Systems FAQs

How do I know that I need a new system?

Most users will purchase a new system when their current system is too old to upgrade or they don't want to spend more money on their current computer. The best reason to purchase a new system is because your current system is inadequate for your needs because it won't run the software you need it to run.

What type of computer do I need?

This depends on what you will be using the computer for most. Some users will purchase a computer strictly to play games on, others will edit videos, and some will just want to surf the web. Depending on your needs, Insidecomputers can build a new system for you at a reasonable cost.

Is it cheaper to upgrade my existing system or buy a new one?

It is usually almost always cheaper to upgrade an existing system instead of purchasing a new one. However, sometimes it may not be cost effective to upgrade because the computer you are upgrading is too old.

What is your return policy on new systems?

Insidecomputers offers a 1 year limited hardware warranty on all computer parts purchased from us. Any hardware problem incurred within this time will be covered by our warranty and a returns RMA procedure is in place to ensure quick repair or replacement of any parts needed.
