What kind of video card? What speed RAM and HDD?
The issue with buying pre-built ones is that you don't have control over what kind of parts are put it - they just tell you what you want to know - P4 blah-blah Ghz, ___ MB RAM, ___ GB HDD, etc. What you don't know is the performance of the other components - motherboard, the kind of RAM, etc. Plus the graphics cards that come on the Sony desktops (except for the very expensive models) are usually low-end cards.
If you don't want to buy all the components but want control over what's in your system, go on eBay:
http://computers.listings.ebay.com/Desktop-PCs_W0QQfromZR4QQsacategoryZ3736QQsocmdZListingItemList
On the left side, enter your specs (CPU speed, etc. - put Any for brand).
You'll get a listing - many of the systems on eBay are made by small shops - some of them have great deals.
A friend of mine got a P4 2.8 (800FSB), Asus P4P800-D, 2x256 DDR400, 120GB 7200RPM 8MB, ATI All-In-Wonder Radeon 9800 Pro, DVD+-RW, XP Pro - all for $800 I think - which is pretty decent....
His system is pretty nice - he got it from this guy's eBay Store:

Anyway - so there are a number of ways to go - just gotta do some research depending on what you want and how much you want to spend.
