PC tower rentals in San Diego
Desktop PCs and small form factor machines where something has to sit under a counter or behind a screen and keep working.
Full tower or mini
A mini PC hides behind a monitor or inside a kiosk panel and runs full Windows, usually the right answer for signage, check-in and anything where the computer should be invisible. A full tower is for when the work needs the space inside it.
Screens and peripherals
A tower is a box. Monitors, keyboards, mice and the right cabling come with it unless you tell us you have your own, in which case tell us what they are, so the adapters match.

Common questions
What is the minimum rental period?
One day. We also rent by the week, by the month, and ongoing for as long as you need it.
Longer periods cost less per day. If you're not sure how long the job will run, tell us. It's usually cheaper to book the longer period than to extend a short one.
What do you need before equipment goes out?
Usually one or more of: a credit card security deposit, a purchase order, or a certificate of insurance. Which ones depends on the size of the job and whether we've worked with you before.
Where a certificate of insurance covers the equipment, we may still ask for a card on file to cover the deductible.
None of this is a credit check or an application. A salesperson will tell you exactly what's needed for your job when they quote it.
Can you load our software before it arrives?
Yes, and it's the part most people don't think to ask for. We load your software, settings and naming convention, and test it here before anything ships.
Forty machines that all boot to the same place beat forty machines someone has to configure in a ballroom the night before.
Do you deliver, or do you ship?
Both, and which one depends on the job rather than on the distance alone.
Anything outside San Diego usually makes more sense shipped. Some San Diego jobs do too: a few laptops going to an office is often better as a package than as a van visit. Larger jobs, event setups and anything that has to be built on site are usually delivered in person.
We'll tell you which makes sense for your job when we quote it, and what it costs either way.
How late can I order and still have it go out today?
Later than you can most places, because we’re on Pacific time. When it’s 4pm on the east coast and suppliers there have shut, it’s 1pm here and there’s still most of a working day to configure, pack and get equipment on a truck.
It depends on the job. Forty machines imaged to your build take longer than four off the shelf. Call and ask. If today isn’t possible, we’ll tell you.
What happens if equipment fails during my event?
Call us. A technician will work through it with you first: a good number of machines that seem dead are not, and five minutes on the phone can save waiting for a van.
If it does need replacing, we get a replacement to you by whatever is genuinely fastest for your situation: driving it out, shipping it, or shipping it overnight. What that looks like depends on where you are and how urgent it is.
Being in San Diego means that for local jobs, driving is usually an option. For a job in another state it won't be, and we'll be straight with you about the timing.
What happens if I need the equipment for longer?
Tell us before the return date and we'll extend it. Normally the rental moves to the next period: a week becomes two, a month becomes two months. Sometimes we can pro-rate instead, depending on the job.
The important part is the phone call. Ask before the due date and we will work it out with you.
Don’t see what you need? Just call.
If we don’t stock it, we can usually source it. One call covers the whole kit. A real person answers during business hours. Press 1 and someone here will pick up.
