Take charge of a small PC building and repair business. Read customer emails, accept jobs, and handle requests ranging from basic fixes and upgrades to complete custom builds.
Work hands-on with computer components: assemble systems, troubleshoot faults, remove viruses, install software, and meet customers’ specifications. Customize builds with different parts, lighting, cabling, and cooling, then benchmark or overclock a finished PC.
Career mode adds budgets, business management, workshop upgrades, and increasingly complex jobs. Free Build lets you experiment without customer orders, while step-by-step guidance introduces hardware and assembly basics. An IT support campaign places you in a company help-desk role.
Players often enjoy the relaxed, hands-on process of assembling and troubleshooting PCs, and several say it helped them understand hardware or feel more confident about building a computer. Career jobs and creative custom builds also appeal to players who like running a workshop or experimenting with parts. Some reviews find the work repetitive over time, and many criticize the aging hardware selection or the sequel’s availability on another storefront.
