CUSTOM BUILD YOUR PC
Why pay for extra features you will never use? Select components that are relevant to the exact tasks you perform on your computer.

Free Phone Purchasing Assistance: A technology consultant can talk you through configuring the perfect system for you if you prefer. (And yes. We speak plain English). Purchasing Assistance can be performed on-site. Just ask your Bonza technician when he’s on-site to step you through. Feel free to "play" on this page.

WE’LL CUSTOM BUILD YOUR PERFECT COMPUTER SYSTEM

All components carry the full manufacturers' warranty * Prices subject to change

Meet Baby Fred!

He'll grow before your very eyes into a Fully Reliable Electronic Device!

Baby Fred may take up residence in your existing box, or, you might like to start out by updating your computer case to one of the latest, improved models. As you may already have items such as a hard disk, monitor, keyboard etc. which are perfectly fine, we can integrate these with new componentry thereby saving you heaps. This page amounts to a logical discussion of your system as we customise it together. As you see the price going up, you can consider cost versus the benefit of each item. Once you have the perfect system, you may click to have a written quote emailed to you. Or, you may click another button to bravely charge in and order the system. Getting us to build the perfect computer for you does not have to be a drag. Neither does paying for it! Make the pain go away with Flexirent! Enjoy.

Once you start your calculations do not use the Back button at the top of your browser.

CONFIGURE YOUR PERFECT COMPUTER

CASE

First, consider if you need to upgrade your computer case. We recommend this for the majority of customers as this box has plenty of bays for possible future additions to your system, a power supply with fan plus a draw through fan and ventilation slits in exactly the right place: beside the processor. Power lead included. (Case pictured).

NO CASE :

$0.00

Enlight Black Case (Standard ATX) :

Foxconn ATX MidiTower - Black

$112.42

MOTHERBOARD

This quality motherboard has integrated graphics, sound and networking capability, so the average user won't need to buy expensive additional cards to drive these features.

NO MOTHERBOARD :

$0.00

ASUS 775, Core2Duo :

$137.06

CPU

The Central Processing Unit is the chip that determines the speed at which the system works. 2.6 gigahertz is plenty for the majority of users. As you can see, you can go faster for a cost. You must select one.

Intel Celeron 2.6GHz :

$118.58

Intel Celeron 3.0GHz :

$144.48

INTEL P4 531 3.0GHZ :

$254.10

Intel Pentium 4, 3.20 GHz :

$369.60

RAM

You may not need RAM, as you may already have enough in your current system which can be transferred. Most people work with 256 megabytes, but we recommend you double it to 512 megabytes because it's not earth shatteringly expensive to do so, and, with programs getting bigger all the time, it helps the system perform significantly better. This is particularly so if you like to work with more than one application running at the same time.

Some people actually get a massive 1 gigabyte of RAM as they work with a lot of large programs all running at the same time! Feel free to contact us requesting a BMCR technician to call you to talk about this if you like.

Please ignore the bottom item (SD RAM). It’s an out-of-date type of RAM which is here just for reference by our technicians when they’re working on old systems.

NO RAM:

$0.00

Kingston 256MB PC3200 (400MHz):

$60.06

Kingston 512MB PC3200 (400MHz):

$107.80

$87.78

Kingston 2X512MB(1G KIT) 184PIN 400MHZ (PC3200) :

$204.82

HARD DRIVE

You can save a lot of hassle with data preservation by having us install your old hard drive in the new system.
Alternatively, we can transfer your data to a new, highest quality hard drive. Unless you save a lot of music and/or picture files to your hard drive (rather than to CD or DVD), 80 gigabytes is more than enough.
However, since it's not particularly expensive to increase it, you may consider that.

Note: As the integrity of your data is so important, no compromises, we only sell the very best brand hard drives.

NO HARD DRIVE :

$0.00

Western Digital 80GB SATAII :

$100.10

Western Digital 120GB SATAII (3 Year) :

$121.66

Western Digital 200GB SATAII (3 Year) :

GRAPHICS CARD

The Graphics capability included onboard the recommended motherboard (which you’ve already bought) will be more than adequate for most users.
However, here is a more sophisticated card for designers, gamers etc

$0.00

GIGABYTE Graphic Card FX5500/128MB :

$75.46

ASUS ATI RX300SE 128MB DVI/TV Out :

$100.10

SOUND CARD

Because the sound capability included onboard the recommended motherboard (which you’ve already bought), is more than adequate for 99.9% of users, we don’t offer options here. If you’d like to discuss alternative sound options, please call or email.

INTEGRATED 6 CHANNEL SOUND :

$0.00

NETWORK

Wireless networking is the way to go, be aware customers have reported interference from mobile phones and power tools in some environments. If the presence of other electrical activity in the area of your workstations is “normal”, and distances between workstations are not “abnormal”, a wireless network will be fine.
Note: If you want to go wireless, you’ll need the Wireless Network Interface Card. Networking capability included onboard the recommended motherboard can support a home network of 2 work stations. Get a router if you have more than 2 work stations or if you want more than 1 computer using your internet service.
Also, please be aware, if you’re setting up a Wireless Network, each workstation must have a Wireless Network Interface Card (a PCI card).

MONITOR

Here's where your costs can skyrocket! Nonetheless, we recommend that you buy the best monitor you can afford.
Note: The new slimline LCD monitors "seem" bigger than the old CRTs because there's less plastic around the edges, so a 17" LCD "seems" like a 19" CRT.
Of course, you may already have a monitor

NO MONITOR :

$0.00

$320.32
