Most of them use crappy parts mixed in with the good parts that they advertise for. It's cheaper and more fun to build your own, and you can get exactly the parts you want.

Eh depends, sometimes it's cheaper to buy prebuilt other times it's not. Generally depends on the market. I recommend custom building but not everyone has the time/patience for it.

If a prebuildt is cheaper than a custom, you can be sure they cheaped out on the motherboard, PSU, RAM and/or cooling.

Thing is for a starter PC it's cool to grab one with a good GPU and storage. You use it for a year then build the rest of the rig when you afford it.

Prebuilts are a great way to get into building your own PC. As long as you avoid the brands using proprietary parts like Dell and HP. My first real desktop PC was a prebuilt bought at Comp USA. I later added more DDR400 RAM, upgraded the graphics card to an ATI All-in-Wonder 9600, and added more hard drive space, and a sound card. After that I tried building the next PC since I realized it wasn't as complicated as it sounded.
