If you buy the right parts and overclock, you can safely build a machine
better than any $3K+ storebought PC for $1500-$2000.
The retailers won't do this though, for legal/contractual reasons; not because it's dangerous. The software onboard many motherboards will even allow you to do it from within a menu. You just have to do your homework before choosing components.
Also, this is a bad time to buy with it being summer and Doom3 coming out etc - prices of parts have gone up from where they were 3 or 6 months ago. I'm waiting 'till late Sept or Oct before I start mine.
