I'll build the next one like I built this one. Usually once a year I build a new one and sell off the parts of the old one or keep them around for spares so there is no down time. It's easier to stay current that way than to go every couple of years trying to catch up.

Custom built.. Definately. Once I've learnt how to..
I've had all kinds of trouble with my 2 previous experiences buying prebuilt systems by Packard Bell.

I don't know when I will upgrade my powerhouse. With Dualies my comp is really fast ATM and I don't see a reason to upgrade.

I will build my own, I always do

I wouldn't mind getting a better laptop then my PIII

My parents used to buy those horrible PC's back in the day. No wonder they went under.

I'm going to get a G4 in a year or two. I just can't stand Windows's quirks and crashyness everywhere. At least OS X just works.

Explain. Virtually everything I use on Windows has a Mac counterpart, including many games.

I'm getting a prebuilt PC, though I would like to custom make a rig, but I simply don't have the time. Maybe if money is a great issue I may do so with some advice from my hardware friends, as custom building is so much cheaper.
