its easy!
(Homebuilt>(!Homebuild))==TRUE, always (as long as you manage it to build a functioning system)!
reason:
when you're homebuilding you wont pay the money for the guy who puts your parts together, you really know what is inside your rig, you can get all those you really want, you can build exactly that computer you want. additionally you can find the lowest prices on every component and save money in that way.
my opinion ;)

The HP for $719 + S/H which is about $32 :
AMD Athlon 64 3800+ processor
250 GB hard drive
1 GB of RAM
LightScribe multi-format DVD/CD burner with dual-layer support
9-in-1 memory card reader
ATI Radeon XPress 200 video card with up to 128 MB of shared video RAM

Mouse/Keyboard
The system from newegg.com $772.85 + S/H which is about $55 :
Microsoft Windows XP Home
AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+
Seagate Barracuda 7200.8 ST3250823AS 250GB 7200 RPM Serial ATA150 Hard
Drive
1 GB of RAM

I kinda prefer the XP Home vs the MCE just because we don't need it.
Any input on what you think would be the better idea would be
appreciated, thanks.
