What’s at Stake

Laggy frames, stuttery timelines, random crashes—overpriced prebuilts shouldn’t hold you back. Don’t pay for specs that throttle on day one.

Performance & Components

What FPS or export times can I expect?

We estimate during your consult based on your games/resolution or creative apps, then verify with benchmarks before pickup.

Can you reuse parts I already own?

Often, yes. Share exact model numbers; we’ll check compatibility and performance impact.

RGB or stealth—can I choose?

Absolutely. Aesthetics are your call; we never sacrifice airflow or stability.

Do you overclock?

We prioritize stable, quiet performance. Light, safe tuning is possible when it makes sense and passes our burn-in standards.

Pricing, Payment & Warranty

How much will my build cost?

Typical ranges are on our How It Works page. You’ll receive a clear, itemized quote before we build.

What’s the payment schedule?

Parts deposit to order components; remaining balance due at pickup. We’ll outline everything on your quote.

What warranty do I get?

All parts carry manufacturer warranties. We provide a post-pickup support window for setup questions. If a component fails our burn-in, we replace it before you ever pick it up.

Support, Upgrades & Repairs

Do you offer ongoing support?

Yes—basic setup help during your post-pickup window. For future tune-ups, contact us for options.

Can you upgrade my existing PC instead of building new?

Sometimes that’s the smart move. We’ll assess your current system’s CPU/motherboard/PSU to avoid bottlenecks.

Do you repair PCs you didn’t build?

Repairs are primarily for ZeroDrop clients. If you’re local and need help, ask—we’ll advise honestly.

Creators: Workflows & Storage

Can you set up scratch/cache and project drives?

Yes. We typically separate OS / scratch / project on NVMe for real throughput.

Will this integrate with my Mac gear?

Our Windows workstations play nicely with Mac ecosystems (NAS, displays, color). We’ll plan I/O accordingly.
