You have to remember, PC custom build sites, sell a fraction of the amount of computers, than something else where it's easy to obtain a credit account, such as MOBILE PHONE or CABLE companies, as a person buys a PC maybe once every 5 years, and if you default on your bill, which you've done in the past, their margins are affected. With that said, they have to give credit accounts fairly, and if they give you an credit account, then they will be subjected for review for denying others with similar situations. That's what makes sense to me. Although, I would suggest MICROCENTER.com. You will spend less money on parts, and you pay an extra 130+ for them to build it for you. You can build something, to your budget, although again, it will be cost up front. Just you will save over other sites. I suggest you visit one of their locations, on site.
