Building a PC

[Rdaws]

I am not technicaly advanced at building computers. My friend bought all the parts for the computer. Now heres me question. How much would it cost for a pro to put it together?

Welcome to the forum!

They may charge $75 or so. Just guessing..depends on where you live.

But everyone here will tell you to do it yourself and we'll help! lol

buying the parts is accually the hardest part...the rest is just plugign something in to where it looks like it goes there could be a few other things like jumpering but thats really easy too and thermal paste if its not a stock HSF but yes dont be afraid to ask questions here

most people I know charge 25-40 an hour and it will probobly take them about 2-3 hours

[Rdaws]

Thats what I thought. I mean I'm sure I could do it. But I know nothing about BIOS! Thats where I get lost. But I am taking Advanced Computers next month but thats too long! LOL

[thePh@r@oh]

actually it will probably only take about 20 minutes but they will "charge" for about 3 hours. Do it yourself dont be afraid. Dont worry about the BIOS leave it as it comes.

[Rdaws]

So I dont mess with BIOS?

[thePh@r@oh]

no you normally dont have to.
most of the time its good to go out of the box

[Omardeth]

there isn't really much to do in the bios now adays to be honest .

20 min is rather fast to build a pc . but it doesn't take long thats for sure .

[John Prophet]

BIOS isnt the end of the world..MOST of it can be left as it is at default. Or else set stuff to "auto" as much as possible.

Make sure the part are all compatible with each other.
post what you have and we can guide you.
comon sence and being able to read the specs on the MB (jumpers and case connectors) are all there is to it really.

No charge for TechImo help......
