    ...why not just buy a computer?

    You can say it's cheaper because you can get an X-Box used, etc., but you can say the same for hardware. This is especially true about the case, cd-rom, floppy, screen, fans, keyboard, mouse, hard drive, etc. People just need to buy an Athlon 64, a graphics card, a motherboard, and RAM.
