A practical UK comparison of Computey, eBay, and Facebook Marketplace for buying and selling used PC parts: audience, protection, and logistics.
From a designer’s perspective: How AI-generated imagery fuels creative exploration, shapes visual direction, and inspires the unique aesthetics behind JNXPC’s custom-built PC systems.
At JNXPC, we build custom systems designed to perform—but we also obsess over how they *look*. Because for us, a PC isn’t just a tool. It’s a visual experience. A personal statement. A physical extension of creativity.
That’s where AI-generated imagery comes in. Not to replace designers or automate our process—but to expand what’s possible. To help us dream up forms, textures, and moods that push the edge of what a custom PC *could* be.
It all begins with an idea: a mood, a material, a fictional environment. Using generative AI tools, we translate those sparks into visual concepts. The goal isn’t realism—it’s inspiration.
We might prompt for:
A collection of PC build showcase images demonstrating various RGB lighting configurations and cable management techniques.
The results? Sometimes absurd. Sometimes broken. But often—brilliant. They reveal aesthetic combinations we’d never arrive at manually.
From those AI outputs, we extract what matters:
We don’t copy AI outputs pixel for pixel. Instead, we translate them into creative direction—themes, moods, materials. These become references that inform our build planning, brand design, and marketing content.
Once we’ve narrowed the inspiration, we align it with actual hardware constraints. We ask:
Our builds don’t replicate AI concepts—they’re informed by them. The results are PCs that feel fresh, personal, and sometimes, like they were pulled from a sci-fi artbook.
This process gives us more than visuals. It gives us creative freedom without consequence. AI lets us experiment at speed, try on aesthetics that break norms, and craft systems that aren’t just built for performance—but built to express.
And because each image is ours—generated by us—it becomes part of our proprietary visual language. Part of the JNXPC identity.
"We don’t manufacture cases. We don’t 3D print our wildest ideas (yet). But we do something just as bold: we let AI show us what’s next, and we build toward it—one inspired system at a time."

Current methods to buy and sell tech and electronics are dominated by generic platforms that have highly layered fees and poor structuring. Sellers lose margin, buyers overpay, and the market remains inefficient, and more importantly: underserved.
