We always offer free initial evaluation, which means
we look at your system with you when you walk through the door in
the hope that maybe your issue will be just an easy fix. Most of the
time we can narrow down the issues from the initial evaluation. That
is why we can give you a price to fix what is not functioning. We
see a lot of self-built and pre-built systems that do not function,
if we can not see a simple or obvious fix, we will have to put the
system through testing, which is a nominal fee of $250. What this
includes is:
1. Fully disassembling the system
2. Testing
all the components for design functionality.
3. Check the way it
was assembled, wiring, component placement, parts damage, etc.
4. Check
for bent pins on CPU, motherboard, and other components
5. Reassembling
the system and wire routing / Cable Management
6. Loading
or fixing operating system and drivers
7. Functional
testing of a fully loaded system. (burn-in test)
The $250 is a ‘token’ and does
not cover the amount of time and labor that goes into assembling,
testing, reassembling, and fix/loading the operating system on your
computer. We are always fair with what we charge for labor, if you
paid for testing and we found a quick fix for your system (not
requiring the full diagnostic testing) we will apply a portion of
the labor charge to part or parts that it might need. The labor
charge is all that you pay in labor, if you need replacement parts,
you can purchase them or we can, if we buy the part – then you only
pay for the part, no extra labor. You always have the option of
getting the replacement parts yourself and we will just install them
and the drives under the same $250 that you already have paid.
We try to make it simple and easy to get your system back up
and running in the shortest time possible. Keep in mind that
building customer systems is time consuming and may take up to a
couple of days to complete.
I have the parts and want someone to build the system for me…
We will gladly build your system with your parts, which usually the
same $250 to build and load the OS. We also, before putting the
system together, make sure that all your parts will work together.
We have been seeing more and more people buying re-manufactured or
used parts for their system and they don’t always work, that is
where the testing come in to make sure that system works as
designed.
The best way to build your own system…
Go to
PCPartsPicker.com, which
will let you pick parts, see compatibility, show you pricing and
where you can purchase the parts. You can try to put it together or
just give us your parts and we will assemble it for you. Most people
don’t have a realistic idea of what a gaming system will cost,
PCPartsPicker.com will give
you a better idea of what you are looking at for overall cost.
