PC is too general of a term to begin with. If anything, a custom build computer is a PC because you're building it according to your needs. A computer such as a Dell or HP wouldn't be very personal because it may be too strong or weak for whatever use it'll be put to.

Let's not complicate anything and keep using PC in the definition we're used to.

They are a PC. Even a Mac is a PC. A Personal Computer is just a Computer that is personal to that ones home need. That is the general meaning. What your talking about is called a Custom Build PC. Custom build for for some one what's to build for there own needs. Do you get it now.

A custom build PC is a realest PC you can get to. Oh and some crazy modded case.

When I talk about PC, I am not talking about "Personal Computers". I am talking about the TRADE MARK "PC". I did not know I sad ALL PCs were custom builds. I said the original OEM was the IBM, and everything else were "CLONES" which in its essence are custom builds. Until HP, Packard Bell, DELL etc came along.

its simple - if you dont know how to mess with computers and custom builds, dont mess with computers and custom builds!

if people dont know how to mess with custom builds, yet they do, and later the computer fails, its not computer's fault! its the stupid end user (builder) who ignores all the warnings and manuals ...

ps. i have an amd cpu .. so is my pc "WAMD" or "WindAMD" ?! i hate these terms!!!

"Wintel" used to be called "IBM Compatibles". So, they were Clones.

IBM made a Computer called the "IBM Personal Computer". That reminds of when Rockefeller made his Oil Company and called it "Standard Oil". It was Oil, but it wasn't a standard, it was just a trick to make people believe that's the only kind of Oil that you can buy.
