None atm, heard that many custom built ones have a high rate of crashing.

no I don't think they have a high rate of crashing.. my friends had his for years.. he just kept upgrading the parts when he needed it. Has no problem at all and it is still running

i custom build mine 3 yrs ago n it still runs sum latest games on low

n currently usins it. the only let down is my old p4 cpu its shit old man. lol, n 1GB of ram just isnt enought for me anymore, my grahics card is a radeon x1650 pro AGP. OS window xp pro.

i will be custom building another pc early next yr, will try get a amd quad core with ati x2900 with ddr2 dual channl 2GB ram n upgrae my 17" lcd mon to a 22" widescreen one with 450W psu think that should be able to power a x2900 gpu, n a 500 gb hard disk

Hehe...Sparks? That just too dangerous. I build many computers before, problems i encountered before only like, the ram is loose, wrong cpu speed setting or hardware compatibility. Never try to make the 'sparks' anywhere....
