I build my own. I choose the case, motherboard, CPU, RAM, graphics card, storage, power supply, operating system, etc. Plenty of mom and pop stores, and computer boutiques that offer a multitude of options. For pretty much the same reason I don't buy Apple computers, I don't buy desktops from Dell, HP, etc. If only I had the manual dexterity for it, I'd build my own laptops, too.
