Custom Built Computers w/ Upgradable Foundations!

I have recently have been custom building PCs for my friends who want something that they can easily upgrade when the time comes. I currently am finsihing a few computers and am open to sell them on FIPG. They would be $749.99 each (Paypal or Money Order). They have the options of being sent with a o 19" Monitor (add $249.99). The specs are as followed, and as a request I will put in custom parts which I have access to for wholesale prices. (Ex. A Better GFX Card) Shipping will be around $40

Anyways, here are the specs

Your Choice of Case As Long As You Pay The Price According to NewEgg.

I really hope people endulge themselves with this because I really hope this is a success.

I don;t allow thread crapping but please comment on what needs to be added/taken away tothe computer!

You should show a price breakdown. The price seems really steep for a computer that is not very powerful at all. Your making like 150-200$ margin on these...

80GB is also not much of an HD size.

I checked the prices out on NewEgg (+ S&H) and without a Case, but including shipping, he's making about a $45 profit I think.

i made a better computer months ago for only around 550 for a friend.. he's charing a bunch on top

Yup that's about it, I am using Newegg as my pricer so unless there is a dependable site with cheaper prices (the price will stay the same).

I forgot that there will be a Mistsumi USB 2.0 Internal DigiCard Reader with Floppy Drive

not trying to threadcrap but for $750 its very possible to get a better store bought computer with a full 1 year manufacturer warranty on all the parts.

warranty on all parts will be included from 1-10 years depending on manufacturer.

wow a 219" monitor that is huge...

I wonder if I could fit that monitor in my dorm room?

Not to threadcrap, but CorsairValue select is kinda crappy, I have 1 gig of some geil thats really nice for the price. I wouldn't recommend this comp for gaming at all (

Well then i guess the topic thread name, this computer is meant for upgrades. And if you were a gamer you would know that a 1 Gig Stick although it allows tou to add on more memory is quite a bit slower than 2 512 sticks. Just a little fact you mnight not know!

how about dell?

u can get a sick comp from dell for 700

not exactly, Dell gives you a computer that starts at 700 and then you pick out what you want. so unless you want the lowest of everything than sure pay $700

as a tech I agree but your $750 is better spent with them (you will get more for your $$)

I love my dell, it has never failed me.....It's beautiful and fast, all I could ask for....Explain what you mean by awful, it's always been one of my favorite computer brands....

Dell is notorious for using cheap components, and having poor design. But like i said, with their prices, you get what you pay for.

would be worth about $500 for me

you might have better luck at local college campuses and such. Online you'll get techies who can build a better computer for less

u can get an xps with a 2.8 dual core processor.. an ultra sharp monitor..

and the same if not better specs for 999.99..

same price as urs

There's a lot to be said for a high-end custom-built PC, and you don't custom-build PC's to save money. Any custom-built PC that is worth anything WILL cost more than a roughly equivalent off-the-shelf PC. That said, that isn't a high-end PC. For that quality of PC I'd also suggest Dell and have a warranty behind it.

I custom build ALL of my own PC's, and have for about 12 years now. Of the 7 desktops at home, all are custom built -- the only off-the-shelf PC's I own are laptops. However I always point OTHER people to Dell if they want off-the-shelf at a good price. I've used and purchased many Dells for work and clients and they have always been good to me.

Unless you're going to provide a warranty and service contract on your PC, I don't think you'll have many takers. Selling PC's over the internet without the resources to back it up is extremely risky, both for seller and buyer. It's one thing to do it for local friends where you can easily hop over there or have them bring it to you, to address the inevitable problems, but trying to do it as a hobby via mail-order is probably not a wise idea.

Not thread crapping, just injecting a note of business reality.

I;m definitely starting to do more of that, just thought with all these comps being built, no reason not to0 sell one of them. Althouhg I'll probably end this thread with that, I will still build computers for any takers.

My laptop has very similar specs (minus GPU spec) but i paid around $650 shock

Dell Inspiron E1405

Intel Duo Core T2300 1.66Ghz
512 MB DDR2 (1Dimm)
60GB Sata HD
TrueLife Ultra Sharp Screen
DVD+/-RW
Remote
Window XP Media Center


Any taker?

I got a Dell E510 with 2.8 dual core, 1GB RAM, 160 HHD, etc..
for $400 shipped on ebay.
Got a Dell ultrasharp 20.1" 2007fp for $350 shipped on ebay.
total $750.
got it 2 weeks ago, and I'm pretty happy.
