Custom PCs, built by hand, delivered by a real person in San Rafael.
Charlie PCS designs and assembles custom computers for customers in San Rafael and around Marin County, from gaming rigs to workstations and everyday builds, matched to your budget and picked up (or set up) in person.
Three ways to work with Charlie PCS
Every build starts with a conversation about what you actually need, then real parts, chosen and assembled in person.
Full custom PC
Tell me your budget and what you use a PC for (gaming, editing, work), and I'll spec, source, and assemble a machine built around it.
Upgrades & parts swaps
Already have a PC that's slowing down? I'll diagnose bottlenecks and upgrade the parts that actually move the needle.
Repair & troubleshooting
Won't boot, overheating, blue screens: I'll take a look in person and explain what's wrong and what it costs to fix.
From first message to finished build
Four steps, all handled locally and in person.
Consultation
We talk through what you need the PC to do and what you'd like to spend.
Spec & quote
You get a parts list and a price before anything is ordered.
Build & test
I assemble the machine and run it through stress tests before handoff.
Local handoff
Meet in person for pickup, or I'll set it up on-site if that's easier.
You're buying a PC and a person, not a call center
-
Face-to-face, not a ticket queue
Ask questions in person, see the parts before they go in, and get a straight answer about what you need.
-
No shipping, no waiting on freight
Builds are handed off locally, so there's no box sitting in a warehouse or a truck.
-
Support after the build too
If something's off after pickup, you can reach the person who actually built your PC.
Builds that have gone out the door
A few examples of finished machines. More get added here as they're completed.
Let's talk about your build
Send a message with what you're looking for, or reach out directly. I'll get back to you within [one business day] to set up a consultation.
