In a welcome follow-up to its former experiential centre, homegrown PC maker Aftershock PC is opening a new space that focuses on hands-on comparisons of PC components and AI applications with custom hardware.
The 1,120-square-foot showroom is more spacious than its previous setup at Suntec City, allowing visitors to test systems first-hand through real-world cases across gaming, content creation, AI, and productivity. Nearest to the door is a lineup of different monitors running various apps and titles, including Arc Raiders, Black Myth: Wukong, and Battlefield 6, making it easier to note the distinctions between them and pick out the ideal model. Take a closer look at some of the rigs, and their personality comes through in custom design elements, from bubble tea-inspired internals to anime visuals.
Aftershock PC worked closely with tech partners such as AMD, NVIDIA, Gigabyte, Microsoft, and Intel to power these play stations, but demonstrations are also available on laptops and racing simulators. For those seeking custom builds, the Techyard area offers individual and upgrade parts, with a display showcase highlighting how the IPS, OLED, and curved viewing experience stack against one another.
Mash, meanwhile, serves as a one-stop for all keyboard needs, where visitors can build their dream keyboard on the spot or pay for the service to do so after choosing the keycaps and switches. Elsewhere, the Omnidesk area presents inspiration for creative, productivity, and streaming setups.
Beyond the hardware, the experiential centre aims to help the community better understand how AI can be hosted and run locally, as well as operate in real-world scenarios. According to Jonathan Teo, the head of marketing, there will be “new experiences every month through exclusive products, special sales, workshops, and community watch parties.”
“The experiential centre represents our commitment to continually raising the bar in how people experience technology,” said founder Marcus Wee in the official press release. “It’s about helping customers make more confident decisions by letting them see, feel, and understand what their setups can do.”
The Aftershock Experiential Centre opens on 14 February and is located at 996 Bendemeer Rd, #01-05, Singapore 339944.
