Custom Built Computers
Why are our Custom Computers better than ones found at retail centers? (Top of page)
- The PC's sold at the retail shops from the major manufacturers (including most Dell, Compaq, HP and Gateway computers) are built with either proprietary (including case design) or integrated hardware. What does that mean you ask? below is the explanation for both terms;
- Proprietary - This means the hardware was specially designed for or by the manufacturer and you would need to go through them for repair or replacement.
- Integrated - This means that most hardware is part of the main systemboard and if for example the video adapter goes bad the whole systemboard would need to be replaced.
Our custom PC's are built from standard industry hardware components (case included) and not integrated on the systemboard. In some cases depending on systemboard used it may have the Network Interface, Sound and Modem contollers integrated into the systemboard. We do not use intergrated video unless requested by client!
We do not use low-end components that can cause incompatiblitiy or performance issues, we use well known components from well known manufacturers like Asus, Abit, MSI, Gigabyte, ATI and nVidia just to name a few. Our PC's have high ventilation because heat is a systems worst enemy! This policy may mean that our PC's are not going to be the lowest priced available, but you can be sure they are high quality! We also test (burnin) all systems before they are delivered to the client.
We only charge to build and ship the system, we charge you the same amount for the components as we pay rounded up to the nearest dollar!
