Pulling trigger on Jetline

[Orlaam 306]

I'm not in the mood to build a new computer.  It's just a PITA now to be honest.  The Jetline's are pricey, but having someone do all the work and make sure the system is functional would be nice.  I've never had a build failure, but years ago the amount of parts were more limited.  It's way too much work with compatibilities now. 

 Is this a crazy idea?  😄

I use https://pcpartpicker.com/ to build my systems. They check for compatibility of parts, find you the best prices of components and have build suggestions.

Of course having someone else build it is more convenient and hassle free....

Jetline is pricey and I considered them too.  I ended up buying a NewEgg ABS pre-built system.  Given the issues with NewEgg's build, I think I would have been better off with Jetline or similar custom builder.  I went pre-built because it was less expensive that trying to buy all the components.  That was late in 2020, during the pandemic shutdowns and everyone was buying computers so they could work from home.  Components were few and far between and the prices were outrageous.

Jetline is a good company I have bought two systems over the years. They are also very knowable  on any thing flightsim and they are there to help you when you have issues with ether hardware or software.

Buying a professionally built computer gives you a warranty over the whole system. Buying components and building it yourself only covers each component. If something fails to work it may not be obvious where the problem lies.

I used to build my own but since 2013 now buy professionally built computers. Chillblast in the UK is my preferred supplier.
