The point is, that dell uses substandard parts. what does that mean? When you custom build you get the best parts you can find, when your dell you get the best deal on ok parts.
tech support - dell tech support to a good builder no compario
warranty - i offer lifetime labor, free labor on upgrades, upgrades at parts costs
warranty parts - 3-5 yrs on almost all major parts
junkware- dell pc is full junk you might as well as build it yourelf you have to reload the os
finally tuning!
we hand tune systems for max performace - dell does too, kind of - if you spend $7000-$10,000 - we do it on every pc starting at $1800
