Components are our bread and butter. We may be driving a big wedge into the mainstream consumer end of TV’s, GPS sets and MP3 players, but where Komplett began is in computer components. Graphics cards, CPU’s, cases, coolers and suchlike. This is an audience we both understand and love.
People like to build their own PC’s because it gives them greater control over what they’re getting, and it’s way, way cheaper than buying a boutique (or even a generic office) PC from the likes of Dell. With Dell and HP and so on, you’re really buying the lack of hassle and the warranty. A lot of folks like to build their own.
We also realize that a huge amount of people get their more technically minded friends to build PC’s for them, mainly because they don’t know how to build their own. To be honest, it’s not that difficult… It’s more of a confidence issue.
So we figure, we have a Dublin office now. It’s full of hardware. And technically minded returns engineers. So, why not put two and two together and get workshops for small groups to learn how to build their own? And for more advanced users, how to overclock safely?
We’re going to begin taking bookings shortly, and if you’d like to express your interest here feel free. We’ll see if it’s popular and if it works out it could become a bit of an institution…

Well, assuming I receive my order from you in time I would be very interested in this. I’m pretty sure I’ve bought overclock-able components, but it’s the “safely” thing that really interests me. I’ll keep watching the website for somewhere to make a booking!
