T-500 Birth (The story of budget gaming PC) - SOLD OUT

Updated: Feb 14, 2021

At AED 950 we are sure you can't find a better deal elsewhere. We don't claim, we guarantee that no one in UAE does this. Its not the price that matters, its the build. We put together this gaming PC with all the experience and knowledge we gained in the last 20 years of building PCs. The last six months we have been trying hard to do the right thing. Put a reliable gaming PC in the hands of people who cant afford a brand new PC priced over AED 3000. It all started when we tried to give a gaming PC to our kid for this 11th birthday. Now I can say we have the ultimate low budget PC that can handle any games at 720p high settings and most AAA titles in 1080p low settings. This PC is not going to blow your mind and it will definitely not blow your wallet. When we chose the parts and put together this PC, we were focused on providing a PC that can perform, we didn't think about the RGB or silly options that didn't add any value. So whats the guarantee for a used PC? None. When you buy a used pc from any one online or store, you don't get any warranty, do you? We at least offer 15 days of warranty. Plus we promise the PC will last as long as you need it. Now how can we assure you that?
