“Brought in a build that kept crashing mid-match. They found a faulty RAM stick the big store missed, rebuilt it, and my 1% lows have never been better. Genuinely knowledgeable crew.”

How we work
A workshop that treats your setup like its own
We started Tarevokin in 2016 after one too many big-box stores shrugged at a dropped frame rate. Today our four-person bench in Surry Hills handles everything from first-time builds to competitive-team overhauls.
01
Talk it through
A free 30-minute consult in-store or over the phone. We map your games, resolution target, budget and desk space before a single part is ordered.
02
Build & burn-in
Every rig gets 12 hours of thermal and stability testing, cable management you could photograph, and a labelled parts sheet so you always know what is inside.
03
Tune the network
We optimise routing, QoS and Wi-Fi placement so your latency to Sydney and Melbourne servers stays low and stable — not just fast on a speed test.
04
Support that answers
Three-year bench warranty and a real person on +61 2 9318 7205. Bring it back any time for a free health check and dust-out.

“My first custom PC and I was nervous about the money. The consult was patient and honest — they talked me down from parts I did not need. Runs everything at 1440p flawlessly.”

“The network tuning was the best $220 I have spent. Ping to the Sydney servers dropped and, more importantly, stopped spiking during peak hours. Full report emailed the same day.”

“Handheld charging port fixed in two days for well under what I expected. Took a little longer than quoted, but they called ahead to explain. Warranty card in the box too.”

Frequently asked questions
Still deciding? Here are the questions the bench hears most often.
Absolutely. We are happy to assemble parts you have already bought, or mix your existing components with new ones. Our build labour starts at AUD $220 in that case, and the 3-year workmanship warranty still applies to the assembly.
Yes. Console and handheld diagnostics are free, and if we cannot repair the fault you owe nothing. If a repair is possible we quote the full cost before starting any work, so there are never surprise labour charges.
Most builds are ready in 5 to 7 business days, including a 12-hour burn-in and stability test. If we are waiting on a specific part we will tell you at consult and keep you updated by phone or email.
We are at 67 Devonshire Street, Surry Hills, a short walk from Central Station. Walk-ins are welcome for repairs and quick questions, but builds and network tuning run best when you book a consult first.
We do. We set up and cable-manage tournament racks, configure identical rigs for fair play, and can be on call during the event. Get in touch with your seat count and dates for a tailored quote.
The workshop is open Monday to Friday 10am–6pm and Saturday 10am–4pm, and we are closed Sundays. After-hours event support can be arranged in advance.
