I’m just curious. Don’t you guys in the west have custom pre builts , like people who build and sell PCs as a hobby.

I see all this hate for prebuilts. I bought mine prebuilt locally from a small ‘company’/group of college students. Got it perfectly assembled and 24/7 customer service.

And I live in a shithole , so obviously you guys must have such local pc enthusiast builders making custom pre builts.

My local chain of computer stores (Canada Computers) will build your computer for you for as little as $59.99 for an air-cooled system and up to $399.99 for a custom hard-tube open loop system.  They charge $20 for an OS install as part of the build (normally they charge $69.99 for OS installation).  If building it myself wasn't an option, I would do this 1000 times before I bought a pre-built system that had to be shipped.
