Built Different.
Built Right.

Expert PC help — from anywhere. About to drop $1,500 on a build? Eyeing a sketchy Marketplace deal? Staring at a machine that won’t boot? You get straight answers from someone who tests before he talks. No runaround. No upsell. Just the truth about your hardware.

Pick Your Fix

Three ways to get expert PC help online — no shop visit, no runaround. Find the one that fits, pay, then send me the details in the order section below.

That Marketplace deal — steal or trap?

Used-Hardware Buy/Pass Consult

Send me the listing before you buy. I’ll tell you what it’s really worth, what to watch out for, and whether to pull the trigger or walk away. Cheap insurance against an expensive mistake.

Five reads, same-day turnaround. Stops one bad buy and it’s already paid for itself.

About to drop serious cash? Don’t guess.

Custom Build Spec

Tell me your budget and what it’s for. You get back a complete, compatibility-checked parts list — no bottlenecks, no wasted money, nothing that won’t play nice together.

Budget — a build that works. Premium — dialed in: tighter synergy, peripherals, tuning notes, your color scheme, and a follow-up call.

Something’s broken and no IT guy?

Remote Diagnostic Session

Tell me the symptoms first — I do my homework before we connect, so your paid time goes toward the fix, not the fumbling. Then we hop on a secure session: isolate, test, fix, document.

Pay for the first hour. You’re paying for the fix — not for me to fumble around finding it.

“Every build leaves my bench stress-tested, documented, and backed by a quality guarantee. We don’t cut corners — we’re craftsmen.”

— Craig S. Schickling II, Boostnout Builds LLC

I Test Before I Talk

I’m Craig, and I run Boostnout Builds. Every machine that leaves my bench is stress-tested, documented, and backed by a 30-day labor warranty — and that’s the same standard behind every consult, spec, and diagnostic I sell online.

No cut corners. No upsell. No surprises.

  • I test 13th/14th-gen Intel chips for the voltage degradation issue before recommending them — a chip that passes once can still be cooked.
  • I know which games won’t even launch on an older platform — your hardware can be “fast enough” and still get blocked by TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot.
  • I match the GPU to what the CPU can actually feed, so you don’t waste $200 on a card your processor chokes.
  • If something’s untested or flawed, I tell you. Honesty protects you and it protects my name.
