Building A Computer...

[Gethimout]

Not me but I don't deal with pre build PC's as I always build my own and their component parts seem about 10% - 15% higher than most other sites I use.

You pays your money you takes your choice.

Of course. Just not confindent in building my own that's all!

Honestly, if it's something you want to do it really is a piece of piss. Youtube it.

its like lego for grown ups (geeks)

As these lads state it is not difficult and there are hundreds of online tutorials.

I'll watch some videos and swat up on it all before i commit to it.

Thanks for your help guys.

Cheers for all the help on this. I've been looking on dinopc.com and found a gaming pc i like with all the specs i want. Has anyone experienced any problems with them before?

I've never heard or dealt with DinoPC but that doesn't mean they are bad

I deal with Overclockers and Ebuyer daily (I sell to them) and also people like Novaech, Dabs, Scan etc....

I've been building my own PC's for years but had one built for me by Overclockers literally last week coz I wanted to see what the build quality was like

Have to say I am really impressed - their website is pretty good and allows you to spec your own parts - if they are not listed you can just phone them and they will build to order

Alternatively they have per-built systems for among already on site so one of these might be good enough for your needs ?

It's definitely a little more expensive than building your own but has the guarantee that it will work out of the box and if you have any problems it's for them to sort out rather than you.

i've used Overclockers in the past and had trouble with RMAs, coupled with the fact their forum is populated by people who make the mongs on thisis seem like intellectual geniuses, i steer clear now.

never had a problem with Ebuyer although when i purchased the components for my current PC, Scan worked out a fair bit cheaper so went with them.

I've always bought components from Scan and Ebuyer.

Only had to RMA once to Ebuyer for a PSU that was DOA and they were very good at sending a replacement.
