Local PC repair · Custom builds · St. George, Utah

The worst time to buy a new PC.
The best time to know a guy.

RAM prices have quadrupled and new machines are shipping without it. Before you overpay at the big box, let me see what your current rig — or a smart custom build — can really do.

  • No fix, no fee
  • Most repairs back within about a week
  • You talk to the person fixing it

What RGB stands for

Three letters. Everything your computer needs.

Most shops pick a lane. I handle the whole machine — from a stubborn laptop that won’t turn on to a dream gaming rig built to last.

R

Repair

Won't boot, crawling slow, viruses, cracked screens, failing drives. I fix what the big stores tell you to throw away.

Repairs from $89 · consult free

G

Game

Frame drops, thermal throttling, storage and cooling upgrades, and full RGB tuning. More out of the rig you already own.

Tune-ups from $99

B

Build

Custom builds designed around the parts you already have — bring them to reuse or trade in for credit, so you only pay for what's actually scarce right now.

Builds from $100 + parts

The specialty — nobody else around here does this

I bring back the boards the big stores write off.

Board-level micro-soldering for consoles and handhelds — charge ports, no-power, liquid damage, HDMI and chip-level work, all under a microscope. When a Steam Deck won’t charge or a PlayStation won’t power on, I fix the actual chips instead of writing off the whole device.

The moment we’re in

Right now, a brand-new PC is a bad deal.

AI data centers are hoarding memory, so RAM prices have exploded — big vendors are even shipping prebuilts with no memory at all.The smart move isn’t panic-buying. It’s getting more life out of what you have, or building around it. I’ll tell you honestly when not to spend.

Meet the guy

“Most computers people are told to replace just need someone who actually cares to look. I’m here to keep you gaming and working longer, for less — and to give you straight answers, even when that means telling you not to spend.

I fix what the big stores would tell you to toss, build custom rigs around the parts you already own, and you’ll always talk to the person actually working on your machine. I’ll even buy or trade for working parts and refurbish them — because good hardware deserves a second life, not a landfill.

Built and ready

Hand-built PCs, priced honestly.

I build desktops by hand — genuine Windows, no bloatware, tested before they leave. Every one is priced straight during the memory shortage, and reusing or trading in parts you already own is almost always the cheapest way to a great machine right now.
