Buying VS. Building Your Own Turnkey System

“Can I build a system myself or should I have a company build one for me?”

To answer that question, there are many things to consider.  Below, we have listed the pros and cons:

Doing It Yourself

  • Research and design your system’s configuration
  • Shop and purchase individual components (Up to 25 to 30) hopefully everything is right and arrives in one piece.
  • Organized components and build your system (This could take at least 4 hours if you do it right and no interruption)
  • Install the operating system (hopefully to the correct hard drive)
  • Download and install latest driver for each component (more time consumption)
  • Configure your system for maximum performance to capture and edit video (involved tips and tweaks)
  • Install needed software in the right order and hopefully no errror messages pop up. Sometimes your system crashes during software installation if you don’t do it right.
  • Test the system and troubleshoot if anything arises
  • Waste more time waiting for someone to pick up a phone to help.
  • End up reinstalling everything again.
  • Overdose on aspirin and still not happy with your system.

More power to you if you feel you can build your own turnkey system.  Some people love to do that.  Most do not have the time nor energy to do such a thing and need to contemplate creativity and executing ideas.  There is one thing we do say to inquiring minds…

"Thank you for doing the remote update on my system. I got the updates necessary for all of my Adobe CS3 software and my nVidia video card. I strongly suggest users take advantage of this service because they might not be aware of how important it is to maintain a computer's power and ability. It was well worth the time. Thank you, DVGear!"
