Desktop assembly service in Kenya

Assemble desktop computers to an agreed workload and tested component specification.

A CONCRETE EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE

Fictional desktop build PC-109 targets 16GB RAM,512GB SSD and integrated graphics for office documents. One approved bill of materials names actual CPU, motherboard, RAM, storage, case and power supply before purchase; no unspecified socket compatibility is assumed. A competent assembler follows component manuals. Output is serial/BOM record, diagnostics and owner handover; mains-power-supply repair and pirated software are excluded.

Who is the first customer?

Small offices and users needing a transparent build rather than the cheapest component list.

Test the offer

Prepare one sample specification and compare component compatibility before taking a deposit.
