Stores that build your Rig for you

cwb50 · Jun 30, 2014

So I am extremely scared to actually assemble my own Computer parts.... I am not exactly gentle or patient and my hands are really shakey.... So I though, I will make a PC Part list, order the parts, then I will take them somewhere and they will put it all together for me...

Does such a place exist?

I found this website: http://www.microcenter.com/site/content/instore-service-complete-build.aspx?storeID=095
They have a store like 10 miles from me, but I'm not sure exactly.... But it looks like they are charging $100 for this service

any ideas?

Yes, it will cost $100 for them to build it.

Microcenter is great, but to be honest, the mods and other long time users here are more knowledgeable than Microcenter employees. They will not mess up your computer, but, for example, I could probably do a better job with cable management than they can.

Building a computer is VERY easy and DEFINITELY not worth paying someone $100 to do it.

I don't know about microcenter, but OriginPC makes premade builds and send them to you (even in a wood crate if you wish).

I mean if I screw something up that $300 down the drain possibly depending on the part

tiny voices · Jun 30, 2014

Honestly it is REALLY hard to screw something up unless you intentionally like throw something or force something way too hard.

I watched a NewEgg video and they said if you start putting the CPU in like a quarter of an inch off you will mess the whole thing up

tiny voices · Jun 30, 2014

No, you have to take your parts in the store and wait a day or whatever.

That is REALLY hard to mess up.

Man it just sounds so bad

I wish that these things didn't seem all fragile

If you were local to me, you would have to invest 1 saturday afternoon, and a case of beer.
Buy the parts, bring them over, and you and I would build it together.

But since you have a Microcenter 10 miles from you, you're not local...

Seriously, though. It is pretty easy.

tiny voices · Jun 30, 2014

They really aren't that fragile. You are just scaring yourself. Its easy. I built my first PC with ZERO experience and NO tutorial and I have no issue at all.

Which microcenter do you live close to?

cwb50 · Jun 30, 2014

USAFRet :

That would be awesome, I kid you not

tiny voices :

Its a lot of money for a college kid to just break it ya know?

I live near the St. Louis/Brentwood store

tiny voices · Jun 30, 2014

Darn. not local to me either.

tiny voices :

does the warranty cover you screwing up the assembly?

tiny voices · Jun 30, 2014

Not if you break something by like smashing it.

Honestly, these are not hand grenades. You will not break anything.

tiny voices :

Ok... i guess just watch lots of tutorials first?

If i have to pay $100, my build will have to lose a $100 of stuff lol

No, but that is actually hard to do.
Take your time, follow the various tutorials, don't force it if it doesn't fit, and buy quality parts.

Some years ago, I came home to find my 11 year old son and his buddies with 3 differently broken xboxes spread across the living room floor.
Each had something different wrong. They combined all 3 and made a working one.
Not much different.
