Survey says: homebrew PCs most reliable

Yes, it's a survey, and yes, the surveyed weren't asked to do anything like install performance monitoring software or hand over their machines for a few days for a double-blind study, but apparently the nerds who build their own machines not only garnered the highest average surveyed numbers for reliability but also scored really well in service. Not a  surprise when you figure that anyone who can build their own PC probably knows how to fix it up, too. But either way they seem pretty stoked on their own PC building skills, and we won't harsh on that mellow. The thing is that the part of the survey where local joints (i.e. small time  PC makers) scored almost equally well is kind of strange (most of the local joints we've ever seen are really bad ripoffs). Oh and Apple also came out on top of the charts, so obviously pride in your computer has
nothing to do with how well you think it performs. We kid, we kid!
