I personally only buy PCs from Dell, since I have spent too much time 
piddling with
machines that are unreliable, don't work with (fill-in-the-blank, frequently 
the OS), are
not flexible enough to add peripherals without installing a SCSI card (which 
then won't
work with fill-in-the-blank), etc. Dells are always reliable, and worth the 
extra money.
But if you do build one, don't get the cheapest parts. Even a crappy fan can 
be a major
pain later. Of course, I hate sysadmin  work, so I am biased against it.
