[QUOTE="Scoobydoo, post: 4106816, member: 564934"] The loss of value as soon as you open the box on an oem far outweighs the advantage of a warranty through the OEM, but if you are that pc illiterate definately get some sort of in home service Your gonna lose about 50% of what you paid as soon as you open the box on a prebuilt mainly because the components are priced higher than buying them retail. However with a home built even after you use it you could probably still sell it for 75-80% of what you paid $2000 Dell + just opening the box = $1000 Dell $2000 home built + 1 month of use = $1700 home built Walk down to your companies IT dept and yell "$200 to anyone willing to build me a pc" and you will still save money in the end and possibly make a new friend [/QUOTE]
