Tested for 48 Hours

Every build runs a 48-hour burn-in before it leaves our bench.

CPU, graphics, memory, and thermal stress tests run on our bench, so problems show up here instead of at your desk. Gaming PCs, workstations, and servers alike.

PC Repair & Build FAQs

Can I provide my own components for a build or upgrade?

Yes. Bring your own parts, or we can source them for you. Either way, our hourly rate covers the assembly, testing, and setup.

What does the 48-hour burn-in test include?

Every custom workstation, gaming PC, and server runs 48 hours of stress testing before delivery: CPU and thermal load (Cinebench, Prime95), memory (MemTest86), graphics (FurMark, 3DMark), and storage write tests. Problems show up on our bench instead of at your desk.

Where do you offer on-site IT and repair services?

We work on-site in Kamloops and across the Thompson-Okanagan. Visits within Kamloops have no travel charge; travel beyond the city is billed per kilometre, as shown on our service area map.

How does your hourly billing work?

Each hourly service has its own rate, shown on its page: IT Consulting, Ubiquiti Professional Services, and Custom PC & Server Services. Work is billed in 30-minute increments, and every invoice lists the time spent and what we did. Managed AI, Storage & Backup, and DNS & Content Delivery services are scoped and quoted per engagement.
