What Goes Into Each Build?
The basic components of a computer are the motherboard, processor, RAM and storage, and the externals: PC case, power supply, monitor and the peripherals - keyboard, mouse, speakers. That said, it’s so much more than just a piece of hardware that we build for you.
Each of our custom computers are just as unique as the individual who will be using them. We hand select parts from manufacturers such as Intel, AMD, Corsair, Asus, Asrock, Nvidia, G-Skill, Kingston, and others based on their current capabilities, future expansion, budget and reliability.

Customer Success Story
Leslie
Business: Novita Family Photo
“Before I got my computer from ZenBuilt, I was working with an iMac that was supposedly good for photographers. However, it was loud, bulky and SLOW.
When I met with ZenBuilt for the first time to discuss what I needed in a computer, they helped me understand why my current machine wasn't a good fit for my needs, and explained (in non-technical people terms) what specifications were going to work well for me and my business. They also helped me understand some simple process/workflow changes I could make to optimize the speed of whatever machine I ended up getting. Whether I decided to buy or not, they really took the time to understand my needs and leave me with tangible action steps to improve my tech issues right from the first call.
ZenBuilt built a BEAST for me! I had always been a Mac user (because ya know - that's what photographers are supposed to use), but they helped me understand that a PC would give me more bang for my buck and still produce amazing results. I have ZERO regrets on the switch."

On my old machine, it used to take 45 minutes to import images into Lightroom (roughly 450 images from a birth session). With the new computer it only took 9 minutes total. Pasting presets went from 16 minutes to 7.36 seconds. MIND BLOWN.
Also, the general speed of my computer is soooo much faster. I used to have to wait for my computer to catch up when I made changes/edits in lightroom, and now it works as quickly as my hand can move the mouse. I have saved soooo much time with literally everything - from booting the machine, to editing and creating products in photoshop. I'm also starting to do more video/video editing, which I wouldn't have even tried on the old computer since it was so slow.
I cannot thank you enough for this machine, and I will definitely be coming back to you when it's time to upgrade. Thank you!!
