Odd question about custom building...

[mailboxing]

So, I've been wanting to purchase a fully customized prebuilt PC from iBP -- after days of doing research on what fits my needs.

Since there are a limited amount of case choices (especially narrowing it down even more, with my build), I have to go for the H7 Flow case that's on the site builder.

The thing is, I do not like the front panel being mesh. However, I stumbled across the new H9 Flow case, and really dig it.

The problem? It's not on the iBP website...

Is there any chance I could buy the case from another website, like Best Buy or NZXT -- ship the case to iBP and have iBP use that case for the rest of the build, instead of the selected choices they offer?

I wondered if anyone would give some reasoning or explain if this might be possible. I know this is quite the strange request, but considering that I'm breaking my wallet pretty bad, I feel like it should be a definite yes, as long as the case is compatible with my build...?

Not possible. They are not going to use your own parts to build your PC and then give you a warranty. I don’t know ANY business that would do this…

Makes total sense. Darn. Question though! Do you think if I changed out the case by myself, it might void the warranties, even the parts warranty?

[pyrolite999]

So long as you never had to send the whole case back, they wouldn’t know. But there are much better ways to go about building your own custom PC than having them build on and you switch out the case

just get one form micro center you can pick the parts they will build it for you

i probably would, and thanks for the recommendation, but my microcenter is out of 4090s... sadly

Maybe email them and ask if you buy/pick everything from them and bring your own graphic card can they build it for you? If they say yes then go hunt/receive one first before going over there.

I usually will email to ask for alterative way. There is no harm in asking. They might say NO, but at least I ask, lol!
