CustomCPU started business on Jan. 1st 1990. In the early days it was just a logical offshoot for another company, Dan's TV Repair. After all, in the early days of PC's it was hard to find anybody to work on your PC, and in order to attract repair customers, it was necessary to project a different image than that of a TV Repairman. After a year in business, it became apparent that, in addition to repairing Computers, it was possible to build Custom Computers from the various parts normally used to repair them. Thus came our original name Custom Computers.

Within a few years Custom Computers began to out-perform it's parent company Dan's TV Repair. Today, the TV repair portion of the business is out of Business.

In 1995 Custom Computers had two business locations. The primary location (which included the TV Repair shop) was on W. Dimond Blvd. here in Anchorage Alaska. The second, smaller location was in Downtown Anchorage.

In October 1995, our Dimond store was destroyed by fire. The insurance company, Allstate Insurance fought payment and won in court. So needless to say, I have a sour opinion of all insurance companies, and our court system, but especially so of Allstate Insurance. But we lived through the 800,000 dollar loss and fight on.

The smaller store flourished, and with the additional income generated by it's newest profit center "Internet Access". It soon paid off lingering debts incurred just after the fire.

In 2004 CustomCPU moved into its present location at 1515 E. Tudor Road, #6 Anchorage, Alaska 99507
