I would just buy that computer.

I don't think you will build anything better.

And I doubt you even know what a DVD-RAM drive is, I didn't until I looked it up.

Lightscribe is quite cool, but a indelible marker is a lot easier.

Marker pen is quicker and easier - I have to be honest and say I rarely use the lightscribe function!

Yea, I don't think I would use it when I get a drive with lightscribe, but i'm getting one anyway, as it's only £1-£2 more expensive, and it's worth it for me even if I only use it once or twice.

so you guys agree/disagree with the guy stating that it would be better to buy the premade computer?

Yeah, the premade is pretty damn good. I'd just pick that up.

I wouldn't worry. Whatever it has with it will work (it for sure has one, i just can't read Swedish so I don't know WHAT It has). Given the attention to detail the rest of the build displays, I'm sure it's a good Corsair or something.

You would hope so, but you never know. What's probably actually best, if get the prebuilt, then having a look to see what PSU it has installed with it, if it's a cheap crappy one, buy yourself a corsair unit, and swap them, nice an easy.
