PC builders

Hi

Does anyone know of anyone / where i can get a PC built whereby i will supply all the parts but just need it all putting together.

 

Don't really want to do it myself, it doesn't look too difficult but i know it will go wrong as soon as i start building it.

 

Can anyone recommend anyone? I wanted to supply my own parts hence i was staying away from PC shops as they would presumably want to use their own.

 

Thanks

Give it a try yourself. Its not hard, its like lego. If something cant fit with a tiny bit of force then it doesn't go there :)

 

Theres bound to be videos of it on youtube and guides knocking around the internet.

One essential but often overlooked sensible precaution when undertaking ANY component handling is STATIC discharge.

 

Ensure you are earthed using proper equipment.

 

Depending on when you want this doing as a one off you can meet me at the warehouse with your kit and i will assist you to do it yourself.

 

I used to build these a while back and still do occasionally for friends and family.

I still have trade accounts with some good suppliers so other alternative is get a list of parts (if you dont know these either let me know what you intend to do with pc) i will then see how much i can get them at trade.

 

NOTE this is a one off although should anyone want any assistance later on i could arrange at a nominal fee thats very likely to be less than most pc shops and im happy to be a guide instead of a come back tomorrow type affair.

 

Pc's are that complicated but what is complicated is getting the right components sitting alongside each other.

 

eg its no good having a super fast processor but marrying it to a slow motherboard or bad/not enough memory.

 

Build is about quality and choice of components NOT about processor size.

 

ABOVE ALL DO NOT HANDLE COMPONENTS outside their protective packets (they are in special anti static bags for a reason) if it dont work when you switch it on you will only have yourself to blame

if your getting the parts yourself you may aswell try and build it yourself, all the warrantys are in your name so anything goes wrong you can get it replaced (as long as you werent doing anything you shouldnt).

compaired to a few years ago putting together a pc is a piece of cake (and for me its far easier than baking a cake) you literally just plug things into there corrisponding slots, the mobo manual will explain what every slot is so there shouldnt be any confusion. just set aside around 4-5 hours in a quiet room and your sorted.

once your sure everything is plugged in just wack in the OS disc and off you go. the most difficult thing you are likely to come across is fitting the processor heatsink, which can be fiddly, but with a bit of patience it should go in fine.

I build dozens over the years and the only problem I ever had and still do is fitting those fiddly little plugs connecting the little lights on the case to the mobo I've fingers like sausages

I take them to my son 30 and it takes him about 40 seconds to connect them all clever git

If it was left to me I'd still be on my first

 

So after all that yes try it yourself you can't beat the feeling when it first starts up and watch the static :thumbsup::thumbsup:
