Redfern · Sydney gaming workshop
Custom rigs forged where the surf meets the circuit board
From liquid-cooled battlestations to lovingly restored retro consoles, we build and repair gaming gear a stone’s throw from Redfern Station. Drop by the bench, grab a cold one, and let’s talk frames per second.

Word on the boardwalk
What our regulars are saying
“They rebuilt my water loop after a bad DIY attempt and it has run whisper-quiet for eight months. Picked it up the same week I ordered.”
Jordan M.

“Brought in a dead Mega Drive from a garage sale. Priya recapped it and modded RGB out — looks and sounds better than my childhood one ever did.”
Aisha R.

“Four coaching sessions with Cass and I finally climbed out of Gold. The VOD reviews are brutal in the best way.”
