Expansion into Malaysia

Aftershock PC initially entered the Malaysian market in December 2014 and made a return in February 2018 under the brand Level51 PC, backed by Taiwanese laptop manufacturer Clevo. The company launched its product range and established a showroom in Sunway City. In partnership with Secretlab, Level51 PC offered gaming chairs within the showroom to elevate the retail experience.

In August 2022, Level51 PC underwent rebranding to Aftershock PC to align its identity with operations in Singapore and Australia. This rebranding was publicly revealed at Malaysia's IT Fair held from August 26 to 28.

Expansion into Australia

Aftershock PC made its Australian debut in August 2018 by opening its first showroom in St Kilda, Melbourne. In July 2021, it inaugurated a new headquarters spanning 40,000 square feet in Melbourne. By 2022, GQ Australia recognized Aftershock PC as the nation's sole nationwide retailer dedicated exclusively to gaming PCs, offering both customizable and pre-configured models. Operations at the Melbourne facility were temporarily affected by flooding in 2023 but have since resumed normal activity.

Products

Aftershock PC designs and assembles laptops, desktops, workstations, gaming monitors, and peripherals including mice and keyboards. Early product lines featured models such as the Titan, SM series, and Tremor. The company utilizes components sourced from leading suppliers like Intel, NVIDIA, and AMD, which continue to form the foundation of their offerings as of 2024.

Their liquid-cooled desktop lineup includes the Ultracore and Explorer series. Initial versions of Ultracore provided optional open-loop liquid cooling with customizable aesthetics. The Explorer model is equipped by default with an open-loop cooling system featuring hardline tubing within an open-air chassis design. The 2022 Ultracore generation introduced liquid-cooled CPUs combined with enhanced airflow configurations. That year also saw the release of the Apex 15X EVO laptop, incorporating the Glacier Core external liquid-cooling unit.

The Horizon workstation was launched as a compact small form factor (SFF) desktop prioritizing efficient thermal management alongside quiet fan operation.

Among their innovative creations is the Bubble Tea PC—a water-cooling system designed to resemble floating tapioca pearls found in bubble tea. At PAX Australia 2024, Aftershock unveiled the Medusa gaming PC, drawing inspiration from ancient Greek mythology.

Expanding its presence in display technology, Aftershock’s TECHYARD brand offers OLED panels and esports-grade gaming monitors.
