Where to buy a custom built PC?

[dslr_sc]

Can anyone suggest some good places to buy a custom built PC? Should I look for someone local or go with an online company? Any thoughts on Ibuypower? There are also some ebay system builders that look interesting.

Please don't suggest that I build one myself... I am in no way competent enough to handle that!

Depends on what you want. If you want a PC for NLE, you can try some of the NLE specialists. The only one I've delt with is ADK Video Editing, and I'm pretty happy with what they did for me.

Try avadirect.com They are excellent and built a computer for me last year. You can use their online configurator to customize your build. They have a "10" rating on resellerratings.com from 611 responses. Takes about 3 weeks for them to get it to you. Also excellent 3 year support. You really need to research this to see what specs will give the best results if this will be your NLE computer. Here are my computer, NLE and camera specs.

Edius 5 NLE software, HDSPARK PCIE card (for realtime preview on HDTV), Asus P6T Deluxe mobo, i7-920 processor, Antec 900-2 case, Corsair 650 watt p.s., Corsair 3GB XMS3 PC3-12800 DDR3, Sapphire HD4830, WD 160GB Caviar system drive , 1TD WD Caviar Black AV dirve, Lite-on IHAS324 DVD Burner, Sound Blaster X-FI Titanium sound card, Vista 32 bit Operating System, Amtron P2 card reader, Samsung LN19A330 HDTV, Panasonic HPX170.

Yes, this would be for an NLE workstation running CS5. Thanks!

I don't suppose anyone knows something about Magic-Micro? They're an Ebay retailer.

They have a "7" which is a marginal rating at http://www.resellerratings.com/store/MagicMicro
I would not want to deal with any company unless they had a rating of "9" or above. But, hey its what ever "you" are comfortable with.

If you were in Portland, I would strongly recommend www.enuinc.com, but I don't think they do mail-order outside the area.

PS: It is helpful to complete your profile so we know where you are.

One of the best in system builders is http://www.boxxtech.com/

They specialize working with our industry but......not cheap.

Way cheap to go with newegg.com and assemble yourself. I built an amazing PC for about $700.

Check out

They have the best deals, rating and best deal on parts I've seen so far.

Don't go to the workstations- they're overpriced. You can get good parts in the gaming section with good quality cases like the haf x.

Sorry the right link is below
