Hey Guys.

Looking to upgrade my PC and im trying to just find a decent pre-built supplier I can work with. I dont mind paying a small premium for a build thats all ready for me when I recieve it :)

So far I have found the IBuyPower Revolt System:
http://www.ibuypower.com/Product/Revolt

Which I can configure with a 4670K and a ASRock Z87E-ITX for $1123 after tax and shipping.

Pricing the system at Amazon, for the same components, comes to $1116.17 after tax and shipping.


I also found the AVAQDirect BitFenix build:
http://www.avadirect.com/mini-gaming-pc-configurator.asp?PRID=27760

This one came out a little more expensive, but wasnt terrible.

I am very unaware of any other providers for this sort of thing. I was just wondering if anyone could point me to any other builders you may be aware of?

Thanks!
 
Digital Storm's Bolt II, imo the most perfect SFF case I have ever seen.

Maingear has some SFF cases which include one with FT03 mini.

Then there's the Alienware X51 from Dell although they use a custom psu.

There is also NCIX, they have some preselected systems and you can change whatever you want. Or they have the option of charging $50 ontop of whatever parts you pick to have it built.
 
The NCIX looks fantastic. $860 for a full build 4670K with 16Gb of ram in a Bitfenix Prodigy. Anyone know NCIX builds are? Is the cable management legit? For a SFF thats pretty important to me.
 
I'm assuming they vary from store to store but in Canada and my specific store had pretty good cable management. I would rate it about 8 or 9/10 but honestly the bitfenix prodigy is huge so you shouldn't be worried about anything.
 
Xotic PC sells a version of the ASRock M8 chassis:

That is if you're looking for the really small form factor. They also have EVGA Hadron, FT03 Mini, Node 304/Prodigy, and Node 605 builds too.

I've ordered through them and they're super helpful. I ordered a laptop though, so I'm not quite sure of their build quality when it comes to stuff like cable management, but I haven't heard anything bad about them either.

Thanks, those do look nice though. The biggest thing though is I have a 660TI I would like to keep using, and those all require a GPU in build. If I could get a build with intel integrated that would be best. They do look like nice builds though.
 
If you want it fairly custom but don't want to build it yourself, maybe you can find a fellow enthusiast in your area that can do the assembly work for a reasonable fee?

Alternately, you can contact one of the boutique builders and ask them specifically if they'd be willing to sell you a system sans graphics card, but with all the wiring in place. You can just tell them flat out that you already have a card. Worst they can say is "no."
