well i dont know about PC's when they were originally around, maybe certain companies like IBM made the entire computer themselves.
nowadays tho, companies just buy the parts from others and put em together same as anyone would. Dell bought these parts from nvidia to build it. and maybe it has a sony DVD drive in it. or a seagate or WD hd in it. but thier all parts that are for anyone to buy.

and i totally agree with you that most people dont know how, or are intimadated, i feel they think its way too hard for them so they just dont try at all.


you see more and more companies apearing on the web that sell prebuilt computers, because at the moment, its an easy business to get into, buy parts, put together, sell at a profit. thats how companies like dell and gateway got started.


and no, maybe most people dont know what things like SLI mean, but thats not needed to know to make your own computer. im not saying everyone will know how to make a super computer like this one from dell. because the better a computer is the more knowledge you have to know of what does what to make it more powerful. But to build a basic computer you dont have to know that much, and you simply learn from there.
But your right, most people are intimadated by such thoughts.

BTW, SLI is simply a little bracket to connect 2 video cards together, so they run as one, but with more power then just 1 can do. connets them like a bridge from board to board.
