Custom Computer Builds

I can build desktops and servers or offer my expertise on your purchase of an off-the-shelf computer, laptop/netbook, or server. I will troubleshoot any windows based desktop, laptop, or server to repair/replace/upgrade needed parts. All work is guaranteed. I have a high success rate for Data Recovery and offer services such as Data Back-up and Data Transfer (both on-site and off-site).

I guarantee a legal and full version of every software installed. My systems are turn-key (delivered, tested, and ready for you to use).

Budget, Business, or Extreme Gaming, I can build a system that is right for you. I build to maximize your investment.

Budget Computers

My budget systems use the most current technologies available ensuring longevity and the ability to upgrade when needed. I won't build a clearance system to make an extra buck. The focus on budget computer systems is motherboard and RAM.

Business/Home Computers

My business systems are built with longevity and 24 hour running in mind. The focus on business computer systems is motherboard, CPU, hard drive, RAM, and Power Supply.

Perfomance/Gaming Computers

My custom Extreme Gaming systems are exciting. Although the most expensive to build, these are usually where you see the most savings when compared to off-the-shelf systems. The focus on a custom built Extreme Gaming system is Case, Power Supply, Motherboard, CPU, Video Card, Hard Drive, RAM, Power Supply, and Keyboard/Mouse accessories.

Store Bought vs. Custom Built

Most computers can be custom built for a very reasonable cost. Hardware and Software drive the cost of building a custom computer whether it is for budget, business, or gaming. Off-the-Shelf (Store bought) computers are set at price points. Sometimes older technologies are used that are no longer considered current and hidden in the cost with a nice looking case or focussing on a CPU name, the size of a hard drive, or amount of RAM. Off-the-shelf computers will not tell you the brand of these important parts or their performance grade. Stores push their sales employees for customer upgrades, services, and warranties.

There are varying quality and performance ratings of hardware that are used in all computer systems, no matter who assembles the computer. Knowing the current product components from major manufactures helps to build a current computer that takes advantage of current technologies with the ability to set the performance standard and meet the budget requirements of any user.

My parts suppliers are located in Arizona. If something should go wrong, parts are warrantied for 1-3 years.
