Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I purchase a pre-built PC instead of building one myself?

While building your own PC can be a rewarding experience, we understand that many people do not have the time or resources to research, plan, assemble, test and optimize their PC build.

That's where Computer Lounge comes in - our team has over 20 years of industry experience building PCs for gamers, working professionals and businesses. By shopping with CL you eliminate the risk of damaging brand new components and are promised a quality, tested and complete system.

Are the pre-built PCs tested before shipping?

At Computer Lounge all of our computers undergo thorough testing and optimization before they reach the your doorstep. By running each PC through our standardized testing and optimization procedure (eg. I/O ports checklist, thermal stability tests, performance stress tests, etc.), we can ensure that all of the components are working together seamlessly to give you the best experience possible, right out of the box.

How long does it take to get my PC?

We aim to ship all in stock pre-built PCs within 1 - 3 working days. We ship every business day Monday to Friday. We do not ship on public holidays or weekends. If there is a public holiday during the week please allow an extra day for delivery.

Additional delivery information can be found here.

Will my PC be safe in transit?

At Computer Lounge, we pride ourselves in prioritizing the safety of your PC. All of our pre-built PCs are packed using foam padding internally and boxed meticulously to ensure safe transit.

Once your order is packed and ready to go we will dispatch your order using a signature only courier ticket. We will automatically email you the tracking info to make sure you can track the PC every step of the way so you can be assured it ends up in the right place.

Please remove all the packaging material before turning on your PC to avoid damaging components.

How do I set up my pre-built PC once it arrives?
