NEver build someone a computer, unless your blood related, and even then think twice.
I built a former co-worker a computer. Athlon 2800+, Asus mobo, Crucial memory SATA HD, Radeon 9600 AGP.
Burned it in for hours, and ran SiSoft SANDRA burn-in wizard. The same routine I've done for multiple machines for work, myself, and family members.
It runs like a top. Everything runs great on it. Jedi Outcast is unbelievable.
But one application (Adobe Premiere) which {surprise} happens to be a cracked version, crashes.
And it's my fault. The computer is junk. WTF????
Just a vent, and hopefully something to think about when someone asks you to build a computer for them. It most likely wouldn't be a problem. But who knows?
If any of you guys ever do do it, I'd recommend putting something in writing that says that you're not responsible if there's a problem with copied software.
