If you comfortable building you own just order the parts online from the likes of Ascent etc. If your smart enough to realise that the Dell at the warehouse is not for you then your smart enough to build your own PC. | Pete O'Neil (250) | ||

Don't worry, i wouldn't buy a Dell. We had laptops from them at work a couple years ago & they where the pits. I have to use a Dell laptop at work now, but these (Latitude D600) are a bit better, but still, everyweek i complain to the IT guy wanting a Athlon 64M, buy his hands are tied. I could possibly buy my own, not to good with building things, my collection of broken models & ships i just didn't quite get right showed that before i had to throw them out :D) Also, with the premade system usally costing abit less than the indiviual parts, are you not paying in the price of the parts to have them assemble it? ?:| PS is there a complete guide (in all or parts) to building your own PC in PC World Mag? |

| 276989 | 2004-10-01 01:08:00 | There are some good guides in the PC World mags over the last few years re building your own 'puter - and quite a few of them are archived on the site . There are also quite a few sites on the net with step by step instructions . I found this (www.pcmech.com) site very useful when I first had a go at building my own PC . | KatiMike (242) | ||
| 276990 | 2004-10-01 01:10:00 | oh forgot to mention Ascent will build up a computer for you with the components you specify - look under the PC Builder tab | KatiMike (242) | ||

Hi Will grap the old PC World mags of our IT manager & have a look thru. The site looks helpful, thanks for that. Apart from Ascent & OEM, are there any others that offer a Build your own PC service? Thanks all |

| 276996 | 2004-10-01 03:08:00 | The hardest part about building your own PC is mounting the CPU, if you brought your CPU and Motherboard locally im sure who ever you brought it from would mount it for free or a small fee. I do alot of my shopping with PCTronix (Onehunga) now days, their prices arent the cheapest but the service is second to none. Very upfront and honest, would only sell you a ECS motherboard or a Celeron if he couldnt convince you to buy something that wasnt a pile of crap. |
