A custom computer can be of much better quality.  But, they will cost
more for the same thing (no economies of scale, less intigration, no
good software deals with Microsoft).  And, most screwdriver shops push
crap (no-name parts and cases that cut you) so that they can get their
price to something that looks good compared to the price of a name
brand at a big store.
