ADK Gaming: Custom Built Computers, Overclocking, Gaming Systems, Wholesale components,GeForce
ADK (Advanced Design of Kentucky) was born in 1998 out of a love for Gaming computers and a need to
feed the upgrade fever that plagues many computer gamers. In less than 4
months it went from a part time hobby to a full time job. Started in a
garage by one man (Scott) we are now housed in a 4000 sq ft facility with a
retail storefront and 8 employees.
We are committed to purchasing and selling only the finest products
available! Not necessarily the most expensive, but time tested products with
the best value for your money.
In building our custom computer systems, we keep with the same philosophy,
you won't find "no name" components or yesterday's technology in our
computers.
With longevity in mind and quality components, each system is individually
"custom" designed and hand crafted for your needs. We do not have pre-built
systems sitting on a shelf.
Despite our growth we are still a small family run business, with friendly small business
attitude and service. You, are our most important asset.
Note: This is a tongue-in-cheek look at us, so please bring your sense of humor along for the ride!
