RAI Start
Everyone deserves a beginning.
RAI Start exists because not everyone needs a flagship, and not everyone can afford one. We pair carefully selected refurbished parts with a few new essentials — usually the SSD, the PSU and the RAM — to deliver a machine that feels responsive, lasts, and can be upgraded later when the budget grows.
What you get
Six things every RAI Start build comes with.
Refurb meets new
Inspected used CPU/board/case, paired with a brand-new SSD, PSU and RAM — the parts that fail first.
SSD by default
Even our cheapest build gets an SSD. The single biggest difference between a slow PC and a fast one.
Upgrade-friendly
We choose boards with spare RAM slots and a free PCIe slot, so you can grow into the machine.
Honest grading
Every refurb part is graded A/B/C and disclosed up front. No surprises six months in.
Software ready
Pre-installed with a clean Windows or Linux setup, browser, video conferencing and basic productivity.
1-year build warranty
One year of on-site support — plus we'll honor each part's individual warranty separately.
Sample builds
Starting points, not fixed menus.
