Barebone pc customize your own computer

Barebones, custom pcs, buy only what you need. With so much spent on computers these days an extra hard drive or memory chip can easily save a few hundred dollars when purchasing half built systems. You then install the missing drives or cards and have a powerful pc faster than the previous pc, all for half the price. This is what some folks do and its called barebone pcs. I've purchased a few of these in the passed and it seems to gamble if the parts i had would work on it or not. Fortunately these sites are giving more options, drop down menu gives buyers ability to choose a wide range with choices such as with or without dvd drive. I can save a few dollars there, as well as settling for an ok casing. Most of the time there are a few dollars upgrade so tempting making the final cost a bit heavier than originally planned. Light up fans aren't neccessary but understandable.
