About

My story

My journey with custom PCs started as a frustrated teenager who couldn't run games like Mass Effect and BioShock on my tiny laptop. That got me into PC building in 2012, spending way too much time on /r/buildapc and eventually building systems for friends. Today, I'm creating the custom PC marketplace I wish existed back then.

The problem

Buying and selling custom PCs can feel shady. Listings are often too vague and finding quality work is a gamble. Existing platforms rush them to market without considering the anxiety a customer may feel when purchasing an expensive, complex machine prone to multiple failure points. These computers can cost as much as a used car, but customers aren't treated like it.

The solution

I'm building Techsnap to make it easy to find a custom PC built by someone who actually knows what they're doing and stands behind it. Working with independent builders, I saw how much they care about both the craft and the customer, not just the sale. That's something the big vendors structurally can't offer.

Every builder on Techsnap is vetted. We check their technical expertise and track record before they ever list. The goal is simple: you shouldn't have to wonder if the person building your PC knows what they're doing. Techsnap exists to close that gap and give these builders the platform to show it.

I'm always seeking feedback to keep the Techsnap useful, so if you have any questions or ideas, please reach out or join our Discord.
