Building a computer is fine for a home user but corporations require cheap machines at large quantities that can be imaged and cloned over and over again. Building custom computers may result in some anomalies between components or a shortage of same components. Proprietary power supplies are not a big deal when it comes to losing tens of thousands of dollars in I.T. budgets from hardware problems.
