Some people that are perfectly capable of building their own machine but may not for a couple reasons. Unfamiliar with a type of hardware such as water cooling like myself.Originally Posted by clesven
Or perhaps like some of my other experiences. I once purchased a Case, Motherboard, power supply, and CPU and memory from a new local computer store. Put it all together and it would crash every couple of minutes. I had the luxury of trouble shooting this problem; could it be a heat issue? No ok how about the memory? Ok no that’s not it, etc. Keep in mind this is a Xmas present which is time sensitive.
So I take it back to the store and have them look at it. They couldn’t get it to work either. Then even built another one just like it and couldn’t get it work. Come to find out a MONTH later that CPU, Motherboard, BIOS combo has known issues, which no documentation was available because of how new the hardware was. My sister got her new computer the end of Jan! Solution was to repalce the mother board with another brand. Abit FTL
So some people might search the internet for company that provides a good price, with a thirty dollar markup to build it. Given some of the past experiences I’ve had I look at it as insurance that I won’t have to go through that again!
How wrong I was in this case, f#$%^ in the arse once again. As for the sites you mentioned the machine I got that is now worthless and doesn’t function goes for $6000 on alien ware when I was shopping at the time. If they really can guarantee complete satisfaction for a $3200 markup for a pretty case and the name and you have the money. More power to ya.
