I have had nothing but ASUS laptops and built ASUS PC's for the past 15 years or so. It all started with my second PC. I decided it was time to move up from the used Boeing surplus hand me down that was given to me by my stepson. I did a bit of research, then went to my friendly neighborhood computer shop (remember those?) and the Zit Faced Propeller Head Kid filled a cardboard box with all the bits and pieces I needed to assemble what turned out to be a very nice desktop computer.
It cost about $800, and at the time was the fastest and nicest PC a person could have.
Since then I have built 5 or 6 machines, all for about the same amount of money, but each time as fast and as powerful as they could be. The last machine I built was a dual display CAD workstation. It cost a couple hundred bucks more because of the dual head video card and the extra monitors.
People always ask me if I can build them a computer, and when I quote a price they get all fuzzed up and whine that they can run down to the local Best Buy and get one for a couple hundred bucks. I tell them to go right ahead, and when they have problems with it, and the Zit Faced Propeller Head Kid at the Geek Squad counter can't fix it, don't come crying to me.
You get what you pay for, right?
