Sorry if you found a bad supplier. Most will build systems to your exact
specifications or tell you the general tradeoffs of different options and
what you really need vs what you think you need.
Such as most people don't need a massive hard drive. Nor do you need a
massive amount of memory for most applications. Depending on what you are
doing you can also save a bunch of money on the video card. That allows
you
to put the money were it needs to go, in getting a better motherboard,
CPU,
and/or faster memory.
If you know what you want, you can buy it from the big name companies
too. The local make-it-yourself-shop's strength was in helping
people find what they wanted.
Yep, and that still takes place.
