Built it myself over several years.

 

[Tharwen]

Nope. It was built by the lovely people over at Cyberpower. It's still feckin' awesome though.

 

[Pielikey]

Yep, from the motherboard to the monitor, everything was bought individually.

 

[Jark212]

No, because I'd find a way to screw it up...

 

[Jefw]

My dad built it =D.

I'm really lucky to have someone who's so skilled with computers as a father.
He probably built me a +2000? computer with my old pc and about 500? worth of components

 

[lacktheknack]

I chose the third option, because I told Alienware how to build it and they did.

Also, I gutted it and replaced all the parts over time. The only thing in it that's original is the chassis and the disk drive.

 

[DeepComet5581]

No. It was built by EXPERTS at Dell.

Although I do maintain it myself when required.

Also, I did Overclock my old system.

 

[SomeGuyNamedKy]

I didn't build my PC, but I've built many gaming PCs for friends of mine.

[UlteriorMotive]

Nope, I'm actually reading a book about building a PC.
I'm going to give it a try on something simple (and really cheap).

 

[Radeonx]

I built my desktop, but not my laptop.
I've been building my own computers since I was around 12.

 

[Forever of the Stars]

I helped a friend of mine build it, then four years later (now) my laptop died and he was moving far away and didn't want to pay to ship it, so i bought it off of him the entire thing seemed a little weird but yes in a sort of roundabout way i half-built mine. I'm not gonna get into specs as they're fairly laughable

 

[Italian Stalion]

you guys seem to have some pretty nice systems I had a pretty limiting budget but I think I did pretty well
CPU: Anthlon2 440rana 3ghz x3 {unlocked to 3ghz x4}

HDD: 320GB 7200 RPM

[Marter]

Nope, it's a laptop. My father built his computer though.

 

[DefunctTheory]

Built my own. Inside one of these.

And no, I wont post the specs. It's... well, it was state of the art three years ago...

...awww...

 

[Quaxar]

This one? I bought it quite a few years ago fully built and use it mainly as a working station (although graphics have been updated to serve my needs).
But I've built the other three PCs in this house game-ready, even if they are not used as gaming PCs. Dual core, decent graphic card and stuff, I don't remember everything at the moment and quite frankly it's not that impressive anyway I guess.

 

[capin Rob]

LUL! hell no, I bet it's hard as hell. Unless it's easy, then I'll try.

 

[MorsePacific]

I built my rig by hand a few years ago and it crapped out on me last week, which means upgrade time.

My current specs are:
Core

CPU: Intel Pentium Dual-Core E5400
Motherboard: ASUS P5N-D Green
GPU: nVidia 9500GT(OC)
HDD: 500GB SATAII
RAM: 4GB DDR2 800
PSU: Antec SomethingOrOtherThatCameWithMyCase
CD/DVD: Samsung CD/DVD
Cooling: Stock
Operating System: Windows 7 Professional

Peripheral

Monitor: Acer 20" @ 1600x900
Mouse: Standard wired mouse
Keyboard: Even more standard wired keyboard
Case: Antec InsertModelHere

It's a little old, but it works perfectly.
