We prefer Clones for one main reason.  Repairing and upgrading clones PCs is cheaper than Name Brand.  Also, in most cases, the clone PC is cheaper to purchase as well.  The reason is simple.  Each name brand manufacturer wants to have the “monopoly” over your PC.  All the parts inside the computer have to be bought from the manufacturer.  In some cases, the cost of those parts can be more than double the cost of clone parts.   Most clone PC makers use the standard ATX case – that means that you can go to almost any clone PC maker or dealer and they can sell you upgrades and parts for your machine.  If you choose a reputable clone PC maker or dealer, you can expect the same quality machine as the name brands, with the same quality service.  In fact, many clones are considered better performance machines at a better value!
