Recommendations for online custom PC builders??
A freind of mine has asked me to build a computer for her family.
Because of some time issues, I can't take on the request right now, and have recommended we take her budget and go to one of several online custom configuration/builders. At the moment I'm leaning towards httP:www.mwave.com and http://neocomputers.com If anybody has any enthusiastic recommendations for other custom configurable online sources, I'd be interested in hearing about them. The family has some pretty well defined user requirments, and I have better than average knowledge of ability to make smart technical choices...just no time to devote to the building at this time. Anyway...your recommendations are solicited (I am looking forward to the chance to apply somebody else's relatively generous budget to this task!) Thanks in advance. |

Unless you have some very special requirements and plan on getting
into/upgrading her families box frequently you really cannot beat Dell. Their massive purchasing power gets them components far cheaper, plus they have a 3 yr warranty.

I recommend reading customer reviews on each company at www.resellerratings.com. We are constantly ranked near the top (out of over 4700 companies!) for Customer Satisfaction, Likelihood of Future Purchases, Technical Support and Return/Replacement. --- Kevin Chalker, Owner KC COMPUTERS E-mail: Web: www.kc-computers.com Internet dealer for 13+ years!!!

I avoid Dell/HP/Gateway et. al (except for laptops) for a number of reasons. One of the ways they can discount prices is by bulk purchasing. While this does certainly provide some advantages for pricing, this can result in end users forced to use components that may not be suited for their particular needs. All of these vendors also have the unfortunate tendency to drift towards proprietary hardward and software soulutions (like the Dell power supply situation and the amazing practice of providing a "recovery disk" instead of an actual copy of the OS.) In this case, I'm fortunate to be working with a generous budget (of somebody elses!), a long lead time, and an informed user who has some very well defined needs (get one kid through the last 3 years of HS production, keep a budding gamer happy and let Mom work on her digital photography activities). A couple of folks have suggested reseller ratings, a site I use often, as a QC step. I'm probably headed to mwave.com or one of a couple of local shops for a custom build, but just wanted to see if there were any other hidden gems out there.... |
