Custom PC Build

Build a PC to your specification.

The standard components you need to build a PC are:-

  • System case
  • Power supply unit (usually supplied with case but check first anyway)
  • Motherboard (make sure it fits the case you are buying)
  • CPU
  • Memory
  • Sound card (most motherboards have built in sound capability)
  • Graphics card (most motherboards have built in graphics capability)
  • Hard Disk Drive
  • Keyboard & Mouse
  • DVD/CD Writer (not required but you probably wouldn't want to be without it)

The above are pretty much the basics to build a PC. But we are happy to build whatever meets your taste. It could be anything from small, quiet, futuristic, powerful, water cooled, stylish, or even a PC for your car (did that once!!). Tell us what you want and we'll do the rest. These days, PC's come in a variety of flavours. To give you an idea of what you could build, check out the following geeky web site http://www.mini-itx.com/

It's usually a good idea to do your homework first before going out and buying the components. A good rule of thumb is to buy all the parts from the same supplier (if you're not that knowledgeable on the subject) because there's a good chance that all the components will fit together and they will know what parts will be compatible. Plus your warranty will become less complicated.

If you know roughly what you want but haven't a clue what to buy, feel free to call and I would be happy to help you out.
