Tell Us What You Need.
We'll Build It Right.
Gaming rigs, workstations, home office PCs: built component by component to your goals and budget, then tested at our Somerville NJ shop before you ever take it home.
Stop Paying for Parts You Didn't Want
Prebuilt systems from big retailers are engineered around margins, not your needs. You pay for a $60 case that cost $8 to make, a PSU that's barely adequate, and RAM you'll want to replace in a year.
A custom PC from Dave's gives you wholesale component pricing, a build matched to how you actually use your computer, and a machine tested before it ever lands on your desk. No bloatware. No compromises on the parts that matter.
And because it's Dave doing the work, not a team you'll never meet, you know exactly who to call if you ever have a question.
Wholesale Component Pricing
We source parts at cost and pass the savings to you. You're not paying retail markup on every single component.
Built for Your Actual Use Case
Gaming, video editing, CAD, home office: the parts we choose are matched to what you're actually doing, not a spec sheet average.
Stress-Tested Before You Take It
Every build gets a full stress test at our Somerville shop. We don't hand you a machine that might fail in a week.
You Know Who Built It
Dave built it. If anything comes up, you call Dave. Not a 1-800 number. Not a chat bot. The actual person.
Every Build Type, Built for New Jersey Customers
Gaming, workstation, or home office: we spec it, source it, build it, and test it at our Somerville shop.
Gaming PC
Built for the games you actually play, at the resolution and frame rate you want. We match GPU, CPU, and cooling to your specific titles and monitor, not a generic "gaming" spec.
Workstation
Creative and professional builds where the CPU and RAM matter as much as the GPU. Spec'd for your actual software (Premiere, DaVinci, AutoCAD, Blender) not just a high number on paper.
Home Office PC
A fast, reliable machine for everyday computing: browsing, Office, Zoom calls, light photo editing. We'll tell you honestly when you don't need to spend more, and when you do.
From Request to Ready-to-Run
Four steps. No jargon, no upselling, no waiting weeks for a response.

$150 Consult, 2 Options
After the $150 consultation fee, Dave researches your request and sends 2 itemized build options. The fee is credited toward your build.
You Approve the Build
Review the build plan and approve it. We'll explain every component choice. No work starts until you say yes.
Built, Tested & Ready
We assemble, stress-test, and install Windows at our Somerville shop. Pick it up or have it ready to plug in.
Two Build Options, Researched for You
Every custom PC starts with a $150 consultation. Dave researches your request and puts together 2 complete build options, each itemized and matched to how you'll use the computer and the budget you set.
The $150 goes toward your build. Approve one of the options and the full consultation fee is credited to your total, so it isn't an extra charge.
Why we charge for it: a real build plan takes time. Checking compatibility, comparing current prices and stock, and matching every part to your software, games and setup is hours of work on each request. A generic parts list is easy. A build that actually fits you takes research.
- 2 complete build options with itemized parts and pricing
- Compatibility verified on every part before anything is ordered
- Matched to current availability, so the parts on your quote can actually be ordered
- Built around your requirements: software, games, monitors, and older devices or ports you still need
- Worked within your budget, with honest advice on where spending more pays off
- Credited to your total when you approve a build
We don't sell prebuilt PCs that are ready to ship. Every computer we build is built to order, based on part availability, your budget, your requirements and your specific needs. That's what the consultation pays for: a PC planned for one person, not pulled off a warehouse shelf.

Tell us about your goals and budget. Dave will follow up to confirm the details and the $150 consultation, then send your 2 build options. The fee is credited toward your build.
More Than Parts in a Box
Every custom PC from Dave's comes with more than just assembled hardware.
Expert Compatibility Review
Every component combination is verified for compatibility before we order a single part. No post-build surprises.
Full Stress Test
CPU, GPU, RAM, and storage all stress-tested before you take it. If something fails, it fails here, not at your desk.
Windows Installed & Activated
Windows is installed, activated, updated, and ready to use. Zero bloatware. No day-one update marathon.
Clean Cable Management
Every build gets clean cable routing for better airflow and a case interior you'll actually be proud to show off.
Performance Baseline
We run benchmarks and show you what the build is hitting before pickup, so you know what to expect from day one.
Honest Upgrade Guidance
We'll tell you exactly what to upgrade first when you're ready to spend more. No guesswork, no upselling you on day one.
About liquid cooling: We use AIO (all-in-one) liquid coolers on builds that benefit from them. They're reliable, effective, and don't require the maintenance of a custom open loop. We do not build custom open-loop water cooling systems. If your build needs serious thermal management, an AIO is almost always the right call.

From Bridgewater to Princeton: custom PC customers across central NJ.
"Dave built me a 1440p gaming rig for under $1,400. He explained every component choice and it benchmarks exactly where he said it would. No other shop would take that kind of time."
"I needed a Premiere Pro workstation with a tight budget. Dave spec'd a build that maxed out my render times without going over. He even told me what not to spend on. Refreshing."
"Went to a big box store first and they wanted $2,200 for something Dave built me for $1,550 with better parts. Same day I picked it up, it was already running. Incredible experience."
