Hi folks,

Last time I bought parts from OC to build a PC myself both the PSU (Tagan) and one of the memory modules (GEIL Value) were faulty. Since I dont have a test bench with similar products to swap in and out it caused me all kinds of hassle trying to get things up and running and since then Ive just spec'd and asked whoever to build the machine for me so if a faulty part (or two) turns up they will be in a position to rectify the issue removing any annoyance on my part buying a new PC and having it not function.

So that leads me on to my question - If I spec a PC will the chaps at OC build it for me ?

Cheers :)

No as they sell their own range of prebuilt pc's. Have a look through the selection on the site and you can make some changes which they are happy to do within reason.
 
I think if your spending a lot they dont mind eg 1000+
Thought about a pc that they already have pre built? I know if you choose one they dont mind making a few changes?
 
not to contradict above, but i'm pretty sure they will do that for you as i have seen a few instances of mods saying "phone us up and we'll sort it" on these forums, providing you spend a reasonable amount i imagine though lol
 
This is what Im thinking about :

I specced up the rig in my sig which was just over £1500 at the time and I was told a no unless its one of their machines they sell built. Never hurts to ask as the worst is they will say no but I doubt it.
 
call our sales team

they will do you a custom build on three conditions

1. it wont pose a risk during shipping
2. there are no known compatibility issues with the spec
3. they are products with low failure rates that adhere to warranty requirements.

we only do i if you buy the complete system though

the parts you have already cant be used

To be cheeky everything is going to be new apart from HDD, just add a cheap small HDD to the build and then keep it or flog them. Then you can obvious install your own HDD and what not.

This is worth knowing, thanks for posting rjk.
 
Maybe you know a Mate or someone locally who can build it for you
if not you could look up a guide or something and build it your self its FUN ! and as long as you use your head and read the instructions with the parts and ask the fourm when stuck your been fine.
Builded my own pc back in 1999 after a mate let me down and from then on didn't look back :)

Hi mate.

I know how to build a PC, as I mentioned in my post its the fact I dont have a load of spare bits to pull in and out to check if something is knackered that I dont like. Takes the shine off a new system when your sitting there wondering why its not booting up or BSODing due to a faulty part but without spares you cant narrow down whats not playing ball :)

I always wondered this myself.

Why don't you just choose a pre-built system and change a couple of parts you don't like? Surely it can't be that different, you know they choose those parts for best compatibility/overclockability. OcUK team knows what their talking about :D
