Computer Lounge

When a customer asked us for a PC capable of maxing out every in-game graphical setting at 4K, 'without all the flashy RGB', we knew exactly what we had to do.

From the flaghsip-tier RTX 4090 24GB, to the current king of gaming CPUs, the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D, every component in this build was carefully selected to deliver unmatched performance.

The best part? We were able to achieve the performance that the customer was after without flashy RGB lighting - just pure, understated performance.

Here's to creating custom PCs that meet our customers' every need, whether it is meeting the latest RGB trends, or building a minimalistic system that integrates seamlessly into any living space... It's what we do best!

It's all about balance ☯️

Great products, better prices with our Intel Gamer Days discounts for a limited time only!

While stocks last!

We've teased these builds for a while now...

And I can now say with excitement that they're live on the website and available for purchase, we've already shipped out one of the black models which was clearly the fan favourite receiving over 50% of votes across all our socials!

If you see a model that you want but notice ‘on back-order’ feel free to reach out for an ETA, as there will likely be more in production.

With the huge rise in consumers using video content to research and educate themselves in recent times we have seen the decline of many massively popular hardware / tech outlets such as AnandTech which recently just closed it's operations for good.

Can we expect to see this slowly happening across the board?

Check out one of our more recent creations, an AI workstation that's nothing short of a powerhouse.

Equipped with not one, but two RTX 4090 GPUs, this system boasts a massive 48GB of combined VRAM, making it an ideal solution for demanding local AI applications.

We're excited to share more of what we've been working on, so stay tuned for more updates!

If you've been keeping up with our socials, you'd know we've been working very hard on a new series of Pre-Built PCs!

And we want to get a gauge on what kind of case + lighting combos everyone likes, so let us know down in the comments which one catches your eyes the most!

We all have that special item that we wont let go of no matter what. It could be a lucky charm, a sentimental gift or even something like a teddy bear.

Do you any of you still use a peripheral that's a little (a lot) overdue for an upgrade but you just don't want to stop using it?

What's the only thing better than games?? FREE games of course!

If you're in the market for a new PC, there is no better time than RIGHT NOW!

Because we have 3 game bundle promotions running including some of the most anticipated releases such as Assassins Creed Shadows & Star Wars Outlaws, plus heaps of our Pre-Built PCs are eligible to redeem more than one of these promotions.

Limited time only! Act Quick!

Steam has surpassed 37 million concurrent users for the first time in its history: That's 37,242,724 people connected to Valve's services all at the same time... CRAZY

This shows a large increase from the previous 33 million in march of this year, and it's believed the recent launch of Black Myth: Wukong played a big part in this success.

After launching on Steam on August 19 it quickly powered its way to the top of the charts, becoming the second-most played Steam game of all time. Its peak concurrent player count of more than 2.4 million crushed previous records held by games including Palworld and CS:GO, and now stands second only to PUBG Battlegrounds.

Have you had a chance to play it yet, and if so does it deserve all the hype?

Celebrate Intel Gamer Days & Get the new Assassins Creed Shadows with the purchase of qualifying Intel Core powered PCs & Desktop Processors!

On top of this we have a wide range of components & peripherals currently on sale!

Promotion valid until 15th September 2024, or while stocks last.

At Computer Lounge we're specialists in making your vision come to life..

Just like when this client told us he needed a high-powered CAD Modelling Workstation with a small enough footprint to live on his desk.

And we had the perfect solution in mind. We squeezed some crazy performance / L out of the Corsair 2000D chassis and inside you'll find a:

- 24-core Intel i9-14900KS
- 64GB of 6800mhz DDR5 RAM
- 2TB Gen. 5 NVMe SSD
- RTX 4070 Ti Super 16GB

So if a small yet extremely powerful desktop PC is something you're after then look no further.

During a conversation about gaming among different generations / eras i had the thought...

What actually defines an "era" of gaming? Is it the hardware? Like the console, arcade machine or PC it's played on, or even 8-bit, 16-bit or 32-bit systems?

I think a great way we can define these eras individually is by looking back at the timeline of when what games we were playing and how relevant they were when we picked them up.

Let's share our timelines in the comments!

New Release!

Whether you rule with your right hand, or have a more ambidextrous approach..

The latest release of Glorious Model O 2 & D 2 PRO Mice have got you covered!

Packed with the same top-of-class features as the already released black versions such as:
- 2.4GHz Wireless
- 4K/8KHz Polling
- BAMF 2.0 Sensor

We've got one of each in-stock now, and more in transit as we speak!

Errrrr... at least the PC won't cheat on you 😖

The wait is over—AMD Zen 5 has officially landed.

We’d like to hear your thoughts on the latest release. What’s your take on the new features and performance? Share your opinion in the comments.

In-stock & available on our website now!

Initially praised for "listening to the community", but now facing immense backlash...

Is the reality for MoreFun studios, developers behind new tactical extraction shooter "Arena Breakout Infinite" after making the game extremely pay-to-win.

In this game if you die, you lose all your items, unless you have managed to extract them from the map just like Tarkov, but in ABI you can get special "cases" that will keep your gear safe if you die, however they come with a monthly subscription.

Players can also buy more in-game currency to get better guns, ammo, items etc which leads to a toxic pay-to-win experience, that ruins the game for those that who don't spend real cash.. something the Devs initially promised against and it's the reason why their fans are so angry.

What's your thoughts are you happy with paying a monthly sub?

In our last post you saw Alex installing the INNO3D 4090 in the Fractal Meshify 2 XL Workstation behind the Terra build...

But now I wanna ask you guys, does size matter when it comes to PC building.

I know some people might be restricted on size due to desk or room space, but if those weren't factors are you going full tower or SFF?

Is the utilitarian aesthetic of workstations growing on you guys as much as it for us?

They’re designed with functionality in mind, but often end up looking as good as our RGB gaming rigs!

Parts list for this absolute beast of a workstation:

- ASUS PRO WS TRX50-SAGE WIFI Motherboard
- AMD Ryzen Threadripper 7970X 32 Core Processor
- Noctua NH-U14S TR5-SP6 CPU Cooler
- Kingston FURY Renegade Pro 128GB DDR5-5600 CL36 Memory
- Samsung 990 PRO 2TB Gen4 M.2 NVMe SSD
- Kingston NV2 4TB PCIe Gen 4 NVMe M.2 SSD
- INNO3D GeForce RTX 4090 X3 OC 24GB GPU
- Thermaltake Toughpower GF A3 1050W 80+ Gold
- Fractal Design Meshify 2 XL

THINK FAST! triple-down on deals for another 11 days!!

Purchase an eligible AMD Ryzen + Nvidia RTX Pre-Built Gaming PC and you can double-down on our promotions to get 3x FREE games! But it gets better...

Prices on a bunch of the eligible PCs have also been slashed 🔪

Which one are you? (drop a reaction)

These memes have been everywhere, so obviously we had to hop on board 😂.

Seriously though.. How is that guy so nonchalant!

We've got some serious skin in the game... (images from 2014)

As a PC building & tech company that's been around since 2003 we've seen countless trends, styles & ways of doing things come and go..

But one thing we've always stuck true to is putting each and every build together with the utmost attention to detail from planning PC builds for upcoming games & components to intense 48-Hour stress testing and cable-managing for the owners peace of mind!

Which you can see in our builds from way back in the day right up to our current builds!

If you like these pics show some love with a like or comment!

What's completely different about our latest pre-build compared to all our other ones?

Hint: It's white and really hard to miss....

Oh, and if you liked this PC, click the link in the comments!

Can you help us?

If you haven't already seen on our other socials... we've been struggling!

We just finished piecing together this powerful, mesmerizing RTX 4070 Ti SUPER + Ryzen 7800X3D gaming PC beast... But we haven't been able to come up with a suitable name that matches the vibe and feel of this PC.

Which is where you guys come in! drop some name suggestions down below and we might just use one of them!

We've all been there.. You're going to sleep but your game hasn't finished installing. So what do you do? Obviously you leave it running...

But at what cost? Here's an extreme version of that exact case that hopefully many of us will never see.

This reddit user was forced to leave his system running.. Hardware & software untouched for over 2 months as he didn't want to interrupt the extremely complex and unstable generative ai process for a massive project he's been working on for over 2 years!

I'm interested to know.. What's the longest you've left your PC running?

11 Years of early access before releasing is wild!

Since its early access launch in 2013, 7 Days to Die constantly made significant improvements and changes. Despite this, the developers could never provide a clear explanation for the delay of the full release.

A Reddit user said "It's because it's lead by ADHD squirrels implementing random feats every alpha, then fixing all the bugs that are created by these feats. But I'm not complaining, for 10 bucks I got a game that's different every alpha."

Which could make sense considering the game has changed a lot since back in 2013.
Have you guys played it? what are your thoughts?

Surpass Ordinary. Play Extraordinary...

AMD's latest additions to the Ryzen family have just launched! You can now find 2 new refreshing variants in the AMD line up on our website, the new Ryzen 7 5800XT and Ryzen 9 5900XT.
