Yeah but custom computers can be a nightmare in their own right. They can be far less stable since there's no guarantee that any good testing went into that configuration. Driver conflicts and such can cause many issues. But you can get what you want and not pay a penny more for crap you don't need like you will from Dell or Gateway or any other main vendor.

I'm not too big a fan of Stinkpads. I'm just not too impressed with them. One of the batches from 1 line last year is having tons of HD fails right now.....not looking good. Not to mention that stupid trackpoint thing pisses me off, but some of the newer ones have the touchpad.
