computer builders.

Hi, i have decided on my spec but i need a computer builder to build it for me as i dont think i could.
i assumed overclockers would build it for me but i have been told they want and only will make slight adjustments to they're computers.

not sure if this is allowed but can someone list a few computer builders.
private message me if prefered.

To be honest, its much more beneficial for you if you learn how to do it yourself, its quite simple tbh, you may be able to find a decent guide on google, sorry =/ got the lazy bug.

I could help if you're near me. Sure other forums members would do the same!

Failing that, there are plenty guides on the internet, and you can even buy books telling you how to! :eek:

wales is a big place whittle it down to a town and chances are somebody will be near you......

coupe69 · 16 Jan 2011 at 21:13

Nice build, but I think you're going to have to be more specific than just "Wales"

Newport, Cardiff, Swansea, Haverfordwest? Come on give us a clue

There's a fair few miles between Newport and Haverfordwest.

Kouba · 16 Jan 2011 at 21:16

Ouch, thats an extremely expensive build, I can see why he'd rather have someone experienced do it for him.

matt_griff · 16 Jan 2011 at 21:20

i live about 20 miles from cardiff place called merthyr tydfil.

coupe69 · 16 Jan 2011 at 21:23

If you really don't fancy building it yourself have you not considered buying one of overclockers builds? Something like this might suit you?

I understand your point being a bit wary to build it yourself, it looks expensive. But if you are unable to find anyone, im sure if you took your time and posted any problems or questions in detail on these forums you would get through the build with no problems at all

Ginger-Menace · 16 Jan 2011 at 21:36

why not just build it your self, its pretty simple just take your time and read the guides that come with the mobo, + you will have more satisfaction from it, i'v just built my second rig, and it took (dont laugh!) 5 hours, but thats because i read everything jsut to be sure as i spent quite a lot on it lol plus there was the cable managment !

jms198 · 16 Jan 2011 at 21:54

Have a look at all the guides on the net. Take your time and read through the instructions a few times. Everythig goe sin one way round, it can't be difficult as there are now so many people doing it.

I was going to see if you wer near me and then offer to help; after seeing your spec list It turned into a no way incase I break something! The silver arrow may b the most difficult bit

JonJ678 · 16 Jan 2011 at 21:54

That's a pretty expensive computer; I'm certain they'll assemble it for you. If you get through to a monkey, escalate to management.

It'll help if you pick whichever prebuilt looks most like it and then propose a long list of adjustments to it.

There's no shame in not assembling it, some people are mechanically inclined and others aren't. It can also be an expensive learning curve.
