No bundled price with a markup hiding inside it. You see what the parts cost and what you're paying for the build, the install, and the relationship, every time.

Every build is priced off exactly what parts it takes, not a marked-up number, whether that's the software your team runs or the game you want to play at 4K. Hardware ranges reflect real spec variation within a tier, but the build & install fee is flat no matter where you land. Component pricing (RAM especially) has been unusually volatile industry-wide this year, so treat these ranges as a starting point, your exact number gets confirmed against live pricing after a consult.
Pick what it's for, then dial in CPU, GPU, and RAM. This runs on the same pricing logic as the tiers above, calibrated against current market pricing, not a lowball number to get you on a call. Your exact quote gets confirmed against a real parts list during the consult.

Book a free consult on this specSame flat-fee approach as every tier above, it's just a bigger flat fee here, because there's genuinely more hands-on work in the build.
Soft-tube or hardline custom loops (EK, Alphacool, Bykski, and similar), specialty coolant, and reservoir/pump placement planned around your case from the start, not bolted on after. Every loop gets a full 12-24 hour leak test before the rest of the build ever gets powered on. Built for lower temps, near-silent operation, and a machine that looks as good as it runs.
Parts sourced and matched to a specific color palette or theme: cables, coolant, RGB lighting, and case accents all included, so the finished build looks intentional, not thrown together. Works with or without a water-cooled loop.
Every tier has its own standard build & install fee, $350 for CAD/BIM Standard, $500 for Render/Design Pro. Water-cooled and color-themed builds start at $400 flat and run higher from there depending on your tier, purely because of the extra time involved, hardware is still priced at cost either way. For context, professional water-cooling labor alone typically runs $150–$500 in the broader market on top of parts, so this fee sits solidly mid-market, not a premium markup. Bring the idea to a consult call and we'll quote the exact number together.
Monitors, keyboard, and mouse, sourced and installed alongside any build tier, whether it's a new seat at the firm or a home office setup.
Files, photos, documents, browser logins, all of it, transferred over and set up on your new machine before I hand it off. Nothing for you to figure out on your own.
Hardware stays close to cost. What you're actually paying me for is the work, and for knowing it was done right.
I could mark up parts and call it a bundle, plenty of people do, but you can price-check the same components in five minutes, and I'd rather earn your trust than bet on you not looking. Keeping hardware transparent and pricing the build & install fee as its own line means that fee only moves when there's real value behind it: faster turnaround, stronger guarantees, better supplier relationships, never because I quietly padded a number on you.
As those relationships improve, the savings don't disappear into a sticker price you'd never notice, they go straight into the fee instead: faster builds, parts I stand behind, and a warranty that actually means something.
A quick, honest look at what the alternatives cost, so the number above isn't just a number.
| Option | What you actually get | Typical price |
|---|---|---|
| CorsaWorks | Burn-in tested, OS & driver setup, delivered and set up in person, a direct line to the person who built it, plus an optional Care Plan after. | $350+, by scope |
| Other local CT shops e.g. Beyond PCs CT, The PC Guys, Stamford Computer Pros |
Comparable local service and scope of work, but pricing isn't published anywhere, you find out only after reaching out. Every CorsaWorks tier is already on this page. | Quote only |
| Premium boutique specialists e.g. Puget Systems |
Full white-glove build, extensive testing, dedicated support, but the fee is folded into the system price, not itemized, and the total sits at an enterprise price point. | Not itemized |
| Freelance / gig builders national marketplace average |
Build labor for a similarly complex job, roughly the same price band as CorsaWorks, but no local relationship, no warranty backing, and no in-person delivery or setup. | $300 – $500+ |
| Big-box assembly e.g. Micro Center |
Parts physically installed. No burn-in testing, no OS/driver setup, no delivery, no relationship after checkout. | $149 – $199 |
| DIY, with guidance CorsaWorks Consulting |
Still your build, but with a real parts list, a compatibility check, and a walkthrough of the process before you buy anything. See the Consulting page. | $35 flat |
| DIY (self-build) | You source every part, assemble it, troubleshoot driver issues, and stress-test it yourself, on your own time, with no warranty behind it. | $0 fee |
That fee isn't one flat number for every job, it scales with what the build actually needs: $350 for CAD/BIM Standard, $500 for Render/Design Pro, more for a full custom water-cooled loop. It's the same price band as hiring a freelance builder for comparable work, the difference is everything that's actually included: real burn-in testing, OS/driver setup, in-person delivery, and someone local who still picks up the phone after. Most shops in the area don't publish a number at all, you only find out after reaching out. Every price on this page is disclosed before you ever have to ask.
