Why is it so hard to find a computer that will assemble loose parts?
Backstory: Finally after 3.5 years of planning, budgeting, specing and respecing the parts for a new computer made from top dollar top shelf parts I pulled the trigger.
I had thought that Best Buy's geek squad would be willing to assemble the parts after I had spoken with them a described exactly what I was planning, but when I get there with the parts they back peddle and start saying I need to buy 2 or 3 different protection plans which sent the cost of the service from $140 as I was told to over $375 with room for more to added as things came up.
So I turned down the service and went to Micro Center and nothing on their website for their computer building service says that the parts have to be bought at their store so again I have to find a different place.
I finally found a small locally owned computer store that would do the work with no strings attached and they are cheaper then the other places, but it will take 3 business days to get it done.
Well you know what they say...
