i wanted to get a few parts put together before i get other parts. Does anyone know about this site: www.avadirect.com

I was going to get them put together the case, moterboard, chipset, and power supply and when i compared the price of they doing it to what i would have to pay for parts and labour if i do it the price is a mere 80 - 100 bucks difference.

what do you think???


Thanks

The power supply and motherboad install with just a screwdriver, so you don't need someone else for them.

By "chipset" do you mean the CPU, heatsink/fan, and RAM? The motherboard's chipset is already pre-installed.

Having them install and test a CPU is worth something, though it's easy to do yourself if you read the instructions that come with either a retail CPU or a separate heatsink/fan.

For the company you mention, check www.ResellerRatings.com and read why people like or dislike it.

I mean buying the motherboard and a intel q6600 to out in it....... the memory and graphics are easy to instal... u just push them in the slots..... i was reading guys talking about not putting in the chip right and problems they have....
