About Us
We are exceptionally excited with how far Seattle Built has come. Since December 2020, our company has grown to build PCs for world-famous esport players, content creators with millions of fans, and developers of our favorite games.
With great success in so little time, we had to ask ourselves how we got here. It all boiled down to three characteristics:
We’re honest.
This company started just days after the computer world was
turned upside down due to the GPU market crash. Despite the ensuing chaos,
whether we were sourcing cards via Newegg, Amazon, or Best Buy, we have
ALWAYS sold our cards for exactly what we paid for. We hate scalpers too.
We make beautiful computers.
It was clear from the beginning, in order to stand
out, we had to look the part. So we set out to make some of the most stunning
custom PCs on the market. We like to do a little more than the typical RGB
“unicorn vomit” - though if that’s your sort of thing, we got you.
We don’t want to sell you a PC.
Wait what? Yes we’re a for-profit business, but
we’re not here to use fancy language and marketing. If you’re not ready to buy,
we’re not going to push you. Instead, we’ll collaborate on the best PC fit for
your budget and needs. Need more time before you buy, no problem. We’re
ready when you’re ready.
