"Pick and Mix" PC Building
Right.
I'm planning to upgrade - my current PC is 4 years old and exhibiting behavioural problems. I'd like to just be able to order the main bits (M/Board, CPU, Case, etc) and get them assembled and sent on to me - (For various reasons, I don't want to fiddle about doing it myself...) Anyone recommend any online vendors that offer this sort of service? |

Jeremiah Harbottle coughed up some electrons that declared:

You might be better off going to a traditional computer shop (not PC World) on the High Street - those are the sort of people who are likely to manage this. Cheers Tim |

I was just thinking how wonderful life was, when "Jeremiah Harbottle"
opened his gob and said: Anyone recommend any online vendors that offer this sort of service? I looked into this a while ago and there was only one contender, especially as I know they have excellent CS; http://www.cclonline.com/product-cat...category_id=81 . Would not hesitate to use them again and again. -- Cheers, Guy ** Stress - the condition brought about by having to ** resist the temptation to beat the living daylights ** out of someone who richly deserves it. |

Why? Most buy their bits in from the large internet retailers so should be able to get exactly what is specced. -- James |

opened his gob and said: not really, you get a choice of 3 things prob: diy get a local person/company to sort it for you buy a pc from a big brand name Many online vendors offer this service. IIRC, I narrowed my choice down to 4. -- Cheers, Guy ** Stress - the condition brought about by having to ** resist the temptation to beat the living daylights ** out of someone who richly deserves it. |

Anyone recommend any online vendors that offer this sort of service? Try http://www.komplett.co.uk/k/cc.aspx?bn=10306 I've used them for bits only but am happy with prices, delivery & service. I used Aria in Jan '05. A few problems but I was very satisfied with the way they were sorted out. My understanding (NOT personal knowledge) is that they are so good now though. Regards, vj |

Why? Most buy their bits in from the large internet retailers so should be able to get exactly what is specced. Ta guys for all your responses - I eventually just did it myself (Reason I was looking at having it built by someone else is because of lack of time). Got all the bits from a variety of places in the end - Ebuyer, Tekheads (Have they changed ownership? Used to be run by some bloke called Sam who used to post here years ago.), overclockers (Not very impressed - took a while to dispatch, and unfortunately when they did finally dispatch they hit a postal strike that has delayed it even further!), svp and even (Shudder) PC-World (The case I wanted was there for a good price - order online and pick up). I initially ordered m/board & video card from a place called "xcase" - www.xcase.co.uk. After about 5 days of inactivity on the order, and two e-mails, they finally dropped me a line to say the m/b wasn't in stock... would I like to cancel or change the m/board. Won't be using them again! [I had everything else ready and waiting, as well]. Also required a cable to convert IEEE socket to ten pin front panel header - managed to find one at a place called Cable City. |
