Gekko basically said everything I was going to say, but I'd like to re-emphisize two points.

Number 1: Make sure that what you put together is compatible if it's a windows machine, and make sure you understand how to set it up.

Number 2: There's no tech support so if you fry your CD-R/Rw dribve, you have to buy a new one without warrenty. Building your own computer is cheaper as Gekko said because you don't pay for manual labor and parts, or in some cases shipping. But on the toher hand, you have no warrenty either, so it's up to you to troubleshoot any problems.

I'll actually add some of my own tips now.

Tip #1. Buy some static discharge fingerbands for your wrists and fingers, a little bit of static electricity can do a LOT of damge.

Tip #2. Work in a Clean area with Clean tools and NO Food, food causes deaths to many computers, also be sure to discharge your tools on the Power Box inside your computer (It's the one you plug into the wall and has al the warinings on it).

Tip #3. I know this is hard for alot of people, but READ THE MOTHERBOARD INSTRUCTIONS FIRST!!!!!! If you don't it'll bite you in the ass, trust me on this one. Also read the other component's insturctions, but always read about the motherboard first before you take the plunge.

I hope this helps, if you ned to find static tape, try any electronics store, resist the urge to eat around the machine, and if something isn't compatiblle try to return it unused and buy a part that is compatible.
