THIS THREAD IS ONLY FOR SEEING WHO WOULD BE INTERESTED; THIS SERVICE IS NOT CURRENTLY ACTIVE

Often referred to as the PC King or PC God, I believe I know my way around the computer quite well. Sadly, a lot of us don't and will therefore pay over the odds for a PC built by Dell or HP.

Now, little do many of you know that you can save hundreds of pounds/dollars by buying the parts yourself and doing a little plug and play DIY job.

However, many of us are a little scared to do that so I'll use my technical know how and do it for you.

To start off this will be a service offered to UK residents ONLY, I may expand to other areas in the EU and USA if it proves to be successful.

I will be charging for this service, although not very much:

A small fee of $50/£30, this does exclude shipping which you will need to pay for both ways.

Payments will have to be made through bank transfer, you can still report me if you're still not convinced I'm an honest bloke but I can't risk PayPal and their Charge-back galore policy.

Who would be interested?

I would do the USA and Europe but it's a pain to ship, so unless it proved worthwhile it's just a PITA.

A better idea would be for us to ship them to you, its no point some one paying for parts to be delivered to them just to deliver them to you and back again?

Some sites require shipping address to be the same as the billing address.

Also, many US sites don't ship to the UK.

It's easier the way I've listed it, but if it can go to me direct then that is the better option.

Would you buy the parts and build it, and we pay you?

No, you buy the parts, pay me the disclosed fee (£30) and get them sent to me.

I will then receive the parts, build the system, run several benchmarks on the system and install Windows if requested (copy will need to be bought with PC). I will also overclock if you so desire it (3.2GHz to 4GHz for example).

After I'm certain the PC is ready to ship I'll send it off to you.
