Ok everyone. I'm trying to make some money so that I don't have to mooch off my parent's and so that I will have some spending money. Basically this service is for me to build you a computer matching either your specifications or your budget. As I currently am low on funds, the first few people will sadly have to pay for the parts or send me the money for them before i can order. You will be responsible for shipping costs to you, including packing supplies. Every build wll have the parts put into a wishlist on a Newegg or other compatible site for you to look over and approve. Once I get a few customers I will be able to buy the parts for you and then you will pay upon the computer's completion. All computers are guaranteed to work when I send them out to you. If for any reason a part malfunctions or breaks within 7 days of you recieving it, contact me immediately so we can fix the problem. All payments can be made through Paypal. If you're interested please either PM me or post here.

EDIT: Wasn't posted and wanted to be sure everybody read this as well. I charge a labor fee of $10 an hour for my time.

Do you do laptops?

UB3R 1337 H4X · 08-09-2008, 03:33 PM

Yes I could. I would just have to look into that one a little bit more but if I can get the parts then yes absolutely.

Done With Ya · 08-09-2008, 03:34 PM

To be honest, don't do this. He could easily scam you. It is really easy to build computers anyways. Also, you can't build a laptop. Well, you can, but would cost nearly double of having someone else do it.

UB3R 1337 H4X · 08-09-2008, 03:36 PM

Fair enough by me, it's a matter of trust... anybody could easily scam you out of anything to be brutally honest... thats why I even said once I get enough money to do it I will pay for the parts in advanced so that way they just pay right before I ship the computer... and this is for the people who don't want to worry about screwing it up or just don't know where to start.

assault14 · 08-09-2008, 03:42 PM

he could scam you... but he can not its a risk you have to take, and i think this is a fair business, and i wouldnt want people crashing it down

ill look in to it once i get some more money, thanks!

My only suggestion would be that you change how you will be paid... no one would really trust an "hourly" service.

UB3R 1337 H4X · 08-09-2008, 03:50 PM

Thats what my thought was. Well I could either videotape me working on it or i could just say X amount for one type of setup and x amount for another?

faster154 · 08-09-2008, 03:52 PM

But it doesnt really take too long to build a PC.
I built my PC in about 2 1/2 hours...Including Set up

Yes I realize this. Therefore I would only be making 20 bucks total or so which to me seems pretty modest.

ub3r u might want to add in a middle man. if u finish the computer and the guy back out ur screw. one person doin that will fuk up ur whole plan. becareful

Yes I realize this. If they pay for the parts up front though... theres no way they can back out. Once I'm buying the parts though I'll definitely be considering an MM.

Why are you even bothering to post here?

itami · 08-09-2008, 04:03 PM

Don't waste your time with building a laptop, it's a LOT more complicated and will cost you more parts/labor.

Maybe you should put out free estimates or compile a wish list at certain budgets. Would also help if you posted a few things you would need to know EX: What do you use your computer for? Gaming and other things like that.

UB3R 1337 H4X · 08-09-2008, 04:08 PM

Yea that's probably a good idea... I'll go ahead and work on that over today and tonight and have everything posted tommorow. If you guys have any questions... you can also reach me on AIM at UB3R1337H4XCN.

EDIT: If you are worried about me scamming you, any customers will receive my full details and we can speak over Skype or normal phones at your discretion. This way you will know where to send the cops if anything goes awry.

shmo70 · 08-09-2008, 04:13 PM

Building a pc isn't hard at all. Someone who never built before can just read the manuals that come with the parts and figure it out themselves or look for a guide online like-> http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/...ng-pc,511.html
It will also cost more to have it be built from someone because you will have to pay double shipping for the parts, shipping for the parts to be sent to the builder and then shippping for it to be sent to you.

UB3R 1337 H4X it would be easier for you to get money by getting a job at geeksquad or some other pc shop. Or by fixing pc's for people who live around you.

This is merely a convienence for people who don't have the time or patience to build it on their own. No matter what you will have to pay for shipping to the buyer even if bought from Dell etc. Some sites, namely Newegg where I shop for PC parts, have free three-day shipping which means no shipping cost to me.

Gamezman · 08-09-2008, 04:37 PM

If your willing to buy all the parts in advance for me then i will do the deal.

I want the following:
-Liquid cooling case
- nvidia 1gb 8800 (2 512mb in SLI)
- Intel core 2 duo extreme @ minimum 3.0ghz
-4 gb ram
-320 gb hdd

All put together along with psu etc.

I will pay you $80 to put it together+the parts+shipping to me.

UB3R 1337 H4X · 08-09-2008, 04:43 PM

Something that expensive I'm NEVER going to buy upfront. Theres no way I would need that much so if someone decided they didn't want it anymore I would be out of that money.

You could always sell it on ebay, but that would be a very expensive computer to build. Good luck with your business.

True that would always be an option but I would still lose fees, which would be astronomical.

To those saying it would be expensive for shipping and everything else, the amount saved buying the individual parts would more than likely cover the shipping cost.
