Any good for what? Web surfing and general office use, sure it is fine.
Games, video work or some other demanding use, not a chance.
Old P4 cpu
little memory
old video card
well if I can get the Fahcore to work properly I'll be devoting this computer to the folding and use another comp for personal use. I'll fold on that one as well but this comp is old.
You are correct of course, they do cost money. However the learning and satisfaction are definitely worth it. The other benefit is you get what you want, not what is in a pre-build.
You could always have a look here to save even more money.
The other up side to building your own is the assistance available from our very own forum.:)
