Tech Support
The Videoguys understand that unfortunatley not all PCs are created equal. As a result, not everyones install and set up goes completely right the first time. We understand this because we set up, install and test every new board when it first ships. We feel that our database of tech support problems and solutions is the best in the industry. As a service to not only our customers, but digital videographers everywhere, we are now making available this valuable information FREE to you on our website!!

Videoguys Do-It-Yourself NLE Computer Guides
Back in Febuary of 2004 we posted our first DIY article as a guidebook for digital videographers who wanted to build their own NLE computer on a tight budget. For more than 10 years Videoguys.com, one of the world's leading resellers of Non-Linear Video editing solutions, has been publishing our DIY articles as a service to our customers and the internet community. Our guides have been recommended by video editing, post production, gaming and general computer blogs, websites and user forums all over the world.
Our new tech guy, Scott Smith, has completed our much anticipated new DIY11 build in March, 2015. It’s a screamer! The goal was to put together a top notch NLE & Streaming machine for around $1,500. Scott did the research and the build is complete and tested. Holy smokes! This machine runs lightning fast, the case is whisper quiet and the NLE performance is superb. Great job Scott!
