Hey guys,

Does anyone know an online PC building service? Like you select the components you want they build it for you. I've found some but they require all parts to be bought (for example: i need to include a graphics card while i already have one from my old pc). Any tips? Thanks.

If it is just a video card, you could find one that ships a model with just on-board and it yourself.

You can try:

Or possibly

http://www.pugetsystems.com/

I just checked both of them and you can order a setup with just on-board graphics.

Anything behind add-in stuff (video card, extra hard drives, etc) becomes a liability issue.

For example, you may know that your graphics card is good. However, for all they know your graphics card causes major issues (just using this as example).

Different analogy: Most auto repair shops (unless you are really good friends or they are hard up for cash) will not let you bring in your own parts. Why? They are new in the box? Well the reason why is similar to the reason why a PC builder wouldn't let you add parts. They can not know for sure where those parts came from or what condition they were in before. Since they are selling you a service/product they would be responsible for it and it causes liability issues. For example: Going to a service station and having them preform a brake job with your provided parts. If the shop agrees, they are taking on the liability of the job and could be found liable in court if something happened.

Anyways, I hope you get the point and understand.
