Tell us a little about your business.
We custom build desktop computers and laptops for every need, from basic home or business use to the most advanced professional or gaming computers and servers. Not only does EXTREME PCs deliver new systems based on our clients’ unique specifications, but we also perform computer, laptop, cell phone and tablet repair. Any IT needs a home or business user has, we can help with. What makes us different is not only the wide array of hardware we use, but the service after the sale. We include a Lifetime Parts and Labor Warranty on all desktop computers we sell, which is unheard of in this business/industry.
How did you get started in the business?
At the age of 10 I was introduced to computers when my mom bought me my first Intel 386 PC. Over the years since I have developed a deep passion for computers and technology-related gadgets. I’ve always been interested in keeping up with the ever-evolving and changing technologies so it was a natural progression to start my own business.
