Memory is expensive right now. AI datacentre demand has squeezed global DRAM supply, and it pushes up the cost of every build. Read the full explanation

5 services, 9 machines

Servicing and repairs for the machine you already own, and hand-built PCs if you want a new one. Nothing here hides behind “high-performance memory” or a mystery power supply - each listing names the exact components and states the frame rates it's built to hit. Want something between two of these, or nothing like any of them? That's what custom enquiries are for.

Cleaning & servicing

For a machine you already own that's got hot, loud or slow. Three tiers, each one everything below it plus more - start at Bronze if you don't yet know what's wrong, and I'll tell you whether it needs anything further.

  1. Bronze

    £29

    Quick Clean & Check

    Is anything actually wrong with it? Find out in a day.

    • External and internal clean: vents, filters and fan blades cleared
    • Every temperature measured under load and written down
    • Storage drive health checked - failing disks caught before they take your files
    • Finished next day unless otherwise specified by myself.

  2. Silver

    £59

    Deep Clean & Tune-Up

    The one that actually makes the machine quieter and faster.

    • Everything in Bronze, plus a full teardown: fans and heatsinks come off and get cleaned properly
    • Fresh thermal paste wherever the temperatures justify it
    • Software pass: startup and bloatware audit, Windows and driver updates
    • Written before-and-after temperature comparison, so the improvement is a number and not a claim

  3. Gold

    £99

    Full Service & Benchmark

    Everything I'd do to a machine before I'd put my name on it.

    • Everything in Silver, plus a full stress-test suite - processor and graphics under sustained load
    • Written benchmark report: the numbers this machine actually produces, not the ones the box claimed
    • Fan curves tuned to this specific machine, and the cables inside tidied properly
    • Free 30-day follow-up check, included - priority turnaround, 24 to 48 hours

Drop-off is by appointment in Dollar. If a clean turns up an actual hardware fault, it's quoted separately and agreed before any further work - and if a machine isn't worth repairing, tell me what it's doing and I'll say so.

Setup & optimisation

Software rather than screwdrivers - for a machine that works but isn't set up the way it should be.

New PC Setup & Debloat

£39

Why is my brand-new PC already slow? Here's the honest answer - and the fix.

  • Every piece of manufacturer trialware, bundled adware and shovelware removed
  • Proper graphics drivers straight from AMD, NVIDIA or Intel - not Windows Update's generic ones
  • Startup trimmed to what you actually use, so it boots in seconds instead of minutes

Game Tuning & Desktop Ricing

from £79

Make it run right, then make it look like yours. Windows only.

  • Per-game settings tuned for your hardware and your games - not a generic 'best settings' video
  • The free frame rate first: refresh rate, G-Sync/FreeSync, EXPO, Resizable BAR, power plan
  • A desktop built to your taste - live wallpapers, custom bars, icon packs, one coherent theme

New machines

9 builds, every part listed

Grouped by the screen resolution they're built to drive, since that's what decides how much graphics card you actually need. Every spec can be changed before you order.

Everyday & 1080p

2

For schoolwork, office software and the games most people actually play. 1080p is the standard monitor resolution - if nobody has said otherwise, it's what they've got.

  • Memory16GB DDR4-3000 (2×8GB, XMP enabled)

1440p

3

A step up in monitor sharpness, which costs real graphics power to drive. This is where most gaming builds land, and where the money starts buying comfortable headroom rather than just playability.

Whitewisp

4K, flagship & workstation

4

Four times the pixels of 1080p, ray tracing on, or professional work that pays for itself. Genuinely more machine than most people need.
