CUSTOM PC BUILDS · BUDGET TO BEASTLY
Built right. Tuned right. Lit right.
From quiet workstation builds for editing or trading, to no-compromise gaming rigs with custom liquid loops and RGB to match your battlestation. Pick a spec and we’ll quote it, or bring us a parts list and we’ll assemble it cleaner than any prebuilt.

Custom Workstation PC Build
Custom workstation builds for video editing, CAD/3D, photo work, programming, and content creation. Spec'd for the actual workload, not generic 'workstation' specs. From $1,500.

About Our Custom Workstation PC Build
Workstation builds are different from gaming PCs. Gaming benefits from one fast GPU and the cheapest CPU that does not bottleneck it. Workstations need balanced specs across CPU, GPU, RAM, and storage, and the right balance changes depending on what you actually do all day. We build for the actual workload, not generic "creator" specs.
- From $1,500Entry workstation tier
- 5-7 DaysFrom approval to pickup
- Workload-SpecificSpec'd for what you do
Build process: tell us what you do (video editing? CAD? coding with Docker? all three?), what software you use most, and your budget. We put a parts list with real performance numbers in front of you ("this rig encodes a 4K H.264 master in 8 minutes vs. 22 minutes on your current laptop"), you approve, we order, build, test, hand over.
Different from Gaming PCs in spec philosophy: workstations prioritize CPU cores, RAM capacity, ECC support (where needed), and multi-display flexibility over peak gaming framerates. Same shop, same labor cap (3 hrs), different parts.
Dell sells a $4,000 "Precision" workstation with components that retail for $1,800. We will build you the same machine for $2,400, same RTX A4000, more RAM, faster storage, and you actually know what is in it.
Need a real workstation?
Tell us your software, your budget, and a typical project size. We will spec a build with real performance numbers within 24 hours.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the questions we hear most often in the shop. Still stuck? Text us a photo and we'll get back to you fast.
How is a workstation different from a gaming PC?
Different priorities: gaming PCs maximize per-thread CPU speed and one fast GPU for high framerates. Workstations balance many CPU cores, lots of RAM (often 64–256 GB), professional-grade GPUs (NVIDIA RTX A-series with certified drivers), and fast NVMe storage with separate scratch/project drives. The right balance depends on what app you use most.
Why build instead of buying Dell Precision / Lenovo ThinkStation?
You pay roughly 60–80% more from those vendors for components they marked up. We build the same spec at parts cost + fair markup, give you the exact part list (vs. Dell's vague "NVMe SSD"), and you can upgrade individual parts later. Trade-off: the OEM gives you a unified support contract; we give you direct help instead.
Do I need ECC memory?
For most creative work, no, regular RAM is fine. ECC matters for engineering simulation, scientific computing, financial modeling, and 24/7 server-class workloads where a single bit-flip could ruin a 12-hour render. Tell us your work and we will tell you if it is worth the cost.
Can you build silent / quiet workstations?
Yes. Noctua / be quiet! cooling, dampened cases (Fractal Define R7, NZXT H7 Flow with sound dampening), curve-tuned fan profiles. Silent builds typically add $150–300 to the parts cost but you can put them next to a microphone for podcast / voiceover work without it being audible.
How long does a workstation build take?
5–7 days from approval to pickup. Parts ordering: 2–4 days. Build: 2 hours. Stress testing under your typical workload: 24–48 hours (we run encodes, renders, or whatever your software is to confirm thermals + stability before pickup). Workstation testing is more thorough than gaming because you depend on it for income.
