I want to put it on my CV but need something more professional than "I build PCs from the ground up".

Cheers :)

    I don't want it to sound too abstract though. Just bog standard, meat and potatoes "I know how to build a PC".

    I'm looking for short-term contract work to get my experience up. Something like a 3-6 month rollout so it needs to be something that will instantly get a tick in the builds box when someone reads it.

    'X years Building/Repairing PCs' is what I have on my CV.

    I agree, better not to sound too abstract!

    Custom builds? Was roughly along the lines of what I put, also included links to TomsHardware and AnandTech which went down well in my interview (as they were new sites to one of the guys).

    All I ask is the chance to prove that money can't make me happy.

    Computer construction and maintenance?
    Sometimes I feel like a pelican. Whichever way I turn, I've still got an enormous bill in front of me.
