Mastertekhelp - Custom computers

Recommended Posts

Greetings all,


I have recently constructed my own service pitch based on how I have actively been able to help family members and friends. In a nutshell: I'd love to be able to give specialist advice to those who want to buy computers as well offer the service to build a custom made computer. I am highly experienced with computer building, part finding and troubleshooting; additionally I have personally built a number of computers for family and friends.


Please note, as reference to the forum rules, that I am based in East Dulwich just nearby to Lordship Lane.


What is the problem? When buying a computer, you often need to spend a lot of time thinking about what you want to use it for and whether the specifications will be up to your standards. Most people may not understand how each component within a computer works or what different parts do what, and let's face it, if you want to invest in a computer for the long term, you want to make sure everything is 100% right!


Buying a pre-built desktop computer from stores isn't a problem at all. The only issue is that that most of the time the quality of parts used is more or less substandard, truth be told each computer part has an endless range of manufacturers to pick from, usually the pre-built desktops have the lower end of hardware only to save costs.


Why do quality parts matter? Performance, reliability and efficiency, in that order. Without going into too many details with technical jargon, high-quality parts that are trusted among the computer building community will most definitely give you the best value for money overall as well as the best performance. With these tried and true computer parts you can forget about hardware failing on you and having to deal with companies to get such things replaced all the time.


Believe it or not, there is one computer component that should NEVER be compromised on for safety reasons above all. This part in particular is the power supply; I would be willing to guarantee that 99% of computers in store use a low cost, low quality power supply. The power supply is the soul of the computer, it is the reason the computer works, a low quality one could be a significant safety hazard.


What can be done? Well I'd like to be able to offer my expertise on what to buy as well as a service to construct a custom computer based on your own preferences. These preferences can simply be whether you just want to watch movies, browse the internet, play games, use it for work or all of the above.


There are sites which allow you to construct a pseudo-customized computers but these do not go into any detail on what should be purchased for your needs, they do not give any guidance or advice at all. The other major problem with these sites is that they do not list even 1% of manufacturers that you can buy from for each part, everything is rather vague so you wouldn't be too sure what you are getting. I'd love to be able to completely eliminate this ambiguity and just tell people what does what, what to buy as well as what would be recommended for best reliability and performance.


If you would like some advice or some idea of what a custom computer might involve, please contact me with a rough price range you would like to stick to and what you would like the computer to be aimed towards, such as gaming, work or anything else.


If anyone has any questions, please feel free to ask. I hope I have not written too much!

I recently had a custom computer built by Abdul. I was looking for a fairly cheap computer between 300-500 pounds that I could use for my business.


The computer cost me less than half of what something in PC world would have been with more or less the same specs. I had a flash drive installed, and I must say that my computer loads everything up in less than a few seconds, people really don't tell you about this kind of stuff!


I am well happy with the advice given on what quality parts were used and all questions I had were answered promptly.


Highly recommended.

    • With fibre you are paying for the speed, which is the number, yours is 300 so if you did a lot of gaming, for example, you would want the fastest possible.  If it's just office work or maybe streaming on Netflix you likely won't need as fast, but, if there are a lot of people in your house all doing their own thing on different devices, then faster speeds are better.  I don't rely on my Wi-Fi much other than when I am using my mobile.  I use Ethernet cables to connect up everything, I Have one cable running from my router, along the skirtings and through a hole I drilled in the wall to another room.  I have attached the plusnet speed guide which gives you an idea of how it works.   
    • I'd reread what you posted and try to summarise.  It just comes across as a rant.
    • Just shows, to me, once proud to be a citizen of UK.. now.. well if we pay/contribute to services - nhs, police, fire etc and folk who have made this there home - no matter what creed or culture.. for the love c of God, can someone  please explain to me.. how we have working royals who like them or not, have tried and continue to actually support and make a change and then we have Andrew.. who just destroys everything.. not just him, or royalty but his own children..  I had great admiration for The Queen - and respect.. as have a huge number of people.. but.. these old traditions where gosh.. live rent free and can’t get chucked out until I believe 2070? From what I scanned..well he has and continues to have it all.. has to go thru what old rules? Etc.  doubt very much he has even kept the upkeep maintenance up on his abode.. and do the shite keeps on pulling up.. What has Andrew done for UK or for that matter since he was 20?? Do please tell me       Totally off topic, before anyone jumps down my throat.. I just do not get how anyone is proud to be British at this point in time. Whoever is in power, seems to be able to help themselves to the public purse with no redress at all - Covid is a great example of lining of pockets.. Millions  given to Rowanda, so one is led to believe, to help with refugee problem and one can’t get a plane load off!  I simply do not get it at all. Use of food banks in UK growing yearly, homeless as well, nhs, police, fire service etc all on their knees..        
    • Have applied the green roof at a number of properties and no issues you are concerned about detected. Have issues with cats defecating in the vicinity, however, they are not selecting the green roof specifically. Use decent compost, slow release fertiliser specific for green roofs, and lay it methodically not leaving blank patches. It looks amazing when cared for and adds value.
