I don't even bother buying prebuilt desktops in Canada because the components are always snazzy. As I get older, I'll probably just use the PC builder from memory express or newegg and pay them the $100 to build the PC for me. The only prebuilts that I buy are laptops.

Yeah same with the UK. Availability is usually ok. Prebuilt PC's can be good and offer really good value and some within MSRP of individual components. I mean its one way of getting a decent value if you need a new PC or new GPU (now). GPU's now are like double what it should be from retailers (AiB) across the board on RX/RTX cards. Which takes the wind out of going normal DiY build rn. But things might be looking up since ETH dropping like rock.

I do like the fact that you do get aftercare service if things don't agree with you. For a lot of people that time saved in building and having a fallback is worth extra in itself. I'm just kinda old school and the last prebuilt I got was in the early 2000's lol.

Yea pretty much. ETH is supposed to make the transition to Proof of Stake model in July so that is when mining should tank as the next popular mining coin is RavenX but it's no where near ETH's value and not really profitable. It's kinda funny how the mining boom is like Covid for PC gaming. And ETH transition is like the Vaccine that will hopefully stop the mining craze!
