Prebuilt PCs cut corners. We do not.
Big-box gaming PCs look good on paper. Then you open them up and find a no-name power supply, a motherboard with no upgrade path, and a CPU cooler that sounds like a jet engine. We see these machines on our repair bench every week.
A custom build from Fateka uses the parts you choose, from brands you trust. We sell CPUs, GPUs, motherboards, RAM, SSDs, cases, power supplies, and cooling solutions right here in our store. Walk in, pick what you want, and we build it the same week. Or bring your own parts and we assemble them. Either way, every cable is managed, every connection is secure, and every system is stress-tested under full load before you take it home.
We have been building PCs for over 30 years. Our technicians are the same people who repair them. We know what lasts, what fails, and what is worth your money.
Recent builds from our Herndon workshop. All components available in store.
