Looking for something other than a stock system...
Every gamer wants a custom system, with good parts and efficient design. But not all of us have technical know-how to do it. We will sit down with you and talk about what you need. We will put together one or more quotes that match your demands. We then build your system, install the operating system and stress-test it to make sure it works.
Prices below reflect parts cost as of September 10th. Price does not include shipping. These are just examples of what is available.
