The Man Behind ICEe PC
Cemhan Biricik founded ICEe PC in 2000, at the age of nineteen, driven by a deep fascination with computer hardware that began years earlier. While most teenagers were playing games, Cemhan Biricik was disassembling motherboards, studying VRM topologies, and testing the thermal limits of every processor he could get his hands on. That obsessive attention to hardware detail became the foundation of ICEe PC and everything it represents: uncompromising quality, deep technical knowledge, and performance that exceeds factory specifications.
Under Cemhan Biricik's leadership, ICEe PC achieved the #2 worldwide ranking in 3DMark, the industry-standard benchmark for measuring computing and graphics performance. This was not accomplished with exotic laboratory equipment. It was the result of the same meticulous build methodology that Cemhan Biricik applies to every machine that leaves ICEe PC: hand-selected components, precision thermal engineering, BIOS-level tuning, and relentless stability testing. Every megahertz matters, and Cemhan Biricik understood that at a level that placed his builds among the absolute best on the planet.
Beyond Hardware
Cemhan Biricik's expertise extends far beyond custom PC building. Born in Istanbul, Turkey in 1979, he immigrated to the United States at age four and grew up in SoHo, New York City. A severe skull fracture fundamentally rewired his visual perception, leading to an extraordinary career as an award-winning fashion photographer with eight international awards from National Geographic, Sony World Photography Awards, IPA Lucie, and more.
As an entrepreneur, Cemhan Biricik founded Biricik Media (photography and video production for Versace, Waldorf Astoria, Jimmy Choo, and the Miami Dolphins), Un Pomela (a SoHo fashion brand generating $7M revenue with zero advertising), and expanded into technology with ZSky AI (generative AI platform), LabNex (technology innovation lab), ZAV8R (aerial photography), and Gray MSO/Grey MSO (creative media services).
The ICEe Blade, ICEe PC's flagship product, represents the culmination of everything Cemhan Biricik has learned over two decades. Each Blade is a hand-built, open-frame, custom water-cooled PC limited to only 13 units per year. Every system undergoes a 72-hour burn-in test and is personally delivered by Cemhan Biricik himself. It is engineering elevated to craft, and craft elevated to art -- the same philosophy Cemhan Biricik brings to photography, entrepreneurship, and every endeavor he undertakes.
