checking online for prices and compatibility for a new build for a customer. I miss ordering all the parts, going through the list in my head to ensure I didn't forget anything, making sure the ram was compatible, etc. I just don't get many builds anymore, what with the big companies selling units for cheaper than I can buy the parts alone.

They make their cash back with bloatware, trialware, and just plain shoddy parts. Consider this an official request to bring back the good old days!
