Since these are the days where we are always having to update our systems on a regular basis I thought when I update mine - whats the point in getting a new monitor and windows... I have some - I don't need them. So in respects I'm paying up to 200 pounds on what I don't need. I also may not want a cd writer as I have one in my other PC or I might have a DVD cdrom already - and I'm paying for that.
What I was thinking was wouldn't it be cool if Maxx PCs were fully customisable. You start off with a basic price which includes all the essential components for it to run and manufactoring charges. Then you can select from a list what you want in it - how much memory, how big a processor, graphics etc.. (all of which are a special price since you are getting a new PC).
And then for another extra charge - maybe £5 per component you could add people's modems, cd writers, cdroms into the PC for them.
It would be a cheaper and more better idea for many people. And I'd certaintly want to upgrade in this idea.

We have made them quite customisable. Monitors are an add on and so can be taken off. RAM, HDD, CPU are all changable. The problem with fitting other peoples components is compatability. Also what happens if we build you a pc, you give us a scsi card to fit and it blows the motherboard and cpu (it has happened, and to at least 2 people I know).
Could a SR staff member please respond to this either dismissing the idea with valuable reasoning or saying they like it and might use it?
I agree with you there. SR need to stock much much more hardware. TNT 2's for example - not everyone has an AGP slot!
This si the exact reason that I build my own - I can have whatever components I want, without getting stuck with those that I don't. This is a good idea, but still limiting, as you could only choose from what SR stock - great selection of software, but not so much emphasis on hardware...
mm... pizza hut.
PIZZA TIME I'll stick one in the oven

It's sounds like Pizzahut's Pizzas, £5 for each topping!
It's a good idea, i'd make use of it, but i've already stared trying to make my own PC, not too late to turn back but I feel if this idea went forward I would have finished by the time this stuff happens.
It's a good idea though, I have a feeling that many people would use this idea.
