About Reforged PCs

Small shop. Serious bench.

Reforged PCs is one workshop in Tucson, Arizona. We buy hardware worth keeping, build it into gaming PCs, and publish everything we learned about each one before you decide.

The short version

Why Reforged exists

You shouldn’t have to take our word for it.

Most second-hand gaming PCs are sold as one photo, a vague spec list and a promise. You find out what you actually bought when you get it home and load a game.

Reforged is built on the opposite idea: sell the machine with the same information the person who built it had. The exact parts and their condition, the frame rates it really produced, and the price — all of it in front of you before you decide, not after.

What we believe

Four things we don’t bend on.

They decide what gets listed, how it is described, and why the lineup stays small.

  • Say what it is

    Every part is named, and every part says whether it is new or used. If a machine has a quirk, that goes in writing next to the specification — not into a conversation after you have paid.

  • Measure, don’t estimate

    A frame rate on this site came off a bench, with the settings printed beside it. Where a game was never run there is no number, and we would rather show you the gap than fill it.

  • Keep the lineup small

    Only a handful of machines are listed at once. Each one is photographed, tested and written up by hand, and that work does not scale to a warehouse.

  • Stay in the room

    Every sale ends face to face in Tucson. You meet the person who built the thing, and you know where to find them afterwards.

Local on purpose

Tucson is the whole point.

We buy hardware here, build here, and hand it over here — in person, or delivered across the Tucson area.

That is also why there is no shipping. A box on a courier is a machine you cannot ask about, from a shop you cannot walk back into. We would rather sell fewer PCs to people who can find us again.
