    Hi all,

    Just wondering if anyone here could build a pc for me or knows someone who offers this service?

    I'm terrible at cable management and get stressed.

    Of course will pay for service.

    Have all parts etc

    Dublin based.

    K regards

    Keith

    Most of the parts are hard to get wrong, they only fit into the right plugs etc.

    I've only built one PC but it wasn't too bad if you take your time? I'd offer to help myself but cable management wouldn't be what I call a strength :D

    It's a very simple process, watch a few YouTube guides and try have a go yourself.
    The main points to watch are static on components and correct application of the thermal paste on the CPU. As another poster said the parts can only slot into the correct place.

    If you're having trouble with a certain point, more than happy to help here? It's been a few years since my build but I got great help here?

    My braing just can't get around getting the wires placed properly, adding the headers without wrapping all the wires together, installing the ssds in the case pretty much everything.

    The only thing I could do was install motherboard

    As I said, I'm not an expert on cable management but that case looks like you can run most of them on the back side of the case. take your time there and do what you can for each wire. If it's not working, that's ok too!

    The SSDs should basically fit in the drive bays as seen in the attached pic. couple of small screws then to hold them in place is all. Now that can be tricky angle sometimes so smaller the screwdriver the better or if very awkward to get to, you can get a flexable adapter on a screwdriver too which makes life a lot easier in this job.

    Happy to build, I'm located in Dublin 5. No payment required. As for cable management I just fire it all on the backside of the motherboard tray and close up the case.

    Cable ties are cheap and you can just use a few to make sure the cables stay together and don't roam where they shouldn't.

    Really there is no need as I just enjoy building machines. However a six pack never goes amiss.

    PM me and I'll fire you on the details and we can arrange something.
