ADK (Advanced Design of KY) was born in 1998 out of a love for computers and a need to feed the upgrade fever that plagues many computer geek's. In 4 months it went from a part time hobby to a full time job.
Started in a garage by one man (Scott), we are now housed in 4000 Sq Ft, a 2000 Sq Ft Show room with a 2000 Sq Ft Manufacturing area.
Our show room includes a recording studio, video editing suite and Apple demo area. We also stock a good amount of Audio/Video hardware and software.
(pics coming soon)

We are committed to purchasing and selling only the finest products available! Not necessarily the most expensive, but time tested products with the best value for your money, with performance in mind.

In building our custom computer systems, we keep with the same philosophy, you won't find "no name" components or yesterday's technology in our computers.

With longevity in mind, future upgrade paths, and quality components, each system is individually "custom" designed and hand crafted for your needs. We do not have pre-built systems sitting on a shelf.

Despite our growth we are still a small family run business, with friendly small business attitude and service. You, are our most important asset.

4 of us are Musicians, 3 have home studios, (Chris, Mike, and Dave). So you know your computer is being built for Audio by Audio guys who actually use the products.
Scott took 7 years of classical piano and still can't play!
