  • Custom Built computers have a 60 day warranty where I won't charge if something happens to it (software related). After that, it's the standard hourly rate to repair. Warranty on the hardware components used in the computer will be whatever the manufacturer/retailer warranty is (this varies from 30 days to a couple of years depending on the component).
