How we build
One bench.
One machine
at a time.
There is no production line here. Your PC is built by a named person in a workshop in Mullingar, tested until we are happy with it, and signed off before it is boxed.
Before a part is ordered
Somebody reads your spec
The builder stops you creating something that cannot physically work. A human then checks whether it is a good idea — a different thing entirely.
- Is the graphics card matched to the processor, or will one starve the other?
- Is the power supply comfortable, or working at its limit from day one?
- Will that cooler actually keep that chip in check inside that case?
- Is there a cheaper part that does the same job for you? We will say so and you keep the difference.
What is included, always
- Assembly, cable management and fan-curve setup
- Windows 11 installed, activated, updated, no bloatware
- Drivers and firmware brought up to date on the bench
- Hours of load testing with temperatures logged
- 12-month warranty, repaired in our own workshop
- Free tracked delivery in Ireland, or collect in Mullingar
On the bench
The bits nobody photographs
Anyone can screw a PC together. What decides whether it is still quiet and stable in three years is the boring work.
Airflow first
Fans set to move air in one direction through the case, not fight each other. Cables routed behind the tray so they are not sitting in the intake.
Mounted properly
Correct standoffs, even cooler pressure, the right amount of paste. Heavy cards supported so the slot is not carrying the weight for years.
Tested under load
Processor and graphics stressed together, memory checked, storage verified, temperatures watched. If it wobbles here, it never leaves.
Set up, not just installed
Windows updated, drivers current, BIOS settings correct so your memory actually runs at the speed you paid for.
Packed to survive
Double-boxed with the internals braced. Couriers are couriers — we pack for the worst one.
Written down
Your exact spec is on file. When you ring in two years about an upgrade, we already know what is in there.
The honest bit
Where we are not the cheapest
Large UK builders buy components in volumes we cannot match, and sometimes their finished machine is cheaper than our parts. We are not going to pretend otherwise.
- What you get here instead: the machine is built and warrantied in Ireland, by people you can stand in front of.
- No courier ping-pong to another country when something needs looking at.
- The same bench that built it repairs it — usually in days, not weeks.
- And if a spec really does not add up against the market, we will tell you that too.
Warranty, in plain English
12 months on the machine as a whole from the day you get it. If something fails, ring us and it comes back to Mullingar — we diagnose it, repair or replace the part, and test the machine again before it goes back to you.
Your statutory rights under Irish consumer law sit on top of that, not underneath it.
Accidental damage, liquid and modifications are not covered — but bring it in anyway and we will quote you for the repair.
PC Foundry is a new name. The workshop behind it is not — these are real Google reviews for Creative IT, the shop that builds every machine we ship.
★★★★★It’s the third time I purchase a refurbished item from Creative IT and I never regret it. From the friendly website to the fast support through WhatsApp, and the products itself, I have always been satisfied with their deliverables. Nonetheless, the delivery is quick…
★★★★★Very helpful and knowledgeable staff. I had my PC upgraded with them after my old motherboard malfunctioned. The job was done very well, and the price was fair. It turned out my old GPU was destroyed in the same voltage spike that fried my old motherboard - but they…
★★★★★recently dropped in my PlayStation as it had been giving me trouble for a long time. I’d brought it to several other shops before, but nobody was able to properly fix the issue. From start to finish, the communication was excellent. I was kept updated throughout the…
★★★★★Went to Creative IT to have a console repaired. The entire process was smooth with excellent communication and the repair was carried out within the specified timeframe. Pricing was made clear from the outset too. Console is now in working order. Thank you to the team…
★★★★★This is my second purchase from Creative IT. Having previously bought a reconditioned notebook which worked fantastically, I opted for a reconditioned Samsung S24 FE phone. I get longevity from my phones (5 years from the last one) so I went for the highest spec they…
