A PC that actually runs the way it should.
Slow startup, constant popups, a laptop that won't connect to Wi-Fi, or a new build that needs to be put together right — MacKinnon Tech handles PC repair, cleanup, and custom builds for home and small business systems.
Diagnosed properly. Fixed right.
Every repair or build starts with understanding what the system actually needs — not guessing.
Diagnostics first
Before anything is replaced or reinstalled, the actual problem gets identified — slow performance, overheating, infections, or failing hardware.
Cleanup & optimization
Startup bloat, junk programs, and background clutter removed so the system boots and runs the way it should.
Virus & malware removal
Popups, browser hijacks, and infections cleaned up, with basic protection put in place to help prevent a repeat.
Hardware upgrades
RAM increases, SSD swaps, GPU upgrades, and cooling fixes — installed correctly and tested before handoff.
Custom builds
Gaming or work PCs built to spec, assembled cleanly, and benchmarked before they reach you.
Honest pricing
A clear estimate before any work starts. No vague flat fees and no surprise charges after the fact.
Built by hand. Built to last.
MacKinnon Tech has about 8 years of hands-on custom PC building experience — gaming rigs, workstation builds, and home office systems, assembled and tuned the same careful way every time. This isn't a side hobby; it's a real, repeatable service covering performance upgrades, troubleshooting, part selection, cable management, cooling, BIOS setup, and full system optimization.
Gaming PCs
High-refresh, high-FPS builds tuned around the games you actually play and the budget you actually have.
Workstation PCs
Builds sized for real workloads — content creation, development, virtualization, or heavy multitasking.
Performance upgrades
Targeted CPU, GPU, RAM, and storage upgrades that meaningfully move the needle, not just swap parts.
Troubleshooting
Boot failures, instability, and bottlenecks tracked down to the actual cause instead of guesswork.
Part selection
Components chosen for compatibility, value, and longevity — not whatever is trending that week.
Cable management
Clean, routed builds that look as good as they run and stay easy to service later.
Cooling
Air or liquid cooling planned around real thermals, not marketing numbers, so the system stays quiet and stable under load.
BIOS setup & optimization
Memory profiles, boot order, fan curves, and system settings configured correctly before the build ever ships.
A clear process, start to finish.
Every build or repair follows the same straightforward path — no guesswork, no surprises.
Consultation
A direct conversation about what the system needs to do and where it's falling short today.
Use-case discussion
Gaming, work, streaming, or general use — the build or repair plan follows the actual use case.
Budget planning
A realistic budget set up front, so every recommendation fits what you're actually willing to spend.
Parts recommendation
Specific components recommended and explained — what they do and why they're the right fit.
Build or upgrade plan
A clear plan for the build or upgrade before any parts are ordered or any case is opened.
Assembly / repair / optimization
The hands-on work — assembled, repaired, or upgraded, then tuned for the way it'll actually be used.
Testing and validation
Stress-tested, benchmarked, and checked for stability and temperatures before it's called done.
Final handoff and support
A walkthrough of what was done, plus support afterward if questions come up.
Recent PC work.
A look at recent custom builds — real systems, assembled and tuned for the people running them.
Tell me what's going on.
Most repairs start with a quick description of the problem — what the computer is doing, when it started, and what's already been tried. From there I'll give you a straight answer on what it needs.
