Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about custom build computer in Portobello, Edinburgh.
Every PC build job is a little different, so we discuss the work and the price directly with you before anything starts. Send us a message or give us a call with a quick description of the issue and we'll come back with a clear plan tailored to your PC build. No surprises and no hidden fees — you'll know exactly what's involved before you commit.
Most custom build computer jobs in Portobello are completed the same day or within 24–48 hours, depending on the fault and parts availability. If you book first thing in the morning, simple fixes are usually returned by the evening. For more complex jobs we can collect from anywhere in EH15 — Portobello High Street, the Promenade, Bath Street — and keep you updated by message until the PC build is back with you.
Yes — we cover the full EH15 postcode area. That includes Portobello High Street, the Promenade, Bath Street, the Promenade, Joppa, Brighton Place, and the rest of central Edinburgh. Whether you need a workshop drop-off, a home visit, or doorstep collection, we adapt to fit your schedule.
All our labour comes with a 30-day workmanship warranty — if the same fault returns, we'll put it right. Parts we supply (batteries, SSDs, screens, keyboards) carry the manufacturer's warranty, typically 6–36 months depending on the component.
We work with every major brand and configuration in Portobello. Whether your PC build is consumer, business-grade, or a custom build, send us the model details and we'll let you know what's involved.
Yes — happy to build with parts you've supplied. For Portobello customers we'll check compatibility before you order (PSU wattage, motherboard socket, case clearance, RAM type) so nothing arrives that doesn't fit. Build labour and testing is the same regardless of where parts came from. The only thing we can't warranty is parts we didn't supply — those carry the manufacturer's warranty direct to you. Always pre-purchase compatibility check.
Yes — this is where custom builds really shine over off-the-shelf. For Portobello content creators we spec around the actual workload: video editing benefits from many cores + lots of RAM + fast NVMe; 3D rendering wants high-core-count CPUs + workstation GPUs; AI/ML workloads need NVIDIA cards with VRAM. We'll talk through your actual software (Premiere, DaVinci, Blender, Lightroom) and build for it rather than for benchmarks.
Often yes — and frequently the better answer financially. For Portobello customers we'll honestly assess whether your existing PC has good bones (motherboard age, PSU quality, case airflow). If it does, an upgrade — SSD, more RAM, GPU swap, fresh paste — can deliver 60–80% of a new-build's gains for 20–30% of the cost. If the platform is tapped out (very old socket, weak PSU), we'll say so rather than waste your money.
