Any Custom Build Companies?

Hello,

I would like to have a new FSX system built for me because there is no way I'd be able to do it myself.  I really have no computer building experience and would feel more comfortable if it was done professionally.

I pretty much know exactly what I want as far as hardware and would like to customize the system the way I want it, rather than a pre-made rig.  Unfortunately, I don't know of any reputable computer businesses.  I've done a google search for custom gaming computers etc., but I figured I would check with you guys to see if you can recommend any.

A lot of companies "claim" to do this sort of thing but tend to be pants. What kind of budget do you have? If you give us an idea of that we can recommend parts and most decent computer stores could probably assemble if for you without any problem ;)

We all thought we "couldn't" at some point, I know I did.

After some research and education, some from PC websites, a LOT from here I learned how to build and maintain a PC.

I haven't looked back since.. and have also built a few for friends.. AND built a couple for "friends of friends" for a small profit.

No such thing as can't.

;)

I did try once and that's all it took for me to realize I was in over my head.  I fried a new motherboard trying to update BIOS and had to buy a brand new one.  Eventually, I had to have a buddy build it anyway.  Unfortunately he moved across country or I'd ask him again.

I envy you guys that build your own rigs.  I appreciate the encouragement, but I'd rather leave it to the pros.
