PC Builder that wont rip you off

[Unlimited]

So the other days I was looking to have a custom PC built and I started looking at all the usual suspects. You know, Xidax, Origin, Cyberpower, yadda yadda. I was appalled by the prices of these machines(Xidax in particular wanted over $900 for an i3/r7 250 powered machine!). One place included a lifetime parts and labor warranty and despite the exorbitant initial cost almost had me sold until I read the fine print and thought about it more. I would pay shipping, and then there was a fee, and so on and so forth.

Then low and behold, just by pure accident really, I found these guys. www.nebulapc4u.com

They said they could build anything, they had a few pre configured "signature" computers, and their pricing on these pre-builts was only around 100-200 bucks more than I would pay building it myself, more than reasonable to have a computer built. Now, I wasn't entirely turned on by their website, which felt a bit dated and offered no custom build parts selection( more on that in a bit),
but it gets the job done and you don't feel like you are the only one paying for the website when you get your bill.

So, I filled out the form they provide on the order page and requested contact by email, what could it hurt? The next day I recieved an email, basically saying thank you for contacting them and the usual stuff, and that given my budget (about 800) they could build me an AMD based machine(6300/R9 380) that would run most games on medium to very high settings game dependent. I was also asked if there was anything in particular I wanted as far as hardware or case(I didn't, and this kind of covered the no build options on the website), any peripherals I wanted(none) any other special instructions(couldn't think of anything) and then at the end of the email I was given instructions on the various ways I could make a deposit(phone, email CC info, Paypal link on the site).

I reviewed their warranty(3 year labor/1 year parts, extendable to 2 and 3 years for a fee) which was pretty standard, and decided to go ahead and make the plunge. I called the provided phone number(not toll free, so use your cell phone I guess) and gave the guy my info. He informed me of the 8% sales tax added( fine for me, but remember to factor this in if you have a hard set budget) and then thanked me for my order and that an email would be dispatched for confirmation, as well as when the computer had shipped(1-2 weeks normally) with tracking info.

I recieved my new PC about 2 weeks later and excitedly opened the box, to find yet another box inside, my computer was in there. I was happy about the double boxing, there was no apparent damage to the inner box thay held my computer despite the outer box looking a bit rough. I was exited to see what case they had chosen( I had simply told them nothing ridiculous looking, lights were ok but nothing too flashy) and was greeted by a Zalman Z1 Neo midtower. ALL of the parts were well known brands(in my case MSi, Gigabyte, Kingston, EVGA, and Zalman) and the wiring was very nicely done, nothing impeding airflow or aesthetics and what have you. This was almost 4 months ago, I have not had a single problem with this machine, I am happy with the price, service, and quality overall.

TLDR: If you want a high quality custom computer without paying for some ridiculous name (I'm looking at you Falcon Northwest) and needless paintjobs, this should be your first and last stop. www.nebulapc4u.com
