JEDS started in 2003 with two gamers in a Southern California garage, building PCs for friends and fellow enthusiasts. A lot has changed since then. These five lessons haven’t.
1. The first build and the thousandth should match
Customers don’t care what number their system was. That’s why everything starts with a clear build standard — and a golden unit every system is compared against.
2. Test everything, even on the busiest day
The week you’re tempted to skip testing is exactly the week a bad batch slips through. Testing every unit is non-negotiable for us.
3. Most problems are planning problems
Parts shortages, missed dates and rushed builds usually trace back to the start. Time spent on the plan saves weeks on the line.
4. Returns are free feedback
Every returned unit is telling you something. Listen to it, and the next batch is better.
5. People want to talk to people
Our founding rule was to treat every customer like family. In practice that means real people who pick up the phone and know your build — at any size.
That’s the short version. For the full story, read about JEDS — or say hello.
