I was wondering if you guys could give me a couple of links (as many as possible) to any professional website that allows the customer to build his own computer. I know dell, hp, and gateway allow you to build your own pc but as you all might notice, they are much more expensive than what it really should be since they are huge corporations. Thanx for any help
http://www.pugetsystems.com/ or http://www.alienware.com/ or http://www.madkad.co.uk/ or http://www.hostyourweb.net/pcdoctor/custom.htm or http://www.custombuiltpcsystems.com/ or http://www.customworldonline.com/ hope u find these useful
http://www.newegg.com and http://www.tigerdirect.com both are good stores to bu parts they have a ton of rebate and promos
and what r u tryin to say about my sites lol, it would help ppl if u told them were abouts ur from, u never no ozzy may be able to do ya a deal .
huh? i am just sayong thos are some sites... newegg is located in california and tigerdirect in Illionois......USA....lol if that is what you meant wdowsing actualy ozzy could sell me parts he lives like an hour or so away from me...lol
2cool it was meant in good humor lol, but im am now confused on what u meant sk8basist do u mean an online computer store that u can chose components to for them to install and get everything working or do u mean as in u will buy the parts and u build it??
yeah i know im thinking about building it yourself... but the only problem is matching up the case with the motherboard and power supply, it can be such a hassle since they all have to be the right form and have to have the right openings (case) on the back for the ports. Thats the only reason why i considered building it from a site.
If you are looking to do it yourself I would go with newegg.com, great prices. I recently rebuilt my PC with nothing but newegg gear and saved alot of money over other retailers. If you want to have someone else do try cyberpowerpc.com, I believe they are in California and I have had good experiences with them in the past. That is if you are stateside. Good luck
I like to consider myself pretty knowledgeable with computers, but I have never custom built one here. So a question for you: If I bought this processor right here (http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1477441&Tab=0&NoMapp=0, expesnive, yes, so I peobally will not buy it, but to use it as an example) with a Socket 775 connector, am I correct in assuming that I need a socket 775 mobo?
All Intel are socket 775 so for that one(if you are gonna get it),you would need a socket 775 motherboard that supports Dual core CPU's
So, theoritically (spelling?), one like this (http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1547347&CatId=1533) would work since it says it supports Intel Pentium D Processors. I'm not going to get this one, but I'm just trying to make sure I'm looking the right way. I might not buy the previous processor, but I am very intersted in a Dual Core PC. What do you think is better? A 3.8 GHz P4 or a Pentium D Dual-Core 3.2GHz. I've heard the the processor speed is moe important that how many cores are in it.
Raceman64: If I were you I would go for a dual core AMD not Intel for starters. Second off what kind of work do you do on your computer? I suggest buying a computer that will handle 4 megs of ram and a 939 socket processor. Also consider the PCI-E slots that are offered on the board. You have such a broad question that it is hard to answer. Reply to my questions and you will get a better response.
@Ozzy I don't need parts i had already built my PC..........And i think i am like a few hours your from like Harrisburg right i/m kinda near the Philli area
2 and a half by turnpile then to me. But anyway sorry I got confused cause I was skimmimg the thread and do apologige.
I play a lot of computer games and I do a lot of video editing for my college classes. That's why I was wondering what you reccommend.
