Lately Ive been in the market for a boutique gaming PC. Its really surprised me as to how many companies who specializes in building gaming PCs have popped up in the last couple of years. I remember 7-8 years ago when it was just Falcon NW and Alienware. Now youve got Vigor, DigitalStorm, Maingear, etc.
Is the market for boutique gaming PCs really that big that all these companies can survive? Other than myself I dont know of anyone else in my area whos interested in buying a pre-built gaming PC and most people who are interested in purchasing pre-built PCs dont know enough and usually go and order with Dell.
It just seems like its starting to get a little saturated because all the companies pretty much offer the same thing. They arent building theyre own CPUs, graphic cards, or sound cards. They all use the same components to build their computers and they all strive to offer the best customer service. It seems the only difference is the name of the company.
How do all these different companies that offer the same product manage to stay alive? Especially in the southern California area where 4-5 of these companies are located.
