that compare to this desktop at $500-600 range? thanksSplitSnake wrote: ↑I definitely wouldn't pick this up OP. This desktop has gone for $599 one time before, as I picked it up for my company.
I know you may be scared to build your own, which is fair, but you get a much better value. Also, there are quite a bit of prebuilts that should compare to this desktop at $500-$600 range.
