Shall I trust blindly my computer builder?

[Akbar]

Hi everyone,

I asked a local computer store to build my new PC(4000+ aud spent on the tower only).I want to trust the guy blindly because he is a professional but I'm thinking what if I want to check the hardwares he will intall inside the case? What if they are not the ones I'm paying for?

So is it ok to ask to check if everything is new and in its original packaging? Sounds rude to me...

How do you do when you buy for a local shop? Do you just trust the guy? He just told me he's ready to build the whole thing. What shall I do?

Thanks for helping me :)

Just go to a site like this or use other software such as CPUID to verify that you have the correct components. Asking him to see all of the boxes would be insulting, but you can if you want. I assume they give you a receipt. Probably something you want to request before they build it and toss the boxes though.

Yes, I have a receipt. My question was more about how to check if the seller use another hardware instead of the one I'm buying. To avoid to be fooled.
But it's more of a safety question than a real life situation. I think he is a serious professional so it should be all right. Anyway, I have a quote and I'll get a detailed invoice plus a walkthrough before to take the pc home.

It's not crazy to ask for the boxes as long as you let him know upfront. Just say you like to collect things, problem solved.

asking for boxes will prove nothing as computer shops if they build computers
could stock pile lots of part boxes...

you really just need to know....

whats parts you are getting in your system

and how to check those parts on receiving the system

its a worry that you dont trust this company... my computer
shop has been around from over a decade... and i can trust
them to sell me what they say they are going to sell me...

If its a new pro though, he's right to be suspecious. Normally you try these sorts of people iout with smalll things.

This is honestly not a problem. A store is a business. They don't want bad attention from trying to steal from people. The good news is that most parts made have the model printed on the part so you can see that it's the right part

exactly...

i walk into a store...

i got $4k.... what can i get... give me a quote...

i go home with the quote... look everything up and
see if i can find out if all these parts work well together
without to many problems...
then its yay or nay on build and i ask to see it
working in store prior to purchase... response should be yes..
as they do test as well... so they can just keep it on the bench
til you get there...

prior to that i can look at the models they are selling...
and the parts they are using in those models..

and then i can match those parts and prices
with other stores to see if its a deal i want to go ahead with...

i have built 2 computes and paid for my last one to be built..
and i know nothing much about computers and trust my computer
store to sell me something that will work for the next 5 or more years...

find a computer store you can trust... or get good at research...

Just ask if it is ok for you to check with some hardware info program (hwinfo, cpu-z, bios) or by inspection in the shop. Just say it is something you always do when buying pc parts.
But as people said, business is business. The pc builder shouldn't take it personal.

[Zekiran]

They don't need to ask permission.

U can download HWInfo portable and check what is inside ur PC

If you don't trust the builder, why is he building it?

Personally, if you don't trust my work then you can keep your money and leave.

If you're afraid of hurting the builder's feelings or making him angry, there are good ways to go about asking while still being a smart shopper. If the builder is worth it, he will understand your questioning, esp. in this day and age!

I would just say politely: please do not change parts unless I specifically request it. Please call me if you have any problems. May I briefly inspect the machine when you've completed the work?" Also: ask for all the parts boxes (you paid for them also) and inspect your receipt carefully.

It's not that I don't trust this company. I just wanted to check what I'm paying for. It's the first time I'm buying from this business and it's normal to check what I'm paying for.
