Gaming PCs and refurbished computers, built on our bench.

The same two technicians who repair gaming PCs every week build yours, stress-test it, and hand you the results. Refurbished laptops and desktops get the same bench time before they're sold.

Build your own

Pick every part. We build it, tune it and test it.

Every part is priced at today's retail, plus $199 for assembly, BIOS and memory tuning, a stress test and our 90-day warranty when the parts come to under $800, or $299 above that. The builder only lets you combine parts that work together, and we check every build again before ordering. Pick it up in Blue Springs, or we ship it insured anywhere in the continental US.

Refurbished laptops and desktops

Rebuilt, not just resold.

Our refurbished stock changes every week, so we don't post listings that sold days ago. Text us what you need (laptop or desktop, your budget, what you'll use it for) and we'll send photos, specs and the price of what's ready today.

  • An SSD in every machine
  • Clean Windows 11, no bloatware
  • Battery health tested on laptops
  • Memory, drive, display and ports tested
  • Fans and thermal paste serviced
  • Previous owner's data securely wiped
  • 90-day parts-and-labor warranty
  • Data transfer from your old computer

Not sure you need a new computer? Ask first. If an SSD upgrade makes your current machine fast again, we'll tell you. That's cheaper than any refurb.

Trading in your old machine

  1. Bring it in. We check age, specs and condition and quote trade-in credit in writing, no obligation.
  2. Pick your replacement from the bench, or give us a budget and we'll match you to the right machine, not the most expensive one.
  3. We move your stuff. Files, photos, email and bookmarks, organized the way you had them. Programs go on fresh.
  4. Old drive wiped. Your trade-in is securely wiped before it's refurbished or recycled.

“Moved to the DC Area, but still wanted Connor to be the one to work on my Mac. I mailed it to him, he mailed it back, and now everything that wasn't working is working now.”

Questions

Before you buy.

What do you have in stock?

Inventory changes week to week. We favor business-grade machines because they're built to last and easy to repair. Call or text (816) 708-8822 for what's on the bench right now, or tell us your budget and we'll find a match.

Do you ship custom PCs outside Kansas City?

Yes. We ship anywhere in the continental US by insured UPS Ground with signature required, for a flat $129. Choose “Ship to me” at checkout. Shipments go to the shipping address on the order, and if it differs from the billing address we call to verify before we order parts. Warranty service on shipped builds is handled by prepaid mail-in.

How long does a custom gaming PC take?

It depends on parts availability, so you get a timeline with your written quote. The quote holds for 7 days, and parts are ordered once the order is paid or financing is approved.

How much is my old computer worth?

It depends on age, specs and condition. Bring it in and we'll quote trade-in credit in writing, no obligation. If it has no resale value, we'll recycle it free and wipe the drive first.

Is refurbished as good as new?

For most everyday use, yes, and often faster than a new budget machine, because every refurb we sell runs on an SSD. It's also warrantied by the shop that rebuilt it, not a 1-800 number.

What happens to the data on my trade-in?

Before any machine is resold or recycled, the drive is securely wiped. If you'd rather keep the drive, ask and we'll hand it back to you.

Can I use trade-in credit toward a repair?

Yes. Trade-in credit applies to any repair, upgrade or refurbished computer.

Tell us your budget. We'll spec the right machine.

Written quote, no obligation. Every build and refurb is bench-tested and warrantied by our Blue Springs shop.
