Well that will be fun when one component goes faulty (e.g RAM) and you
have
to send the whole thing back.

Strangely, not such a negative when I take everything into account.


So if you got a system with 1GB of RAM (2x512MB) and one stick was faulty,
you'd be happy sending the whole thing away for a couple of weeks for them
to test and replace that one stick? even though you could use the PC
perfectly with just the one 512MB stick.

At least if you build the system yourself you won't invalidate any
guarantees by poking around inside the PC at any later time (even if
it is simply to find out whether it is one of those memory sticks that
is causing the problems!)..

The likelihood is that even opening the case is likely to invalidate
any warrantee on a built to order system. Correct?

Usually no as its part of the functionality of a PC to allow upgrades.
There is a difference though between opening up to upgrade and
tampering around then finding it doesn't work after :-)
