Wasn't exactly sure where to post this so here goes:

Does anyone know of any good barebones companies, besides www.unitedmicro.com. NewEgg doesn't have a very good selection.

Thanks in advance.
 
build it yourself ... the hsf can get jarred during transit if the system is built for you.
 
Building your own system seems scary at first, but it isn't really all that difficult. Here are my suggestions..
1 determine what you want your system for, ie games general use, photoshop, dvd rendering ect

2 pick a platform, ie amd or intel.

3 decide on a budget

4 once you have figured out that then you can start shopping for components.

there are plenty of folks here that are able and willing to critque your build and help you get it right.

give us an idea on what you want to do with your computer and we will try to fill in the components for you based on your budget and needs.

unless you buy a retail computer, ie one allready set up from a store like best buy or something you are going to have to do some work on it. Even if you buy a barebones system you will still have to add some things to it to make it work, plus install the os, so if you are going to go to all that trouble why not get your own quality components and have the satisfaction that you built it your self.
 
Great, thanks guys, I guess I'm just gonna build it. I'm probably going to take your advice and start looking for components. Gotta get my budget right, etc. ;)

It's really exciting man....I'm sure everyone remembers their first time ;)

Anyway, when you decide on a budget, what you're looking to do with the computer, post back here and we'll give you some setups to mull over!
 
Yeah, it will be a little bit before I scrap some cash together, but I'm really happy over all of the help you guys are willing to offer. Thanks and it's a great community over here. :D

Heh, I remember my first build. After I checked, re-checked and re-re checked all my connections and such, I stared at it nervously for about 30 minutes before I got the nerve to power it on.

Be advised, building PC's is very addictive and you won't be able to stop. ;)
