What clients say


  • I couldn't have asked for a better experience! The service is fast, reliable, and always available whenever I need help, no matter how small the issue. Communication is easy, and the team is always eager to assist in resolving any difficulties. Choosing their software and hardware was one of the best decisions I've made. Highly recommend!

  • Exceptional service from Modena Computers! They helped me with my workstation and the turnaround time was impressively quick. The staff was knowledgeable and professional throughout the entire process. My workstation is now running perfectly - exactly what I needed. What really stands out is their attention to detail and great customer service. Would definitely recommend them for any computer needs!

  • Truly great service provided by Damien and Kaamraan at Modena. The Hydra Workstation performs above all expectations and support was provided throughout the purchasing and customisation process. Excellent communication and customer service was provided throughout the build and commissioning process. Would highly recommend them to any business or academic institutions looking for a High Performance Computing solution.

  • If you are in charge of the IT department and manage CAD workstations, Modena computers are going to be your best friends. They will tailor a CAD workstation to meet your requirements and budget and giving your CAD operator a very good experience. These guys have considerable CAD related hardware knowledge and don't just spec a PC and ship it, they take time to do all the updates (Windows, Firmware, Bios etc.) and thoroughly test it out before they send it off. They also do some Windows tweaks to ensure you get the best performance out of your hardware. I can highly recommend Damien and Kaamraan. Keep up the good work guys!

  • Overall 5 star experience. Modena made fast and good recommendations, provided us with fast quotes and kept us updated us through the order process and followed up afterwards. Highly recommended

Questions, answered


How quickly will I get my workstation?

Most workstations are built, tested and dispatched in under a week, with delivery anywhere in South Africa.

Which model is right for me?

Start with the guide above. If your work sits between the two, tell us which software you use and how big your projects get, and we'll recommend a configuration.

Can I change the specification?

Yes. Each model comes in three configurations, and if none fits, request a custom spec and we'll build around your workload.

What does the 4-year warranty cover?

Defects in materials or workmanship. We repair or replace failed parts with new or reconditioned parts of equal or better performance, and cover return shipping within South Africa. Monitors and other peripherals carry their manufacturer's warranty. Read the full warranty terms.

What support do I get after the warranty?

Every workstation includes lifetime labour and hardware support, including free installation of upgrades bought from us. Operating system and software issues fall outside hardware support.

How long do repairs take?

Most repairs are completed within 10 business days of the scheduled start, longer if a part is out of stock. Every repair is guaranteed for 30 days or the rest of your warranty, whichever is longer.

Will my software be installed?

Yes. Your workstation arrives with no bloatware and your preferred software installed and set up, ready to work on day one.

Can I cancel or return my order?

Yes, within 30 days of ordering, subject to our returns terms.
