Buy and build at Tradepac.
Some things to take note when dealing with Tradepac:
- Be firm with your decision when buying from Tradepac. Don't be swayed by their sales assistant to upgrade and buy more expensive components which you don't require.
- Check all the components you plan to purchase are correct before you make payment.
- Stay at the shop and supervise them as they assemble your rig and make sure they return all spare chassis parts. You might want to take note that Tradepac cable management skills may not be up to your satisfactory level.
