yes, it skips having to assemble it; I get those scenarios. but your motivation for the thread "This is why people buy consoles/prebuilts". the problem that you had here, it being a pre-built would not have changed this situation, right? unless it's very new and would have been under warranty?

except for the warranty you cannot escape the fact that the computer can fail and you can choose to repair it yourself or take it somewhere to be repaired. that's always the case. (except with a console you may actually lose the ability to repair it yourself.)
