I prefer branded computers but also build clones for people that want to save money. Branded computers just work and are tested thoroughly. When ordering the parts for cloned computers (if ordering from different companies) the problem I always have is some part is broken on delivery and I have to ship it back, and wait two weeks to get a new part. If a company is building the clone computers for you I don't imagine this will be a problem though.

Price is a very important consideration - but if it's broken on delivery, at least you don't lose anything - it's just a pain in the a$$. It depends on how patient you are. :)

With clone computers you mean custom built?

Generally I prefer custom built computers.... You can make all the specs that you want, the case, the mobo etc...

But it's more hassle. Don't Dell make PCs to order?

I don't know, Dell are too much expensive in my country. Barely anyone buys them.

It's not much hassle, I like modding and upgrading my pc... myself!

I prefer to build my own. I feel it gives me more leeway as to what hardware I would like to see. I also find it a few hundred dollars cheaper.

Depends on your expertise, i prefer building my own computer, you get all the control you want not to mention the manual for the motherboard lol. Which means you can tweak it up later on when you systems spec need an upgrade. However buying an off the shelf computer means plug and play ;)
