2024] 9 Recommended PC Shops in Akihabara! Recommended stores to buy a gaming PC!

The number of games distributed on dedicated PC platforms such as Steam and Epic Games is increasing, and the number of people playing games on PCs is steadily growing. In addition, the demand for high-spec gaming PCs is increasing year by year as titles such as "Armored Core 6" and "Street Fighter 6," which require high specs, become popular and are played live by Vtubers and video distributors.

These high-spec gaming PCs are often purchased as BTO units, which are basically configured by freely combining various parts. However, many people may find it difficult to decide on their own what to install, such as the grade of CPU and graphics board, and the capacity of memory and SSD, because of the high degree of customization flexibility.

In such cases, why not go to a specialized PC store in Akihabara and ask for advice?

Appearance

This used PC store is about a 4-minute walk from JR Akihabara Station. The store handles used Windows and Mac models, and offers reused products at low prices after thorough quality control, including data deletion, cleaning, inspection, and operation checks.


The following are some of the features that we found.

  • The store offers a wide variety of products.
  • The friendly and cheerful atmosphere with courteous customer service and consultation makes it easy for women and beginners to come in.
  • Although it is a junk PC, you can touch and check the operation on the spot.

1st floor sales floor


Although most of the PCs are for business use, gaming PCs with graphics boards are also available, and are recommended for those who want to start PC gaming seriously but want to keep the initial cost low. Used parts are also available, and operation-confirmed graphics boards are also sold, so it is possible to purchase only a graphics board to power up your own PC. The store also carries many makes and models, so it is easy to find your favorite one, and you can also enjoy finding bargain products that are only available in the store.


First floor sales floor


The store has a space for customers to check the operation of their machines, so they can make a purchase only after they are satisfied with the machine's performance.


In addition, if you want a product with a warranty or a product that is not available at the store (Internet store product), you can place an order from the order PC provided, settle the account on the spot, and have it sent to your home (delivery to a designated address is also possible). In this case, the price will be 5% off the online price, making the purchase even more economical.
