Do you still honor warranties if they upgrade themselves?

 

Having been part of a PC building business I can assure you you're going to be in for a tough time for a long time. A lot of the parts lists suggest to me you have a little bit to learn about things like RMA service with different companies, motherboard VRMs and PSU quality, etc. It's fun and all for now but how would you deal with a customer who had something in their system break? Would you be out a ton of money from your own pocket if something went wrong? What is special about your PC building business that separates it from Cyberpower or Puget?

We have a really simple policy about that. The computer goes through a Validation Period in the custody of the owner, after that, their warranty is valid as long as all components are left in the computer at the default configuration. What makes us special, is we are a service provider. We sell the computers at almost no markup whatsoever, and we sell services advertising computers at crazy low prices. The way we make money is in bulk, not selling to individual owners, but large firms. For example a recent sale we sold 10 computers to a engineering firm and charged them a $1000 service fee. The point is, calling ourselves a service provider, and being able to honestly tell customers that we sell them parts at no markup, we make money that way...only build fees. If a component were to break in their system as long as their warranty is valid, yes, we would replace the part with our own cash

You need quite a lot of money to do something like this. For Puget or Cyberpower it's not the end of the world to exchange a system with a dead hard drive for a completely new system but for someone setting this up with little to no money - doesn't work well that way.

Yeah, it would involve quite a hefty up-front cost to have systems ready and available.

I'm not the OP, but if I did something like this, and this is advice to the OP, I would have loaner systems on hand ready to go. 

Yes, if a pc breaks, we have two spares of every parts list ready. I swap the hard drive and give them a replacement system while we fix theirs.

The build with i5 7600k I would change the cooler and you don't need 750w PSU. Also I would get a Mobo with more red on it

I don't know how good is Glacier @STRMfrmXMN can tell?

Thermaltake SMART is shit and a bad value too

 

What's you with putting too much excessive power where not needed? Why 1000w for a single GTX 1080?

 

Okay, thanks. I will back down the PSU wattage
