If you are in the market for a new PC, there are three primary alternatives to consider:

1. Purchase a pre-assembled PC from a reseller like Dell, Gateway, Compaq, or others
2. Purchase individual PC components from a retailer like Radio Shack or Best Buy and assemble them on your own
3. Purchase a Kit from Easy As My PC

We would love for every household in the country to have a Kit from Easy As My PC, but in reality, that scenario isn’t the best for everyone involved. Each of the three options makes sense depending on the specific needs of the purchaser.

	Option 1	Option 2	Option 3
Description:	Pre-Assembled	Components	Easy As My PC Kit
Price:	Highest	Lowest	Low
Service:	Good	Limited, if any	Excellent
Best For:	Willing to pay extra, or uncomfortable with screwdriver	“Computer Geeks” who already know how to build a PC	Willing to invest a few hours to save a couple hundred bucks

Option 1: Purchase a Pre-assembled PC

Generally speaking, resellers like Dell charge a premium for the assembly services that they offer. It makes sense that they pay people to assemble custom PCs and, as a result, their PCs carry a price premium when compared to the raw cost of the parts contained within.

Pre-assembled PCs make sense for purchasers who can afford to pay a premium price for a PC, and they also make sense for people who are uncomfortable with general tools like a screw driver.

Pre-assembled PCs do not make sense for purchasers willing to invest a few hours of their own time in order to get high quality at a low price.

Option 2: Purchase Individual Components

There are a number of retailers that sell new and refurbished computer parts. Typically, the prices on these parts are affordable, and probably offer the cheapest path to owning a PC. That said, at these rock bottom prices, retailers often cannot afford to help consumers select compatible parts or help them during the assembly process.

Purchasing individual components makes sense for those people affectionately referred to as “computer geeks” who need no help assembling a PC from scratch.

Purchasing individual components does not make sense for first-time computer builders or for people who prefer not to become experts in computer hardware design.

Option 3: Purchase a Kit from Easy As My PC

Easy As My PC offers an option that falls somewhere between the two listed above.

By offering Kits, Easy As My PC takes the risk out of purchasing PC components and offers prices well below that of pre-assembled machines.

Unlike the typical parts retailer like Radio Shack, Easy As My PC pre-tests and guarantees component compatibility and offers customized assembly instructions and phone support to ensure your PC is up and running in only a few hours. And, unlike the typical pre-assembled reseller like Dell, we offer significant savings because we don’t assemble the PC for you.

Easy As My PC service rivals resellers like Dell, Compaq, Sony or IBM and blows away the commodity focused parts dealers. We strive to offer any and all support needed to assemble a PC successfully, save money, and perhaps even learn something in the process.

Easy As My PC Kits make sense for people willing to invest a few hours of time to save a couple hundred bucks on the purchase of a home, office or gaming PC.

Easy As My PC Kits do not make sense for people that don't care about price or are uncomfortable using a screwdriver.
