Our Retro Build Process
Every vintage PC build goes through our meticulous restoration and assembly process:
Consultation
We discuss your retro computing goals - specific games, era, aesthetic preferences, and budget.
Sourcing
We locate NOS (New Old Stock) or quality used vintage components from our network of collectors and suppliers.
Inspection & Testing
Every component is thoroughly tested for functionality before assembly begins.
Recapping
Aging electrolytic capacitors are replaced with quality modern equivalents for long-term reliability.
Refurbishment
Cases are cleaned, retrobright'd if needed, and any cosmetic damage repaired.
Assembly
System is assembled with care using period-correct techniques and quality thermal compounds.
OS Installation
Your chosen operating system is installed, configured, and optimized with appropriate drivers.
Burn-in Testing
Extended stability testing ensures your build will perform reliably for years to come.
Modern PC Builds: While retro computing is our specialty, we can build any modern system from entry-level to multi-GPU AI rigs. Modern builds are priced at parts cost + 10% with the same quality assembly and testing. Contact us for a custom quote.
