Newegg is offering a new PC building service that’ll take all the components you bought from the retailer and assemble them into a finished desktop. The service is part of the Newegg Custom PC Builder website, which lets you pick out the various components for your desired desktop and purchase them in a package. But previously, it was up to the consumer to assemble the parts together into a working PC. ..." https://www.pcmag.com/news/newegg-o...semble-your-purchased-pc-parts-into-a-desktop
There are a few places in Australia that have been doing that for some time. Not sure of the protocols here about naming them - I've had a few posts deleted that those in the land of the free and home of the brave can get away with. Nevertheless, this is a great option and well worth using. Most people who use Newegg and read the reviews would be familiar with 2 recurring posts - DOA and won't boot. These problems disappear when the parts provider is also the builder. Not sure why it's taken them so long to jump on this train?
The price is right. I do believe for this to be viable, they will have to offer pre-configured options; case, PSU, motherboard, and CPU base with HDD, optical drives, and graphics card optional. Then there issue the issue of component testing which is difficult w/o the OS installed. Etc., etc.. I also assume the assembly will be done in China which has its own issues.
