When High‑End Gaming Turns Into a Quarantine Ransom
Gamer Vignesh Rajkumar hit the dreaded “stay‑in‑bed” zone, and his gaming rig made a brutal exit from his apartment. He got stuck in a 14‑day lockdown, had to pack only the bare essentials, and was forced to leave his $10,000 powerhouse behind.
The Aftershock Rescue Operation
- Swift Response: Singapore’s Aftershock team saw Vignesh’s tweet and spring into action.
- Somebody Would Ship Splendid: They hauled the expensive machine out of his home, wrapped it as if it were fragile, and had it delivered straight to his quarantine hotel.
- They’d Have Paid Nothing: The whole show ran at zero cost—a sharp reminder that community help still exists during a pandemic.
Quarantine‑Comforts: Rise of the “Cottage Industry”
While people hunkered down, niche services for home‑bodies have taken off. Think of:
- Exercise bikes that get you moving without leaving the door.
- Nintendo Switches that keep the fun going, one joystick at a time.
- Remote‑control steamers, portable mini‑fridges, and even artisanal “couch‑planners” that guarantee nothing’s left behind in a hotel room.
Those creative solvers do more than offer optional gadgets; they partner with the spirit of staying in place. Even the most binge‑worthy series on Netflix can’t compensate for that lonely stretch in a white‑washed bubble.
Bottom Line
When you’re given the choice between playing a game and playing a game with people, it might look silly, but the difference is real. In a time when the outside world is locked out, the quiet kindness of delivering a headset might be the brightest buffer against isolation.

Meet the hero – Vignesh and his gold‑mined galaxy
After a whirlwind trip to the Ivory Coast, Vignesh, the Managing Director of Royal Nuts and Dorado, found himself in an unexpected lockdown. But guess who stepped in like a knight from the circuitry realm? Aftershock PC, the Singapore‑based custom PC builder that’s all about RGB wizardry.
What’s the scoop?
- 24/7 Brightness: A wall‑full of RGB colors, because who needs a gloomy quarantine?
- Power & Speed: A powerhouse rig that can handle gaming marathons, livestreams, and any marathon of YouTube tutorials.
- Built for Vignesh: Not your typical “minnow” machine—this beast was tailored to keep him “tech‑fiendly” and entertained.
Why it matters
When the world slowed down, the little tech world didn’t. Aftershock PC turned a 14‑day quarantine into a showcase of lights, performance, and pure unadulterated joy.
Quick Gratitude
Thanks to the custom builder’s speedy delivery, Vignesh is now not just surviving his lockdown but thriving—dramatic, colorful, and a little less gray.
Vignesh’s 9‑k Laptop – The Ultimate Hot‑Spot For Work‑From‑Hotel
After snagging Aftershock’s flagship Ultracore build, the company hooked the $9,636 monster straight to his hotel room. Picture a slick laptop, a crisp monitor, a keyboard and mouse—all delivered so Vignesh can make the most of his stay indoors.
What Makes It a Beast
- Powerhouse Specs – Top‑tier CPU, GPU, and RAM that will snort through any game or design task.
- EK Water‑Cooling – Premium liquid cooling keeps the beast humming even during marathon sessions.
- Ready‑To‑Use – Plug‑in monitor, keyboard, and mouse set up: just power‑on and go!
Where the Problem Lies
All that power might as well be a fancy kettle if the hotel wifi is a slow‑poke. The backpack‑speed router will struggle to keep up with the rig’s online demands.
The Quarantine Champion
When the world turned inside‑out, the PC Master Race found its star player: a powerful laptop in a hotel lobby, ready to dominate the game‑streaming queue.
Corralling enough bandwidth might just be the next upgrade on Vignesh’s wish list.
