Where to buy Best Custom Already Built Desktop PC? - GoFuckYourself.com

Persius · 01-06-2009, 09:35 PM

Asking for a friend...

Something like http://alienware.com/

Or is it better to build it custom and go one by one.. i was gonan say this but seeing how prices are dropping for everything might be a good time to save sometime and have it already built and ready to ship.

What you think any cool sites ?

There's probably some little shop where you live building them right now. They'll even support them if/when the time comes.

uno · 01-06-2009, 09:37 PM

I know you're metro, but man up and build one yourself.

Agreed. I would recommend asking around locally. There is some super geek doing them.

I almost bought from alienware, but their systems were just not set up like I wanted, and they offered so few sections. I ended up going to ibuypower.com, but I would not recommend them. Their system is solid, but their support sucks major balls.

newegg.com I hear is good.

I have built my own from the ground up before. However, now a days I simply do not have the time or patience. I would rather pay someone else to build me a machine to my specs, and support it.

i would custom build it part by part, thats what i did with mine

Last I checked, none of those places are building them...like I mentioned in my suggestion.

I'm talking about someone who figured out they can make a buck building computers. You can and probably find a few within 15 minutes of your house. They are everywhere, you just have to look.

PersianKitty · 01-06-2009, 09:46 PM

Local is best. Then if there are issues you have support at hand.

Locally here we have a place called http://www.infotechnow.com/

They do custom orders online also.

There are 3 gaming desktops in my household that they've done in the last couple of years. ...

Funny .. I have the oldest computer and laptop of anyone in my immediate family.

I just built a new i7 overclocked to 4ghz for about $1200(I already had video card). It's the fastest machine I've ever had, and I keep on top of that shit(3D animation).

If you want a Newegg parts list of the components I used, let me know.

Avoid Alienware unless you don't care about money. Their rigs are overpriced.

Build your own rig using 2 websites: http://www.tomshardware.com and http://www.newegg.com. Lurk on the forums in Toms Hardware, ask questions, etc. Buy everything from newegg. You can build an uber gaming rig for $1,500 easy.

Kre8t0r · 01-06-2009, 10:26 PM

bought 3 from here...love their service.

Not bad. They have an i7 920 rig for 1200 bucks.

The 965 is overpriced, though. You can boost the 920 to a 965 with some overclocking.

They make great machines, but they're just as overpriced as Alienware, imo.

Persius · 01-07-2009, 04:00 PM

mac is overpriced

96ukssob · 01-07-2009, 04:06 PM

my brother is big into gaming and used to have 2 alienwares before in the past and just built something from http://www.cyberpowerpc.com, says its just as good for 1/4 the price
