I consider myself fairly computer savvy, I can operate one very well, but when it comes to building one, I'm pretty lost. I tried building myself a HTPC about 5 years ago and it works, but I took me 5-10 hours of researching components, ordering and assembling. Then there was a few more hours of research to figure out why certain components weren't playing nicely with each other.
That was for a personal machine and I did it in my spare time (before I had kids, now I don't remember what spare time is!) So the time spent wasn't an issue. But for my business, in the 10-15 hours I spent in total, I can be making much more than the sign burst computer costs by producing jobs rather than researching everything I need in a computer, makes more sense to order something that will work out of the box and go back to making signs.
