Workstations built for your software and set up at your desk

No, and the reason is arithmetic rather than snobbery. In 2026 the big brands buy memory and graphics cards in bulk at prices that let their prebuilt gaming machines match or beat a retail parts list, and a small builder buying at retail cannot compete on that price. Any big electronics retailer will assemble a gaming build for anyone who wants one. We build for businesses whose software is demanding enough that the parts have to be chosen for it, and we service those machines for years afterwards. That is a different product.

No. Dell, Lenovo and HP sell business desktops with a single warranty, next business day on-site service and factory registration into Microsoft's management tools for less than any custom machine can be built and supported for. For plain office work we resell those, set them up, connect them to your Microsoft 365 and support them, and we tell you so rather than selling you a custom box you do not need. Custom building earns its place only where the software needs it.

Every workstation carries a written Limited Warranty, published before the sale and inside the price. Studio: 2 years of labour, with parts claims handled by us through the manufacturers' own warranties. Pro Workstation and AI / Render: 3 years of parts and labour, which we deliver by choosing only components whose manufacturer warranty runs three years or longer and by handling every claim ourselves. It is never a separate line because Florida law treats a repair warranty sold for its own charge as a service warranty that needs an Office of Insurance Regulation licence, and because a warranty you have to pay extra for is a warranty most people decline. It is titled "Limited Warranty" as federal law requires, and nothing in it is conditional on buying parts from us.

Yes, to the whole sale. Florida defines the taxable sales price as the total amount paid for the goods including any services that are part of the sale, so when we sell you a workstation the parts, the sourcing line and the build fee are all taxed together at your county's rate. The quote shows it as its own line so there is no surprise on the invoice. Businesses buying with a valid resale or exemption certificate are handled accordingly.

Small moves are ours, big ones are your call. A quote is valid for 72 hours, and your payment locks it. Parts are ordered within one business day of payment. If a part's cost moves or it goes out of stock in that window and the difference is 3 percent of the parts total or less, we absorb it; that is what the sourcing and price-lock line pays for. If the move is larger, you choose: approve the new price at cost plus the same markup, take a named equal-or-better alternative at the quoted price if one exists, wait for the price to settle, or cancel and keep the full payment as Appluex credit for any service or another build. There are no cash refunds. Once parts are ordered the price is fixed, later moves in either direction are ours, and the order can no longer be cancelled.

Only a swap of brand for an identical specification, such as one 1 TB drive for another of the same speed, endurance and warranty, and even that is named on the build sheet. The processor, the graphics card, the amount of memory, the storage capacity, or anything that would lower a specification never changes without your written approval. If you change the specification after ordering, it is re-quoted as a new quote and the sourcing line applies to the new parts only.

Yes, for business buyers, through a leasing partner such as TD SYNNEX Capital or LEAF Commercial Capital, on terms that typically run from 12 to 60 months with fair market value or one-dollar buyout options, subject to the lessor's approval. We do not publish a monthly figure because the lessor sets the rate on your application, not us; what we do is deliver the quote in the form the lessor needs and hand over the machines once they approve it. We never lease to consumers.

Yes, that is where every build starts. Autodesk, Dassault, Adobe, Blackmagic and the rest publish hardware guidance and, for professional graphics cards, lists of certified drivers, and a Pro Workstation is specified against that document for the software you actually run. Then it is timed on that software before delivery, because a configuration that passes a generic test and stutters in your model has failed. Where a maker's certification requires a specific professional graphics card, we say so and price it, and we do not quietly swap in a gaming card to hit a number.

Because a business workstation has to join your Microsoft 365, be managed alongside your other computers, and have its drive encrypted so a stolen machine does not mean stolen files, and the Home edition can do none of that. Microsoft 365 business subscriptions cannot upgrade a Home installation either, so starting on Home means buying the upgrade later. Windows 11 Pro is preinstalled on the complete system under the system builder licence, and we are its first line of support.

Because you can price a graphics card in ten minutes, and you should. Parts are billed at our cost plus a sourcing and price-lock line of 8 percent, falling to 5 percent on the part of a parts bill above $10,000. That line pays for ordering, receiving, returns, and for absorbing small price moves between your payment and the order. Folding it into the component prices would make every line look a little high and invite line-by-line haggling; showing it says plainly what you pay for the parts and what you pay for the service. The build fee is the same whatever the parts cost.

On a Pro Workstation one old PC's move is included: user profiles, files, browser data and transferable application settings, up to 1 TB. Each additional PC is a published add-on. The old drive is wiped to the federal standard for erasing data (NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2), with a chain-of-custody form from the moment we take it and a certificate per drive serial number, which is what Florida's information protection law expects when a third party disposes of records. The retired machine can be collected for certified recycling, or left with you.

Five to seven business days after the parts arrive, of which twenty-four hours is the machine running flat out unattended. How long the parts take depends on what the distributors have in stock on the day, and the quote states it. A rush build is ready two business days after parts arrive, with rush freight at cost, and even on a rush the 24 hours are never shortened, because the boards and processors that are going to fail tend to do it in the first day under load, and we would rather that happen on our bench.

We test the machine's own power and heat with everything running flat out and tell you, in writing, what it draws from the wall and what that means for the circuit it is going on, including whether it should have a circuit to itself. That is advice only. We do no electrical work and no cabling; where the room needs a new circuit, a licensed electrical contractor does it under a contract with you directly, and we are happy to brief them.

Yes. Delivery and desk setup are included in those five cities, with no travel charge. Everywhere else, Miami included, the workstation ships insured at cost, packed the way it was tested, and the setup is done remotely with you on the call: displays and dock, your software signed in, your files moved from the old machine and the workstation joined to your Microsoft 365, the same list as the visit.

No. We build to order only and hold no stock beyond a diagnostic spares kit, because in 2026 holding components is a bet on prices that move weekly, and we would rather pass you our cost on the day than carry that bet into your quote. If you want to keep spares for your own machines, that is a published option: parts at cost plus the sourcing line, assembled into a kit and tested, stored on our shelf labelled to you.
