Quality Custom Designs

Sourceport Computing specializes in building custom computer systems with an emphasis on data security and full system optimization, with a proven success rate in helping satisfied clients select their best options.

Choosing The Right Platform

Without question, XP continues to be the preferred choice in operating systems (platforms), with the bad news being that it can no longer be legally purchased in stores, or even with a new system build, short of acquiring a special downgrade disk (that's not always available) which fails in providing a true XP installation.

If you already own a legal copy of Windows XP, it is very simple to change out your hardware with new parts and still validate your copy, which qualifies as refurbishing your system as the equivalent of a new machine.

Vista became despised by many consumers and has been replaced with the new Windows 7 (which seems a bit better), but many are still wary of taking the plunge after the trust that was lost in the Vista disaster.

So Here Are The Options

Sourceport Computing offers a unique approach to these issues by building its clients new custom systems with the latest version of the FREE Ubuntu operating system as a perfect alternative for most users.

We can also rebuild your existing computer into a brand new machine and retain your existing XP license, provided the required Microsoft product key is attached to your existing machine, or is in your posession.

For those who have purchased a brand new machine pre-installed with the Vista operating system on top of Vista proprietary hardware, we are able to do custom Ubuntu conversions to rid the machine of Vista.

Our shop does not and will not build a new system with Vista installed, nor do we service Vista.

As for Windows 7 (which is now on the market), we are reserving our final opinion until we see how it does, but have decided to perform installs, upgrades and repairs (as has been posted on our PC REPAIR page).

Selecting The Right Hardware

Once the intended use and specific needs of your new system have been established and you have selected an appropriate platform, then we can show you a cost effective approach towards building your new system.

We typically start by discussing motherboard, processor and memory. Next come the required drives and drive types, along with any necessary internal components. Then comes the fun part in picking out a case to your liking with an ample enough power supply. This gives you a custom built system with quality hardware.

Our standard assembly fee for a new system build is $40 per machine.

LAPTOPS AND PRE-BUILT SYSTEMS ARE EXEMPT BECAUSE THEY ARE ALREADY BUILT

Additional items such as monitor, keyboard & mouse, sound system, printer and network equipment are also discussed whenever a complete system build has been requested so you are tailored for your specific needs.

Additional fees may also apply in situations where a client needs help with peripheral setup.
