Gaming PCs built in Leaside, Toronto

Where we are

The workshop is in Leaside, a quiet, family-skewing residential neighbourhood in central-east Toronto, just east of the Don Valley. Plenty of kids in the neighbourhood, plenty of parents buying gaming PCs for those kids — that’s where the brand started.

We don’t list a public retail address. The workshop isn’t a store, and we’d rather not encourage walk-ins to a space where one teenager is concentrating on cable management. Pickup is appointment-only after order confirmation.

The three PCs

What makes us different from other Toronto builders

Three honest beats. The other GTA builders — GamerTech in Vaughan, Technoid in Mississauga, others — do good work; they’re aimed at a different customer.

1. Parent-aimed, not gamer-aimed

The big GTA builders write for adult enthusiasts: spec sheets, RGB battle stations, configurators with hundreds of choices. We write for parents. The lead form asks “who’s it for?” and the email reply is “here’s which build fits, in plain English.”

2. Three honest builds, no configurator

Hundreds of small choices — RAM speed, motherboard chipset, fan curves — go into a quiet, reliable PC. We do that work once, well, three times. Choice-reduction is the product.

3. Free parental-control content

None of our local competitors publish dated, re-verified parental-control guides for the games kids actually play. We do. Fortnite, Roblox, Minecraft, Discord, Steam, Epic, screen time, Windows 11 Family Safety — every guide dated, re-verified every 90 days. Browse the hub.

Local pickup

Appointment-only, after order confirmation. The flow:

1. Order online or by email. Mention “GTA pickup” in the lead form or the order note.
2. We email back to confirm the order and start the build. Build window is 3–5 business days.
3. When the build is finished and stress-tested, we email a pickup window — usually within the same week.
4. You arrive at the booked time, we hand you the boxed PC and the printed setup card, and you can ask any questions on the spot for five minutes.

Pickup typically saves a couple of days versus shipping (1–2 days Ontario transit). The cost is the same as shipping — free. We don’t do walk-ins.

For Toronto-area parents specifically

Honest local notes for the GTA reader.

What neighbourhoods we get from: the customer base is genuinely city-wide — Leaside, East York, North York, Etobicoke, Scarborough, midtown, downtown, and out into Mississauga and Markham. Pickup works for all of them; the drive to Leaside is short by GTA standards. We’ve had customers come from as far as Ajax and Brampton; we’d ship to Hamilton or Barrie before asking someone to drive.

Apartment / condo / townhouse: the boxed PC is roughly the size of a microwave in its outer carton. Fits in any car. The PC itself isn’t especially heavy — about 12–15 kg depending on the build. If you live in a tight building elevator, the carton fits a standard apartment elevator easily.

Toronto-area warranty: in-person warranty turnaround is fast for GTA customers — we can swap a part in person rather than couriering. This is a real reason to consider local pickup over shipping if you’re close.

Local-only — by design

We’re a small operation. Tight geography is part of how we keep the build quality and the warranty turnaround tight too. If you’re outside our delivery zones — the inner-Toronto neighbourhoods around Leaside, the wider East York / Don Mills / Forest Hill / Riverdale ring — we don’t deliver in v1. Email us if you’d like; sometimes the right answer is recommending a builder closer to you. Full zone list on the shipping page.
