A 13-year-old in Leaside builds these PCs. A real company stands behind them.
We tell you that on the first line because it’s the most important thing to know about us. Kavan, age 13, builds every mygamingpc.ca PC by hand in Leaside, Toronto. Exponential Labs, Inc. dba mygamingpc.ca is the company behind the brand — it handles invoices, warranty, and shipping. Parents like it when small businesses are direct about how they’re actually run.
Meet Kavan
Kavan is 13. He lives in Leaside, Toronto. He’s been taking PCs apart for as long as he’s been allowed to and building them since he was nine. He started mygamingpc.ca because the prebuilt gaming PCs his friends’ parents were buying came from companies that talked to gamers, not parents — and the kids he was helping set up always had the same handful of questions.
I built one for my friend in grade six. His mom asked if I could build one for her sister’s kid too. That’s sort of how this started.
— Kavan, 13
You won’t see Kavan’s last name, school, or street on this site. He’s a kid; that line is non-negotiable.
How the business actually runs
Two halves, one operation.
Kavan, age 13
Selects parts from our standard list, assembles every PC by hand in Leaside, runs cable management, installs Windows 11, and stress-tests each unit for several hours before it ships.
Exponential Labs, Inc. dba mygamingpc.ca
The Ontario corporation on your invoice. Replies to every customer email at [email protected], takes payments, files warranty claims with parts suppliers, books couriers, manages returns, and stands behind the warranty as the legal entity.
If you ever wonder “wait, who am I actually buying from?” — that’s the answer. Email us and you’re writing to the team at Exponential Labs, Inc. dba mygamingpc.ca.
Made in Leaside
Leaside is a quiet, family-skewing neighbourhood in Toronto, just east of the Don Valley. Plenty of kids, plenty of parents who buy gaming PCs for those kids. That’s where the workshop is. We don’t list a public street address — we’re not a retail store, and we’d rather not encourage drop-ins to a workshop.
The local angle isn’t marketing. Toronto pickup customers genuinely save the shipping window — usually a same-week appointment. GTA-area warranty turnaround is faster too, because we can swap a part in person rather than couriering. Read the Toronto / GTA details for how pickup actually works.
What we believe
1. Parents shouldn’t have to learn what a GPU is to buy their kid a PC. The whole industry is built on the assumption that the buyer is the gamer. For us, the buyer is a parent who wants someone trustworthy to make the call. Every page on this site is written for that parent.
2. Parental controls aren’t an add-on. They’re table stakes. Every PC ships with Windows 11 Family Safety pre-configured before it leaves Leaside. Every game your kid will play has a free parental-control guide on this site, dated and re-verified every 90 days. None of the seven big Canadian builders publish anything like this. We treat that as the moat.
3. Honest pricing and no fake urgency. No “only 2 left” banners. No invented sale countdowns. No fake five-star reviews. The price you see is the price; the SKU you pick is what we ship. If a part’s on backorder, we tell you the real ship date.
Why three PCs and no configurator
Hundreds of small choices — RAM speed, motherboard chipset, fan curves, BIOS settings — go into a quiet, reliable PC for a kid. We do that work once, well, three times. Starter for Minecraft and Roblox. Family for Fortnite and the next four years. Plus for higher-frame Fortnite and growing-up gaming. You pick by what your kid plays today and how long you want it to last.
What we don’t do
- No fake reviews. The reviews file on our server ships empty. When we have real customer testimonials with sources we’ll publish them. Until then, nothing.
- No invented unit counts. We won’t tell you we’ve shipped “over 5,000 PCs” because it isn’t true. We’re a small Toronto builder.
- No fake urgency. No “only 2 left”, no “sale ends in 30 minutes”, no countdown timers. Parents see through it and it cheapens everything else.
- No medical or developmental claims. We will never write “good for ADHD,” “builds STEM skills,” or “improves focus.” We sell PCs, not interventions.
- No real photo of Kavan. The illustrated avatar above is the only image of him on the site. He’s a kid; that’s the rule.
Frequently asked questions
How old is Kevin?
Kavan is 13. He lives in Leaside, Toronto and he builds every mygamingpc.ca PC. We tell you because parents value the directness — and because hiding it would be worse than saying it straight.
Who actually handles my warranty, order, or refund?
Exponential Labs, Inc. dba mygamingpc.ca is the company behind the brand. The team there handles invoices, payments, warranty claims, and shipping. Kavan builds the PCs; he never touches payment data, refunds, or shipping logistics.
Are these built in someone's bedroom?
They're built in a clean workspace in Leaside, Toronto — not on a kitchen table. Not a retail showroom either; we don't do walk-ins. Pickup is appointment-only after order confirmation.
Why a 13-year-old?
Because the brand is honest about who builds it. Kavan has been building PCs for years and is genuinely good at it. Parents trust this story more than the alternative — pretending the brand is older or more anonymous than it is.

You're buying from Exponential Labs, Inc. dba mygamingpc.ca, an Ontario company. The invoice, the warranty, the privacy policy, and the terms of service all reference Exponential Labs, Inc. dba mygamingpc.ca. Email goes to [email protected].
