Custom PC Build Estimator

Plan a custom PC using transparent pricing: Node404Null charges a $175 build fee, then the client pays for the parts they choose. This version uses higher 2026 parts ranges so the estimate does not make hardware look cheaper than it really is.

What can increase the final price?

The $175 build fee is the Node404Null service price. Parts, tax, shipping, monitor, peripherals, and software licenses are separate because those depend on the client’s choices, current component availability, and current Microsoft license pricing.
