I did have a thread about this quite a few months ago, but I can't be arsed dredging through this forum to find it, so I'm making another one.
Basically: does anyone want (or indeed need) a new PC built for them? I wouldn't actually charge for building it, the buyer would order the parts and have them delivered to me. I then stick all the parts together and post the finished box to the buyer. Lovely!
It doesn't necessarily have to be a high-end PC either, I can (most of the time) beat the likes of PC World etc when it comes to price and value and you'll end up with a completely tailored system with no silly extras or programs you don't need. I have some spares laying around at home so if you're really stuck for cash I can supply those for a discounted price.
If you are looking for a unique high-end build, then I know a few people in the PC customisation market so I could do full case spray-painting and modification as well as designing and fitting a complete watercooling loop. Obviously high-end PCs are more fun for me to build - especially if you want a watercooled and overclocked Core i7 rig - but I'm not really fussy, I'm just looking for something to do .
So, any takers? PM me if you'd want a custom quote - prices do change a bit but I always try to come in under-budget with a bit of wiggle-room

Re: Custom PC Builds Wanted
I'm interested, definately. I'll try and sort something out when I've got some money put together.
I don't know shit about PC's though, so you might have to recommend some good average priced parts for me!

That's pretty much the idea. You give me a price, I go off and find the parts, give you a list to order off various websites (I usually use a combination of eBuyer, Scan, Novatech and Dabs). You order the stuff and have it delivered to me, then I put it all together and send you the finished PC
Deadline-wise, I'm back off to university at the end of September, other than that I'm free any time

Re: Custom PC Builds Wanted
Craig i thought about this, might sound a bit mad but have you thought about sticking an ad up on craigslist (no pun) or Gumtree?
Or maybe just reaching out to a wider audience than us shitters?

Gee.... I don't know about the rest of you guys, but lately the only things that truly motivate me are erections and bowel movements.

It's not really something I want to advertise myself to do as such, I just want a few rigs to put together in my spare time because I'm bored. I can see what you mean though, but it would probably be too much hassle

The only other forum I'm an active member of is a watercooling and performance PC forum, so I doubt I can do anything those guys can't

Re: Custom PC Builds Wanted
Ok well that's fair enough, what i will say on my part is I'd personally be ok on doing everything besides watercooling. So the next time i do get some cash scurried away (I am going to be saving for a car as of next month though) for a comp i'll deffo get you over for some water sports (ohhhhhhhh matron etc)

Re: Custom PC Builds Wanted
I don't think I'd ever be comfortable having a water-cooled PC.
Too prang about things that could go wrong.
